This would be the single biggest improvement to the A division to grade separate Rogers St as they did at Dekalb in the 50s.

Terrible idea.

I'm really getting alarmed at the trend of proposing regressive ideas to solve real current problems.

Meh, the OT board is toxic. Plenty of good folks on the regulars.

Subchat has been down for weeks again. I think the site is abandoned.

I rode these last week and noticed it used an ALP45DP and ran in electric mode all the way to Dover. Is this normal? If it is, is why not run it into NYP? People who want NYP and use 854 have a 22 minute wait at Newark Broad for the next Midtown Direct.

Just checking to see what is the closest schedule for SU99. I am itching to catch this train on old L&HR trackage. Mondays and Wednesdays are best for me until Labor Day. Catching this train at several locations(on different trips most likely) is my biggest "to do" in 2014.Wish me luc...

Thanks for all the info, guys.

Was recently in this small town and saw what was an obvious railroad ROW, partially built upon. It runs roughly parallel between Maple St and Rt 17A, turning northeast towards Goshen upon leaving town. It's probably either Erie or L&NE related. Does anyone have info on this? I am new to Orange C...

The issue is, you still cannot run reverse peak service with just passing sidings. Neither the PJL or the PVL have this because regular rush hour service is too frequent. The trains would not be able to hop from siding to siding. Where were the switches replaced along the line? I don't understand t...

I was surprised by the description: "The locomotives fate is yet to be determined." That looks fairly minor in the grand scheme of things - certainly repairable and worth repairing on a relatively young and expensive locomotive. If her frame was bent in the collision, her future is likely...

Someone in another forum posted this interesting photo of a 10 car NYC EMU train running through the Bell Telephone complex at Bank & Washington Sts in 1934. It indicates that there still was passenger service AFTER the High Line was opened. I had no idea that this was even possible, as the 30th...

I have already been called an idiot by another member on another topic on this forum, but when I look at the pictures of the tragic accident this morning on the Hudson Line, I think that this would have been less severe if the locomotive had been pulling the train. Pushing passenger cars will certa...

Mine was 2301 (I think that was the number), the 8:30 AM train from Hoboken to Bay Head. It ran non-stop from NWK to Long Branch. Got cut in August 2008. Rode it in the winter of that year and we had like 4 people on it out of Newark.

This project is as dead as a doornail. This was a dream of Assemblyman Bill Pascrell back when he was running for office. It would have been the biggest boon doggle if it were to be built. Paterson residents could not afford the fares if implemented, and what is there in Hackensack to lure Paterson...
