Hey! I'm a bit confused about how long the MTA have been using the MNCR and MNCX reporting marks on their equipment. Do they actually pre-date Metro-North (1983)? If not, then what reporting marks did the "M-Central" equipment bear during Conrail's operation of the Metropolitan Region? Sim...

Hey, It's probably worth noting that Google's most recent aerial photography of Poughkeepsie is from September 19th (the day before) and shows these same folks from above! Two of the three work trucks are sitting on track 5 as well. I noticed them a while ago and wondered what was up, but now I know...

Hi! I was hoping somebody might know some history about this old pedestrian bridge: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.885496,-73.9211692,59m/data=!3m1!1e3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; In case the link doesn't work or isn't clear, it's located south of Riverdale Station righ...

Is anyone familiar with that date? :-) I'm aware that the last run occurred in 1982 and the tracks were torn up in 1983, but I'm unsure of the exact dates of those events. I've seen a photo of track removal labelled March 7th, 1984, but I know that must not be correct since by 1984 the tracks were g...

I lived in the Fishkill area in 1983-84 and remember this spur still being in place at that time. It did serve the Technology Park which was the IBM East Fishkill plant at that time. I can't remember if there was active grade crossing protection at Rt 52, believe it may have just been crossbucks . ...

Hey! I was browsing the (current) Metro North Beacon Line on Google and I came across a small branch midway between Brinckerhoff, NY and Hopewell Junction, just south of the power substation: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d740!2d-73.8351782!3d41.5659798!2m1!1e3&fid=7" ...

In addition to that bridge, there is also a tunnel portal in the marina south of Main Street. It went underneath Main Street and River Streets. I've never located the eastern portal of that tunnel. Upon a cursory inspection I think I might have found your elusive tunnel portal. If you look straight...

The best info source would be a PC New Haven Region #1 ETT or PC Northeastern #1 ETT. Both employee timetables can be viewed as pdf files at http://www.canadasouthern.com/caso/home" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; PC stated passing siding lenghts by how many 50 ft cars it he...

Hello! I'm new here! Woo I almost placed this question in the New Haven section, but decided it might better suit the Penn Central category based on its area of interest. I'm searching for any information on the Maybrook Line's passing sidings, specifically from its reduction to single trackage (I b...
