So I was looking at the LTEX facilites in McDonald and Warren Ohio on Google Maps and saw this at Warren. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1836327,-80.8683153,54m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Most of the locomotives you can't see the sides but that one you can just make out the big G.

BTW, this is sure an impressive train through Wilmington! http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo=2018061008292116350.jpg Never mind the question of where in the world they could store 62 cars down and around Boston, I imagine it has been a while since this many went through Wilmington in one train....

There are rumors of a customer going in at Industrial Way Park(where Cold Storage is located). D That would be good news (both new business and to keep the spur active). They have been doing a lot of work rebuilding the warehouse opposite WCS (it is the first building on the spur). I have been wond...

I still havent seen a recordation for the C40's, the B40's or the 3400's. 6 total coming. KSmitty: Here is the recordation of the 3400s: https://www.stb.gov/recordations.nsf/ecdb3768a2c20efe852570650065c0ec/981ce2914624c30785257e54005ac694/$FILE/31745.pdf If that link doesn't work, search the stb r...

At this point nothing is posted on any C40-8Ws on the STB recordation page. Not questioning the validity of the other posts, just making an observation.

That is fantastic. I would love to get the 4' x 5' version, but I would have to save my nickles for a while. As I used to live in Oak Square, it would be cool if he had included the Green Line's A branch (and the older end of the E line), but considering how great the work is, those are details I wo...

Suppose Hunter will try for another Can-Am merger? He has protégés at both major Canadian lines, and neither has an entryway into the New York market - CP in particular could use a strong Eastern US partner. It helps that the American political climate is ripe for big business to get bigger. CSX mi...

Branchline got its start repainting Athearn kits. They then moved on to making their own kits, and then sold their HO scale tooling to Atlas. New England Rail Service also issued kits that were based on Athearns. Greenway Products used both Athearn and Bowser. There are others too, but I am drawing ...

Appears to be for gravel pit. Ties for new siding are MDOT. PAR old ties (some burned) still near row for what looks like at least a quarter mile and brush cut recently.
