Saw the second longest train I ever saw on the former PRSL. 133 cars headed from Pennsville to Camden today.

Saw the second longest train I ever saw on the former PRSL. 133 cars headed from Pennsville to Camden today.
I believe the bottom picture is at Lambertville station just before the PRR stopped passenger service.
To the person who claims to work for the C&D, what is your position? And if you are an employee, you're in violation NORAC rule L-2. And you're subject to discipline. And just to remind everyone, C&D management frequents both Facebook and Railroad.net and that is why no trespassing signs ar...
Whatever happened to the New Haven's "Center To Center All Weather Service" Or the DL&W "Your Trip Is Weatherproof" Whatever happened to the "esprit" that was shown on the New Haven when after Cat 3 Carol came a callin' at Stonington Harbor August 31, 1954, the New...
Exactly. Everybody that's getting all excited about these planning grants needs to realize this is simply a study on how many billions need to be spent to have the service requested. It is a first step, but most of them wind up gathering dust on a shelf waiting for appropriation grants that never co...
Looks like the restoration of service to Scranton just got a green light from the FRA https://www.casey.senate.gov/news/releases/casey-cartwright-announce-key-step-in-restoring-scranton-to-new-york-rail-service The green light is to spend study money to see where the route would fall on the list of...
All right, enough "off topic" and let's address what we gather here to discuss. Any NY-Scranton service will first need a completed Gateway, which finally looks like "it's gonna happen" and then laying 28 miles of new trackage over a pre-existing right of way, and rebuilding an ...
GBN has the right of it. The next renewal of the act should include a reimbursement rate to the Class I and II lines equal to the average of moving the most time sensitive freight shipment along the route. Further, Amtrak should pay double the rate for any of its trains blocking a route. It’s been ...
SEPTA has both Arrow I and Arrow IIs as cab cars. Septa's AEM7's were rated at 125mph but never ran that in revenue service. The ALP44s were as well, and likely the ALP46s (though only allowed 100). In the summer of 1976 the New Hope Railroad actually ran a commuter train to Warminster in the morni...
In the summer of 1976 the New Hope Railroad actually ran a commuter train to Warminster in the morning and afternoon to connect with Septa. The train to Warminster in the morning and the one to New Hope in the afternoon would work the freight so it was actually a mixed train. I rode it one day . On ...
When was the last time a terrorist group hijacked an intercity Amtrak passenger train and threatened to kill everyone? Apparently 2018 https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/white-supremacist-caught-hijacking-an-amtrak-pleads-guilty-21448411 Actually the incident took place in 2017. Reminds me of a b...
You know the mutt that smells me and my bag just before I get on the train seem to be doing a good job at protecting me very passive and takes no time away from me. That same pup walking up and down random trains will also passively protect me and not inconvenience me. And onto the knives, what is ...

I've given you commercial operations who manage to move large crowds with a decent thru-put. Nobody's waiting hours or even minutes in most cases. Given the option, I'd rather see long distance rail terminated at the Fumbuck, MO's of the world who can't locally fund and provide the security. As for...
