Does anyone know of a good, comprehensive roster of CSX's office car train equipment, including retired cars with good images I could use for modelling?

Thanks for any help.

Norfolk Southern Office Car Special

I know AltoonaWorks has a decent office car roster, but its kind of... bland as far as the back-history of the cars goes. Also, it lacks multiple high-res, detailed photos of the different cars for modelling purposes. Does anyone know of a good, semi-exhaustive roster of all the NS office cars, incl...

I've been googling for the past two days and can't find ANYTHING respectable. Does anyone know if anyone has created a comprehensive, all encompassing, high quality roster of the entire Conrail business train? I'd like to know what cars were ever used and what the disposition was. Info regarding div...

Absolutely not.

Croxton to Harrisburg, harrisburg to conway, conway to ????

I'm guessing at two crew swaps west of conway. Right now we are having difficulty gettign from Harrisburg to Conway with one crew. Too often its taking a recrew to make the trip.

I know this is a 3-year old thread, but a nice fun addition: Nickel Plate 765 was upgraded with PRR cab signals in order to operate in the lead position across NS's Pittsburgh Division. She has a 26L brake stand and even a cab-signal self-test system with an older 4-bulb designed cab signal box, opp...

Geared steam on the Pennsy?

Its a fairly simple question, did Pennsy ever have any geared steam engines? I could have sworn I had seen reference to a Shay somewhere in the Pennsy's history, but I can't find it now that I want it. I know C&O used several shays and NYC had a couple shay-trams for street/dock use, but I can't...

Its an interesting hypothesis, and one that requires the introduction of PPP's about 70 years before they actually came about. I of course am referring to Public/Private Partnerships, coalitions that have lead to the NS Heartland & Crescent Corridors, the Meridian Speedway, the Patriot Corridor ...

Two things. 1) Yes, they are solid disc wheels on both sides. When they first pulled 14 out of the barn a few years back, and I got that shot that ended up on railpictures.net, I took a ton of pictures at the time, so I would have solid photographic material to finish my drawing of 14. That included...

Roger, got what you are saying now.

But... it still begs the question: what happened to her other spoked wheel-set?

That picture clearly shows the No.14 also had both leading axles being spoked. Today one is solid, one spoked. I wonder if one of 14's pony wheels ended up on 18?

If not, it sure is strange that she ended up with two different pony axles.
