Hi
On this thread:
http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopi ... 3&t=109494" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
there is lots of info on REA etc. Including some from Ken, who has also been helping me out.
In the yards mentioned (what does CLE stand for?) what type of locomotives and devices were used to move REA and other express cars and head end cars. Would like to locate photos of the express car being spotted etc by a loco of some sort. Maybe a some of the smaller locations they used something different to say a NYC switcher ?
I am after any photos showing movements but especially movement by something a little different.
NYC had a Magor drill loco. Built on a flat car! Found some drawings for this. Anything like this in express car depots?
On here there is a 'Pig" used to move unpowered locos around. http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/licity/licity.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Was anything like this used for express cars.
Were 'Model 20' locos or similar used for this work ?
Your comments would be most valuable. I will now do some research on the towns etc mentioned in the earlier thread.
