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!

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...

I promise you this region is not filling up with people. People can't wait to leave this state for a variety of valid reasons.

Re: LV use of Allentown Yard

In 1965, LV and CNJ started sharing Allentown Yard (as well as shared trackage between Lehighton and Laurel Run) in consolidation efforts to help stop financial bleeding. So yes, LV was classifying some trains from '65 through CNJ's evacuation of Pennsylvania. Some trains that had no need to stop in...

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...

Re: NS grade crossing collision and derailment caught on camera

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 ...
