This website has much about both the Erie and DL&W, but of most interest to me is this particular webpage; http://www.jon-n-bevliles.net/RAILROAD/corning.html It is a set of photographs taken by Clyde Baker in the early 1950's right before the Erie moved it's mainline from the south side of Corn...

Yes it is Geneva, the double track to the left in the picture is the track that runs from Geneva to Lyons. The track the train is on is the track that runs through Auburn to Solvay the old NYC Auburn Road. The track going to the right, with a boxcar partly hidden behind a tree is a connection to the...

My mistake, it was on NYC(K&M) from Charleston WV through Columbus to Bellefontaine or to Toledo, the branch in WV was the Kanawha and West Virginia Railroad which connected with the NYC/C&O co-owned Nicholas, Fayette & Greenbriar Railroad deep in West Virginia which serviced many mines....

The NYC NE series of articulated Mallets were actually first built for the Berkshire Mountain region of the Boston and Albany; Moving up from Consolidations, with four axles of power, to Mallets in the Berkshires only made sense, according to the report in the AERJ. The territory was "...countr...

Guessing by the RS2/3 painted all black which seems to have a PC logo on the front and van in the background (early to mid 70's f...

Traffic on the St. Lawrence Sub might be light tonight because another rocket-scientist in a semi smacked the bridge on Onondaga Pkwy. 🤦🏻‍♂️ https://www.syracuse.com/traffic/2019/0 ... ridge.html Probably not, When I lived north of Syracuse, late 70's early-mid 80's this happened once or twice a ye...

When was this shop built on the Erie? Aerial photos show the shop in place in 1968. Nothing in 1952. Thanks. When the Erie realigned their track from the south side of Corning to run along side the DL&W from Painted Post to Gibson. The Erie gave up their yard which was next to the south side NY...

O/T to the recent discussion, however relevant to the U&D. This video contains scenes from around 1900 filmed by Thomas edison including areas on the CMRR sections of the former U&D. Nice views from the old west shore in Kingston and up the U&D line. enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Actually the end of track is in Harford NY, and those tank cars are probably JPG tank cars from the Empire Gas distributorship about 1/2 mile from end of track. There is a siding for tank car emptying there. Ariel View. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Owego,+NY/@42.418838,-76.2053457,18z/data=!3m1...
