Amtrak 5/6 have been cancelled the last two days -and Amtrak reports this is due to "snow removal equipment problems"

So I'm wondering what the deal is with Donner - open or closed. (today is 3-16-2023)

Thanks,

I heard tell there's a new lease unit at NY&A? 3399 or something? anyone have pix/info?

There is currently a re-signaling project going on the D-251 track and 261MB between the east end of Babylon xlkg and Patchogue. I would expect that the Green/Green will be gone when that project is complete. Highly possible that the WB signal leaving PD will turn into an RAS signal much to everyone...

Thanks for posting!

In "classic" NYC Board of Transportation signal design, the signals 1/4-way in from the station entrance and 1/2-way in are there for headway performance, to get the next train into the station as close behind the leading train as can be done safely. There is usually an insulated joint wit...

It would be ironic if one of the GMTX units wound up leased by NYA!

Saw that spur used exactly once, by a school car.

I though that was "Brent Back" track, which has spurs for ELM Global, Emjay (now Eastern Resource Recycling), and Metro Star Foods. I could be wrong. (it's happened before...)

I think that's the new-EST switch in Medford: Gershow (Main Gershow) is going to be double ended.

Head-end-view, look at the *position* of the lit lamp in the top signal head - it's definitely a color issue with the camera, but that is a yellow over green. The red lamp on a tri-light signal is in the bottom position on the head. Look at the one after- the second one outside, That's a Medium Clea...

Thanks! Makes sense

Last gap in the list as follows, in red: 5/81 - 1984 CWP CHARLES W. POWERS (CHIEF TRANSPORTATION OFFICER: LISTED ON CREW ASSIGNMENT BOOKS EFF. 10/22/84 1985 – 1987 ??? 1987 - 6/94 JJD JAMES J. DERMODY Thank you. I have two train orders that might close up that date gap a little bit Order No 103 Sep...

Looking through pictures of L&I 9373 on the NY&A, it doesn't seem like there were ditch lights installed (auxiliary lights). I thought those were required after 1995. Was this not this case, or was that unit somehow excepted?

Thanks,
