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.
Mr. Toolmaker, I doubt if there would be damage to any lading within containers situated Aft of the Bridge, which means most.
Those Forward, especially about the vessel's Prow, different story, the photo in this Journal article clearly depicts.
Seems like when I rode that route (honestly, one of the most scenic routes I've ever traveled) during '79. There were no issues. I took the Sleeper London Euston to Ft. William, then boarded a self propelled car (RDC, DMU; whatever). That was simply one ride using a Brit Rail Pass. Now it appears th...
Diverting away from Amtrak affairs, Mr. R36, but does your immediate ever remind me of what was standard practice on the New Haven some seventy years ago. Riding the #2XX, the Stamford Locals, as a kid, it was standard practice to leave the traps open for the entire twenty miles and the thirteen sta...
I have issues with the reporting of this $600M settlement by any of a number of media outlets - including The Times - depicting the "controlled burn" dictated by environmental agencies, implying to lay readers that such was a direct result of the derailment incident. The derailment itself ...
The Wall Street Journal reports that a $600M settlement has been reached. Fair Use: Norfolk Southern agreed to pay $600 million to settle lawsuits brought by individuals and businesses in connection with a toxic train derailment in Ohio early last year. The tentative settlement announced Tuesday sti...
I must wonder, Mr. NHV, if there is somewhere a CPKC liveried engine (it's now M-Day + 13mo), and would they assign it to train 121 on which you diligently report its consist.
