Isn’t the Cape May Branch under CMSL and not Winchester and Western? You’re thinking of the line from Winslow thru Tuckahoe to Cape May, which pre PRSL was the ACRR (RDG) line to Cape May. The line referred to here is a remaining segment of the pre PRSL WJ&S (PRR) line to Cape May, which was ab...

As described in the article a bit more convoluted than that. Philadelphia DA declined to prosecute the case. Victims’ attorneys filed a criminal complaint resulting in a judge ordering criminal charge. That charge (not a lawyer so can’t explain legal underpinning of this process- just going from the...

Train runs daily (usually in evening as you noted- daylight action very rare) from Millville to Pavonia yard (Camden) and return. CSAO symbol I believe is MI-61. Line sees more action north of Woodbury where junction with Penns Grove secondary is. Daily trains from Penns Grove/ Paulsboro are daytime...

The original intent was to have Tracks 1-4 lead into a third East River tube if it became necessary. Somewhere in Chris Baer's chronology on the PRRT&HS website is a memo from around 1937 reporting that a third tube will not be necessary after all; I think Track 1 has the beginning of a slight ...

Fire occurred early December 1946 (coincidentally a few days later the Matawan trestle on the NY & LB caught fire). Only 300 ft of the trestle actually was destroyed, but nonetheless was impassable. Part of the west end was used as a fishing pier until it too burned in the 1960’s. A portion of t...

And if you take up KenW2KB’s suggestion recommend you go next weekend 7/17-18. Was there today and crew informed me steam power #60 is scheduled to be used next weekend.

The Market Frankfort line has tunneled under the Schuykill since the early 1950’s. That’s when the subway portion under Market west of the river to the current 46th St portal was constructed. Originally the line’s tunnel portal was just east of the river and it crossed on a bridge (as did the subway...

How many of those busses does NJT run a day from Toms River? Over 30 effective with the upcoming 6/26/21 schedule. A few trips make stop at Brick Twp park & ride and return to GS Parkway to continue trip. There are also a few trips (northbound in AM, southbound in PM) which operate “locally” be...

I can’t locate nor recall now where I had read it, but from what I remember the construction of that line experienced a very harsh winter. From what I recall, Barnegat Bay had frozen over and construction crews had to chop through the ice to set pilings for the trestle. Whether that was winter of 18...

since the train would have to cross the Delaware River And the Delair Bridge had not yet been built in 1881, so the Trenton/Monmouth Jct route sounds more likely. (Coincidentally I am currently reading “The Unexpected President” - a biography of Chester Arthur who became president upon Garfield’s d...

Yes it is the weight of the rail per yard of length.
