Jim (and GBN): Good thought about the NY Times Paywall - my device had problems loading some of the photos that were posted with the article. I sometimes try to retain items such as this in my History - trouble is that each time that I may view this it counts up towards any free articles by month - ...

Everyone: MNCR decided on the Penn Central FL9 NYS blue/yellow heritage color scheme... No surprise here... Compare #217 with FL9 units 5049 and 5020 in the photo in my last previous post above... Being wraps the yellow will not fade into the off-white that some FL9s experienced... PC and Conrail's ...

Everyone: The 2024 Philadelphia Flower Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center begins on Friday March 1 with the PHS Members and Invited Guests-only Preview between 12 Noon and 3 PM. There is a Flower Show Preview Party at PCC between 6 and 9 PM for (WELL-Heeled) VIPs and Patrons... For SEPTA RRD...

Ryan - SEPTA as far as I know has posted no indication of offering any discounted 2024 Flower Show admission tickets on their website...On that thought my hunch is that SEPTA has an agreement of some type with PHS that they can not openly advertise that they offer Flower Show admission tickets that ...

Besides it will be 20 years old come August - its' age is showing. Stated on a forum which will mark it's 20th anniversary in two weeks... :P JW - For the record that was March 11-12, 2004 for anyone reading this topic that may be unaware...

TD - This one should be titled "SLAMazon :wink: " After watching this video I think that the Amazon van driver does not actually realize how lucky he was... He mentioned being deaf in one of his ears and not hearing the train bearing down on his vehicle... For that reason I am now thinking...

TD (and EO): I was responding to RW's post above mine without quoting anything about his idea to construct a new rail tunnel route through Washington, DC to circumvent or supplement the First Street Tunnel... I brought up the "$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" rep...

GS - July 2026 is still two years and five months away - Plenty of time for NJT Rail services to be planned... In fairness Monmouth Park service affects only the North Jersey Coast Line... The 2026 World Cup matches and finals will potentially affect the entire NJT Rail system - anyone traveling to ...

Ryan - I agree with you with your group ride observation making it hard for riders that only seek to make a single round trip to Center City on a given day that travel in groups of two or more... Jefferson Station - specifically the A Section closest to the Pennsylvania Convention Center - is a VERY...

JS and DM: I remember the three bridges of the "Root Street Wye" over the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-94) If I am correct the two curved viaduct sections were used at some point to turn locomotives being serviced at the nearby former Rock Island "Rocket House" shop facilities - and we...

Mike: After being able to view video on YouTube - the news reports along with a S5 head-end view ride - https://youtube.com/watch?v=XOicBcw48IU (Posted by "Retired Railfan" NRK-30th St - 3/15/2021) I agree with your thoughts about where this misroute occurred - I believe the train was stop...

JS: This topic title should be introduced by Bill Mahre during the NEW RULES segment on his weekly HBO show... BM could read the information about the three bridges along with offering some of his comedic wit... :wink: These new rules for opening the three bridges for water traffic are good for MNCR...

Ryan - Good observation that I somehow overlooked...I was adding the Flower Show hours after noticing that they have been made simpler and easier to remember in comparison to past PFS shows at PCC... The only variation is the 6 PM closing time on the final PFS day-Sunday March 10... This register an...

Ryan - Interesting Key update with the new option to pay for two to five riders with one Key card... That should help some occasional passengers by not requiring each one to possess a Key card... As example as long as there are enough Travel Wallet funds available to pay the required fares there sho...
