As for CSX freights from Long Island, waste traffic is up since DSNY is now preferring to have waste by rail as
opposed to trailers to Pennsylvania landfills. Nassau and Suffolk counties in addition to Brooklyn and Queens
also send out waste as well.

When was Ring's End in Bethel last active? The siding and switch are in good condition. Google Earth shows
a centerbeam in April 2016.

Sperry (further north at Shelter Rock Road) also was active with its railcar fleet until moving to Shelton in 2018.

Re: NEC now Fixed Seating Including Rear-Facing

 by R36 Combine Coach ¦  Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:41 am ¦  Forum: Amtrak ¦  Topic: NEC now Fixed Seating Including Rear-Facing ¦  Replies: 101 ¦  Views: 6712

Those who recall full size station wagons in the 60s/70s and even into the 80s and early 90s, the optional third row (for 8 or 9 seat configuration) was usually rearward facing.

As late as 1996 you could order a Chevy Caprice or Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Cruiser with third row seat.

The interurban type lines with long open stretches have higher speeds, such as Riverside (D) Line and the 101
Media Line which can hit 50.

Some regional trains and Metroliners in the 1980s/90s had three classes: coach, business (custom) and first (club class).

66/67 when known as Twilight Shoreliner/Federal had three classes, with first class being Viewliner sleepers.

MNCR and LIRR added a $10 refund fee, which could exceed the cost of a one-way ticket or result in a small amount actually refunded.

No announcement still, so suspension remains in effect.

There were a number of contract commercial account shippers with heavy pallets, they likely moved elsewhere.

Greyhound permanently ended package express service, focusing on passenger service.

Re: Were MBTA tokens every temporarily retired?

The oldest of the modern era tokens in use to 2006 were actually introduced by the predecessor MTA in 1951, see August 2005 ERA Bulletin, p. 15-16. Several commemorative tokens are also mentioned, these include Sail 1992 and the Southwest Corridor.

See also NJT, which might find itself cheaper to rebuild the grandfathered (pre-EPA) GP40s as far back as 1965 over all new diesels.

Back in the day there were lunch counters in many stations. Most notably was the counter on the shuttle at Grand Central Terminal, as seen in The French Connection.

A saga that began in 2005 finally is complete. That year the appropriations and bonds for the purchase of the new cars was considered and approved by the General Assembly with an estimated cost (CT share only, 65/35 split with NY) of $675 million (2005 value), with additional fare increases between ...
