I once learned as a teenager (and much more the railfan than I am today) that tracks - all eventually becoming part of the New Haven, converged at Hawleyville from six different directions. A review of New Haven system maps, as well as the immediate video submitted here by Mr. Shepaug, certainly bea...

Here's more from the NBC outlet WBAL that was filed April 19:

Key takeaway from this report is that there has been no breach of the m/v Dali's hull, so at this time, such can be considered sound.

Finally lest we forget, steam held on until "late in the game"....so it figures that their freight Diesels, which were mainly GP units, would be liveried as if they were simply carrying on in the footsteps of their steam predecessors. For ready reference: https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5...

For ready reference, here is a video summarizing the 2012 VIA derailment incident at Aldershot ON: https://www.google.com/search?q=aldershot+train+derailment&sca_esv=ce6ee22342e8dec9&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn08Elo32wKMCNLtHD8-0wFNsLd-FUg%3A1713715378965&source=hp&ei=sjglZpe7OKy70PEPk...

Mr. Wolf's local Fox outlet, WBFF 45, has a good report on the status of the debris removal. The video apparently was produced within the past several days:

2024 - 1999 = 25 year old engine... but still, seemed to be doing mighty fine showing the new upstarts how it's done and looking as good as a black brick can in doing so! Mr. White, going off topic at the sufferance of the Moderators, do you also refer to Norfolk Southern engines as "Black Bri...

Let's hope for the good of your local economy, Mr. Wolf, your immediate holds to be the case.

Possibly Mr. ExCon, Deere wanted to get their farm tractors to the Port of Brunswick in time to make the sailing the Times' reporter was covering, and that they will revert to rail transportation as the pipeline gets filled again. No question whatever; highway transport is quicker than rail. But if ...

Meanwhile, back on the rails and waves. https://gaports.com/rail/ Presuming the Times' reporter has the facts straight, I have to wonder why Deere has chosen to use trucks from Waterloo to Brunswick. Both Chessie and Topper serve the Port. It certainly appears that the Baltimore Longshoremen represe...

Mr. Wolf, my way sure sounded like a waitress at Haussner's. But then, you live in the area, and I do not.

And I understand that Haussner's is no more.

Lest we forget, Mr. Dunville, both the NP and the UP had those bars you note as well. However, I do not recall them on Eastern trains; especially the New Haven MU's I reported on earlier in the topic. Adding insult to injury, just like the Amtrak A-1's, the NH did not have Dutch Doors except on thei...

You have a point, Mr. Olesen. There have been no reports that the train was without HEP, so one of those engines must have been operative. Now so far as a PTC failure, yes apparently that is grounds to have an engine Bad Ordered. But what ever happened to a Rules Qualified pair of eyes (depending on...

Pretty good; one 40yo "Kalpub" engine making track speed with that train, #58(14), including two "dead in tows" (DIT):

Appearing today in The Times is an article describing the disruption affecting the Port Of Baltimore arising from the Key Bridge incident: Fair Use: New John Deere tractors made their way last week through the sprawling port of Brunswick, Ga., their distinctive green paint glinting in the sunshine. ...

Homage being paid to TRAINS Kalmbach Publishing Co's former address - 1027 N. 7th St Milwaukee.

From time to time, they had Photo Sections of engines numbered 1027.
