Dave did not compensate me in any way to provide this information... :wink: Fitz Books 433 Ellicott St Buffalo, NY 14203 https://www.fitzbooks.net/ Also, apparently they have waffles. :-D They close at 6PM on weekdays (which includes May 9) so coming over from Rochester after work might be a stretch.

Congratulations! Bring on the book tour! Seriously, you might consider attending a few train shows in the area to promote the book. The town in which I live has an annual "local authors day" with no charge to authors. There's probably something like that out Buffalo way also. I have a smal...

It's the only "touristy" thing I had time for while on a brief business trip to LV, other than company outings. I rode in the 5PM hour, if I recall correctly. It was not busy on the way north and quite a bit more crowded on the way back. It does go right past The Sphere which is a bit of a...

Thanks, Larry!

I wonder if Elmora Avenue lasted all the way through the end of the Scoot?

Not sure whether to ask this here or in New Jersey Railfan, but trying here first. When the Bayonne to Cranford Shuttle, also known as the "Scoot," was implemented as part of the Aldene Plan, were there any station stops between Cranford and Elizabeth? (Or Elizabeth and Cranford...) The Ju...

I liked Merging Lines, and its companion book Main Lines, so much after reading copies from the local library that I sought out and purchased my own copies.

Quoting and referencing from the "Rule 93" article in the June 1951 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman (I now keep it handy, or at least handier than before)... there's a small passenger shelter at Warners in one of the photographs. Hardly a "station," it looks more like the size ...

Reviving this topic for one more data point: The January 1959 issue of the Official Guide of the Railways still shows the Sound Shore Branch with passenger service. This was all Carteret had for at least eight years, since by 1951 the CNJ's shore trains weren't stopping at "West Carteret" ...

Was really hoping to make it this year, but Other Circumstances Intervened... Have fun, take pictures!

Guessing this forum is the best match to post this "from another network"... The Monticello Railway Museum has made the first 34 Issues of the Illinois Central Historical Society's Green Diamond magazine available as text-searchable PDFs on our website. https://www.mrym.org/green-diamond-...

The locomotive (an "entry level" Bachmann 2-8-0 I believe, based at least somewhat on a Reading Railroad prototype if I recall correctly) looks broken. I would be careful about expecting more than a static display. The bid when I checked looked like I would pay for it without knowing the l...

Nice! Paint job faithful to the original Erie livery...

Did anyone besides me flash back to a Merrill Lynch commercial?

Henry really was bricked into the tunnel in an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine... in case there's anyone here who didn't fit into that demographic. And the story-- called "Come Out Henry!" in the States, is based on one of the original stories by the Reverend Audry, creator of the Railwa...

What's the over/under on the date that "CPKC" reverts back to CP...?
