We know what the flood did to Ellicott City. How did Sykesville and *its* old B&O station (now a restaurant) make out?

Do they still bring in the carnival rides and equipment to Harrington by rail? I remember being in Dover >20 years ago and seeing a string of James E. Strates Shows flats parked alongside New Burton Road between Dover and Wyoming. When's the best time to catch rr activity related to the DE State Fai...
I'm planning on loading my car on the AutoTrain in Lorton next March and head down to FL to take in some spring training baseball games next year. How long in advance should I plan on booking? And do you guys have other AutoTrain advice? I plan to stay in the TB area since my Phillies and Orioles tr...
The PSFS building is now a Loew's Hotel, but the large neon PSFS letters are still on top (or were the last time I looked). Not anymore... They were taken down around the middle of December or so. Saw it on the news. They actually had problems taking them down and almost dropped one of the letters ...
I was always less interested in AC, DC, voltage levels, circuit breakers, etc., on the PCC than in the catenary poles (why did Pennsy use tubular poles between Philly and Wilmington and Philly to Paoli, but use girders in the rest of the electrified territory?). :-) I was always fascinated by them. ...
Still waiting for the experts / historians to weigh in. But this is an interesting topic (to me). In 1928 the Lamokin converter plant came online for Wilmington and West Chester service followed by the large Port Richmond plant in 1933, which powered the bulk of the eastern network. Safe Harbor onl...

Mr.O'Keefe, there is much discussion regarding rail travel in Cuba over at the Rail Travel Forum. I'd link it up, but hard to do so when posting from a phone (yes everyone, I did join the 21st century last July when I went overseas). I'm impressed Mr. Norman, even I don't generally access Railroad....

Why can't they at least (for now) push the line up to Glen Riddle, the next stop? It's not that far and the tracks are in good enough shape to run trains over them. There's lots of condos around the station so it will get some walk up riders, and they have to turn the train around anyway. What's th...
I subscribe to TRAINS magazine. So does one Ron Salters from Massachusetts. On the discussion on TRAINS' magazine-subscriber-only newswire regarding the recent stabbings on the Blue Water in Niles, MI, I linked the rr.net thread. Mr. Salters reported getting "Dude, I'm lost" when he clicke...
Whoa. Scary stuff. An Amtrak train is one of the last places you'd expect anyone to be stabbed or shot. Reminds me of an incident I read awhile back about a shooting onboard the "Merchants Limited" on the Shore Line in 1980. NH2060, hopefully you subscribe to TRAINS like me because on tod...
