An engineer I spoke to speculated they might have had a nasty slack run-in contribute to the wreck, the line has a roller-coaster profile, the trains are being run long and not always adequately powered. They have problems just getting up the first couple miles of the branch sometimes, there is a fa...

Link's engine is actually next to a short section of former West Shore that connects to some industral sidings - it may go over around to a piece of O&W, have to look at some maps. Erie never made it to Utica. Engine pictured is definately a CP/Canadian design engine, very very few US engines ha...

There's another one along the LV freight main just north of where it crossed Route 13, visible. Another plate girder. Crosses a creek, you can see it from Route 224 or whichever it is - the same one the Odessa bridge crosses. Route 13 was removed and the road changed so much it took a couple trips b...

Anyone know who's this is? I have a cruddy photo I could post, but it's a wood caboose, not the typical 34' NYC car that there is at least half a dozen of between Rochester and Albany - it's longer, the cupola is taller, but it's still a wood car with regular sheathing. Maybe 45' or 50' long, it's l...

He's asking $1500. No bed/body left, not sure what it was. Last run in Camden NY at a mine served by NYC/PC/CR though. This truck was dark green I think until 1960, then painted orange - there is a stencil indicating it was painted in '60 on the firewall. No idea who put the V8 in it - ths came orig...

In New York of all places. My buddy has this old '54 or '55 First Series Chevy 2-ton truck with no cargo body on it. He got it for the '57 motor in it. The body is not too bad. I happened to notice that where the blue-grey paint is coming off, there were some decals on the doors. So I looked at them...

Don't forget the original Delaware Otsego line ran on the very west end in Oneonta in the mid-60's. The ROW is intact and hikable below Oneonta, through Stamford I think all the way to current DURR ops it's been made into a trail. Seems like from years ago when I drove along the two lines, it's pret...

Currently this car is gutted and sits just out of town on the main track. While I think it would move, time has not been kind to it. There are at least two CNJ coaches and one other unknown passenger car - even with the leaves not out I would have needed a set of brush clippers to get in to determin...

Just wondered if anyone has tried to operate this line as a tourist route in the last 20-30 years between Kingston and Phoenicia (the eastern/southern end of the line)? I vaguely remember some mentions of this part of the line, but I can't remember where or what specifically was said. Appears the mo...

Anyone have dispositon info for Conneticut Valley 154, a 6-axle heavyweight diner? Shows a 1987 repack on the friction bearings. Found it and some other cars (markings not easily visible) sitting derelict on a track in southeastern NY state. Curious who owned them and why they're here. Other cars mi...
