Finally.. after years of following the trials and tribulations of the CMRR..finally got to ride on 8/4/19 with wife (convinced by the ice cream Sundays). On a beautiful day the Alco RS-1 "burbling" up the grade on the outbound trip was worth the fare in itself. I had great discussions with...

Did the county force the placement of equipment on SEVERED rail (land locked) in Phoenicia outside the museum station.? There seems to be plenty of attached track that would have supported storage. Also a two track covered storage facility is visible. Is this empty? That ALCO switcher outside is not...

A great way of experiencing (last week) what is left of this section of rail. An 8 mile round trip, mostly under cover of shade and stream views (in 90+degree). The best part was paralleling RT 28 and then crossing RT28 with activated gates. The look on motorists and truckers wad priceless. I truly ...

HO-6 coming up the Corning Secondary... For the last few years we camped at the KOA in Watkins Glen. HO would come by between 7 and 9PM and would be blowing the grade crossings early enough that the kids could sit on the hill and be acknowledged by the engineer with a blast. The best was the return ...

What a delight it was to ride the Conway Scenic on 6/2. A trip in the ex-GN dome and great commentary over the PA made the trip that could have been boring (for the wife) .. very interesting. What was the best though was the friendly staff and the reply too .. Can I walk around the yard? "Faw S...

Wasn't there one in Garden City - mid 60's - 7th St? . Remember fondly as a toddler going there prior to a lap around the adjacent BOHACKs .

After a rare "change at Jamaica" yesterday 4/6.. I noticed construction south of Track 8.. that looks like new platform structures going up possibly for two more tracks? Is this for real?

Did the train (Autumn Express 10/15) turn to Overhead under NYC on the return to Penn. Is there overhead Catenary on the Amtrak NYC West Shore portion - portal? Train stopped for a number of minutes to switch from diesel to electric?

This had to be the Best Rail Fan experience in a long time (I am OLD) - Amtrak "volunteers" manning coaches - Happy Amtrak Employees!!. Unique.. - Commentary during the trip - Great - Amtrak Matt - CUDOS - I just can't fathom that this train could sideline CSX freights.. Guess this was org...

Seems like a lot of MOW action around Deposit NY.. More action planned?

FYI - these bikes are SOLD-OUT through November, Probably more people on a bike than a trail?

From looking at the great aerial pics of the new bridge---is this being constructed for possible double tracking??

With the new rail bike starting this week out of North Creek.. Is there any coordination with the trains out of Saratoga Springs? I see nothing on either of their websites.

Saw them (the SDs) last week on a Geneva freight..heading out of town. What's the issue with 6 axles..?? thought they were better weight distributed then a four axle??

To the OHHS and AWES of people watching an NS auto (with one loco?) Crawling at almost 0mph over the old bridge. People see why I love he railroads so much. Looked like an HO scale toy.. It was Norfolk Southern.in the business of true railroading,
