You can still see the cluster of "I" beams under the timetable eastern most pier to this day. There was still a slow order over it when I was working that end of the railroad.

Scot, I think these came from the Valley Railroad Museum. As I was sorting out VRRM inventory several years ago, I noticed one of these that and it had a blank spot for the date below "n-6" but the only difference between this and the other ones floating around was that the back was flat a...

Hi Everyone, Here is another update. Just as the economic conditions have plagued small to major for-profit companies, small contribution funded organizations such as the Sayre Historical Society have been hit doubly hard. In many ways, I feel that organizations such as ours were the first to feel i...

Matt, That would be such a fantastic move on NS's part to route up through there. The Vosburg tunnel is the scapegoat that officials quote quite often as the primary reason when I ask, but I have my doubts because I worked the Binghamton-Allentown job for several months and I never had any hi-cube o...

Matt, you are right, although minor adjustment to the points..the R&N owns from Mehoopany to M&H Jct. The Allentown-Buffalo job leaves Allentown and stays on the NS side between Lehighton and M&H Jct. up through the gorge..usually...RBMN owns the adjacent track from Lehighton to M&H ...

HA, just keep pressing Martinez to come up with a solution to help me avoid East Binghamton Yard. Good luck trying to learn that new NS dispatching software module.

HBG, Glad to hear Ive got a direct line with at least one of you guys now!! If you ever work the Tier or Lehigh....make sure you give me a good run!!

Lakeshoredave, you might consider combining all your "heads up" posts to one single thread. Starting a new thread any time a train gets called is really a space killer and probably isnt of great interest to half or more of the people here.

Hey HBG... are you a current DS with NS?

HAHA, thats a much better line than the one I offered Golden. Ill grant you artistic license on that rewrite. Glad its going to be brought back into the sunlight. As stated by LVRR325, it was offered to us through a 3rd party about 6 or so years ago at quite a great deal of money (withheld because I...

GA- This offer probably stands similar to those you may have gotten from many other historical groups, but If you need a place to store it in exchange for the attraction value of the engine sitting there, the Sayre Historical Society has plenty of room on the display track on the passenger station g...

Steel toe?

When did this change? I know we need them to work over the D&H but is that an NS rule? (My books are in my locker so I cant get to them)

Friends, After nearly five years, I am proud to say that the Sayre Museum has become a near reality. The first phase of the exhibits (mostly about Sayre) will be open to the public during our grand opening on Sunday, Dec 16 from 2-4pm. The exhibits are primarily in the south (east) waiting room, whi...

John and I and others met during a series of meeting up in Geneva a few years ago. This was my first onsite exposure to the operations and during the meetings he was quite enthusiastic about the line's operations and could drop quotes, averages, figures and data without any hesitation or confusion. ...

You are correct in your current assesment of the routing. The upper end of the Lehigh isnt used for through freights. The Vosburg tunnel cant handle anything higher than plate F (I believe) cars. Although when East Binghamton was flooded a few years ago, NS ran a few large run through trains down th...
