When Conrail closed the Scranton yard they still maintained service on the Chamberlin track, no? Also, the Laurel Line was operated to Moosic after the yard facilities were shut down, right? AFAIK Conrail never stopped serving Scranton, they just downsized drastically. So the question - as far as Sc...

Disperse that $19 Million to the people that live there and really help the economy. Investing in something that will only help a few just does not seem justifiable to me. Mike That's a romantic thought, but after the citizens blow the $19 million on lottery tickets, beer and smokes then what? We n...

Just because the T&B was on the east bank of the Hudson and the Erie Canal was on the west bank, it doesn't mean they could not have interchanged. Canal's often used bridges called "change bridges" to cross rivers or change the tow path from one side to another. There was a change brid...

We did not want the change. We only have 3 members who live south of LB. As for just taking PATH to 34th Street the unfortunate part is that it takes atleast 30 minutes more each way. If a. Ariety of ferry services return to Hoboken terminal, the new destination really only benefits those who work i...

There is one other private club in the US, running out of Chicago. METRA hauls their single level car in a trainset of MLs. NJT doesn't want that for a number of reasons, some mentioned here and some not.

NJT wants multi-levels on the NJCL trains to NYP and there are some other reasons related to equipment usage. It was not our choice to switch off the NYP run as most of our current members go to New York. However, it is a tremendous opportunity for commuters on the south end of the line to upgrade t...

Tomorrow is the last run of the Jersey Shore Commuters Club car to New York City. Beginning Monday, the car will be on a Bay Head-Hoboken schedule.

So, if you are out railfanning tomorrow 10/30, it's the last chance to shoot #5459 behind electrics.

I gotta say, having lived in MonCo my whole life, and being old enough to remember the sand trains, I never saw a CNJ GP-7 on one. SD's and RS-3's for sure.
