Recently the Falls Road has moved the two passenger cars that were stored on a siding near Causley trucking in Lockport. They are now at the lockport yard. Anyone know why they were moved ? A couple of months ago csx was still running hopper unit trains down the line of atleast sixty cars. Regional...
The first bridge with the is the bridge that carried the NYC Gardenville branch, tucked right behind is the out of service NS that connected to the former PRR. In the distance, the two bridges carried the former Lehigh Valley, one truss alongside the plate girder bridge.
Hope that helps!

I believe this is the caboose. Photo was taken by me on Memorial Day 2014.

I was there with you, Les. I am amazed that they pulled it off. Lots to be proud of here!

Part of the problem is the general decline of personal responsibility in a society that grows increasing stupid over time. I was watching the Fairport NY railcam over the weekend and saw a couple of "old enough to know better" types walking on the railhead itself. If we can't stop crimina...
Very cool video - Matty Gunn is an excellent photographer and videographer. He's done some really fine work.

I have no horse in the fight, but I'll just say this - when I see these things get moved, I'll actually believe it. Honestly, I hope it works out and these motors get saved. I'm rooting for DRM to get them on their property. But the skeptic in me makes me have doubts. I've just seen so many things h...
Yikes that had to have been a wild ride for the crew. I saw the video last week.
NS had it cleaned up quick but that crew is fortunate to only have had their cages rattled, so to speak. I hope the driver and company had a book of citations thrown at them.

Yikes! I'm amazed the rest of the car didn't come apart, spilling it's contents everywhere. Shows what kind of workmanship those old cars had when built!

Nah. Scrappers are disposing of artifacts set aside for 'preservation' but sat rotting in the elements for 30 years. The cost to remove those things for actual preservation / restoration would have been staggering - in the millions. 100 percent. The scrap metal will serve an actual use. We've been ...
