Bob - First off, you're looking at the New Castle Secondary Track, not the Delmarva Secondary Track at Route 7/Bear-Corbitt Road. The "double track" your referring to is actually NS extending Tasker Siding (from where it begins/ends at MP WO 7.5). First phase of the construction will run f...

wis bang - Yeah, I'm glad John cleared that up because I got a little bit confused. I saw that Glen Larimer (ARHS) wants to put all of the information that you've supplied (& others) on the LV Modelers' page on the ARHS's website. They're in the process of updating the website & apparently t...

Scot - I wish the ARHS would put out that SW8 dynamic brake kit again for the Proto (Walther's) SW8. I was going to buy them when they came out, but unfortunately, forgot about it. I'm just glad to know my LV connection is still running: SW900M 124 (on the Landisville RR as their 8651, ex-Delaware C...

Charlie - Yeah, I agree with you on the sights & sounds of those SW8s working the grade. CR did indeed disconnect the dynamic brake on the SW8s (& most of the GP7s & GP9s as they went through the shops over their final years of operation on CR). I saw a post somewhere, that someone while...

JhnZ33 - Yeah, I'd like to get those DVDs, plus the "Railfanning with the Bednars" series too. I didn't find out about these series until just recently. That's the one thing I like about Mike Bednar: he includes the "human side" of railroading by explaining who is on what train (...

Folks - Well, it appears that re-starting this topic has produced results. I love it! I want to share with you information I received, today (8/21/13), from Jim Kerner: Treadwell was bought by Bethlehem Corporation (not Bethlehem STEEL - it's actually two separate, unrelated corporations; they just ...

Charlie - Thanks for the "welcome" message. Yes, you would be surprised to find out what some of the current & former Class I railroad's branch & secondary lines had on them traffic-wise. What go me interested in the LV's operations on this line was the fact that the LV strung toge...

Here's my second and final part. We move up the E&N Branch to: Kepler's, Milepost 5.5 Nothing noted. Walter's Lower Mill, Milepost 6.1 Nothing noted. Coilton, Milepost 6.5 Nothing noted. Zuckerville, Milepost 7.3 Nothing noted. Newlin's, Milepost 8.3 Nothing noted. Hobson's, Milepost 8.8 Nothing...

OK. This forum hasn't seen any activity since 2009, so I thought I'd try to stir-up conversation again. After looking at Mike Bednar's “Lehigh Valley Railroad The New York Division” (Garrigues House, 1993), William T. Greenburg, Jr.'s & Robert F. Fischer's “The Lehigh Valley Railroad East of Mau...
