I'm sure many are aware of Bob Carlson's passing earlier this year. I understand some folks at the Valley Railroad are trying to do something in his memory? Has this already happened, or is something still planned?

I do not have his contact info. I think this is him...but the links don't work for me. There is a contact e-mail though. http://www.americanrailwaysupplies.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; But Keystone uniform wasn't slow. We did a cap order a couple years ago with them....

The firemans bellcap is not an appropriate replacement in my opinion. The shape is not quite the same. Since Transquip left the scene, there are a couple replacement options. At the Amherst Railway Society Train Show in Springfield, MA in February, there is a gentleman named Paul Yorkis who has cond...

Anyone know the schedule for next week? I know the trains are never consistent for timing. Tuesday is the last day for the coop, but maybe the cars will stay there whenever CSOR has time to pick them up? I know they don't run weekends, so looks like it is Monday or Tuesday.

I sent them a message. i'm late to the party by about a year. They told me last fall that they still had my size and I sat on my hands for whatever reason. Waiting to here back as well...

While browsing on the forums here, it was interesting to see the discussion of our LIRR MP-54 4153. A comment earlier in the conversation that stated "they could care less about the thing and would gladly let it rot" couldn't be further from the truth. That certainly is not our intent with...

BWParker1, There was never a siding that crossed Adams street at grade. Depot Road has been there for years and would be in the way of any railroad tracks there. The siding that you are speaking of was behind Manchester Honda, it was a siding that stopped before Adams Street and it used to be some s...

Original New Haven equipment is often hard to find. As time goes on, originals of everything railroad related will only become more scarce. The locomotive is not being presented as an original New Haven RS-3 since it is one number past the last RS-3 ordered by the New Haven. I applaud the efforts of...

Otto, I think there are different kinds of audience out there in the "Tourist Railway Visitor Community". To the one person, a lot of unrestored equipment may look like junk, but to many others...it may be a work of art. Many others may feel that it's amazing that something so old can stil...

I'll be there!

Yes, when the Shore Line Trolley Museum first started in 1945, some Connecticut Company Cars and even the track was all intact from the Connecticut Company. This line was a portion of the original Branford Electric Railway that opened around 1900. This line used to run all the way out to Stony Creek...

Hello, I'm trying to find some color photographs of New Orleans Public Service uniforms used from the 1920s-1960's. I realize they no longer where a formal uniform like they did in those times. Were the colors black, navy blue? It looks as if their uniform cap was not the typical round top. Looks li...

The trolley museum trackage when owned by it's predecessor, Hartford & Springfield Street Railway did not directly connect to the New Haven's Armory Branch. Trolley cars could operate through Broad Brook on their way down to Rockville. Any passengers wanting to board a train in Broad Brook could...

Everytime I see fall foliage trains on here, I think of the last time I rode the Willimantic, CT to Brattleboro, VT fall foliage excursion. What a fun trip that was. I'm sure many still remember it well. I hope someday it will come back, but I understand it was quite expensive the last time it ran.

Now posted to events! - thanks Otto
