I must be getting senile in my old age, that wasn't even 40 years ago and I cant remember the correct number of cars. The cars started dropping off the rail about one foot past the chalk mark on the rail indicating wide gauge. If I recall the track inspector checked the track mid afternoon and disco...

I guess I dont have to worry about anybody beating my record of putting 7 cars on the ground while shoving up to the insulator plant.

What you saw is a regular occurrence. The train goes to “Kodak” and sometimes the box shop, then pushes south back to the mainline at CP373. Once it gets east of CP373 it then heads west toward CP382. Some days it will then head east on the west shore to Genesee Jct. other days it will continue to B...

October 1st, 1979.....The Ontario Midland took control of the Hojack from Webster to Hannibal and the Pennsy from Newark to Sodus Point. At the same time the Ontario Central started running from W. Victor to Shortsville. Both railroads were part of the ONTARIO LINES. Today the OMID is a stand alone ...

The west bound you saw sounds like it probably was a normal Q003. Not sure about the eastbound but CSX runs some very long trains, both freight and stack.

NS 8099, the Southern heritage unit is leading train 205. Arrived at Cass St. in Hornell around 7:00pm to meet 22K.

NS 1068, the ERIE heritage unit, led train 309 through Attica at 0910 this morning.

So what happened to the photos on this thread that had been posted ? I know I did not remove the photo that I posted of ONCT 14.

Its not a heritage unit but the NS 911, the first responders unit, was the second unit of two on 310 this morning. On Attica hill at 0910.

NS 5642, the Training First Responders unit was in NJ yesterday and that fits the description of what you saw.

NS 8098, the Conrail heritage unit led 23K across the bridge at Letchworth about 7:10 pm this evening.

ONCT 14 after it received a fairly standard Ontario Lines paint job, 1982.

I thought LA&L donated an RS1 to a local museum, that doesnt seem like a bad preservation record to me.

For those two guys walking in freezing weather to find a train was a fairly common occurance. I know on more than one occasion they walked from Barnards to Charlotte in snow and freezing temperatures looking for the NYC first belt only to find out it was already long gone. Its hard to understand why...
