Bouncing around Youtube, watched a couple neat programs: The Railway. Keeping Britain on Track Good stuff 2 seasons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJtnfv1N80I" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The Tube. London Underground. 3 seasons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPMMmZDcGUg...

If you need a place to stay, try the Red Caboose Motel, 312 Paradise Ln, Ronks, PA. Next door is the Model Railroad Museum, and Strasburg RR runs right by.

Didn't see it mentioned here, but Baltimore Streetcar Museum has PCC 2168 running the course. They also have PCC 2187 converted to a work car for line maintenance. They let me drive 2168, really neat!

Back in the 70s they were still running freight around Norfolk Naval Station. Tracks highly marked. Block a train, get your base parking permit pulled, 1 day per minute.

Caught by car cam. Gotta like the driver, like I've seen it before, I'm outta here!

Found anothr youtube that explained it in some depth. I'm guessing that since the "neutral" is insulated, there would be potential on that as well, similar to USN ships.

Started watching some video on youtube, about the Underground. Noticed a 4th rail, used as a ground, for the power. Any ideas why, since we widely use the running rails as the ground?

There was a lot of freight service in suburban Philly. A couple books:

Trolleys of Montgomery County, PA, by Harry Foesig and Harold Cox.

Montgomery County Trolleys, by Mike Szilagyi, Images of America books.

But if you jump a subway turnstile carrying a loaded gun and smoking a joint, you just might need to get your ass kicked."

They're going to have extend the Metro to Caroline County so all the new employees making $15.00 an hour can commute in. They can't afford to live any closer.

The old GG-1 had an oil fired steam generator. Seems funny with all that electricity to use oil to heat water, but it's more efficient.

Didn't old PRR signals have a separate aspect that lit whenever the 3 horizontal lights came on? When did those go away?

Always curious why there is not a stop on the MSEL between 15th St and 30th St. Something to do with the wasteland that was there when the Chinese wall was in operation? I used to work at 22nd at Arch. Took the Reading in from Hatboro, walked to City Hall and took a SS car to 22nd St, then walked no...

Not sure where this is, somewheres outside Panama City....

Saw this in the morning fishwrap, was wondering why service on Chestnut Hill West is delayed? Back ups into North Broad?
