OK! Thank you for the information! I will shop around on Ebay and Amazon first. If you have any suggestions for online shopping, please let me know.

MR77100, can you give us some details on what kind of photography you're doing, what existing equipment you have (if any), what your budget is, etc.?

It also passes through a location known as Wayne Avenue Junction, and some PRR and B&O signals were still being used. Is this location sti...

Thank you for the information! Does anyone know of any more in Ohio? What about east of Greenwich?
