RE: A station on the cutoff near Terwood rd, and Old York rd....
The cutoff does not cross Terwood rd.. However, the New Hope / Ivyland RR does. Its an overpass near the schools. May have been a station near there at one time?...

The train was the Q-409.. Waycross, Ga.----Selkirk, NY. The engines were not derailed (as is obvious in link 2 of the above vids). The yellow flat car (a few cars behind the power) seems to be derailed, as evident from dust cloud its kicking up. A very light weight car (empty), easily derailed by de...

Hey guys, Here are the links to the actual surv-cam footage taken at the trucking Co. Link-1= the collision. Watch for the flash from explosion at 5:31. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKyuaGbAYFY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Link-2= angle from 2nd cam. Notice the camera s...

25 hz, I see by your handle you must have an understanding of RR electrical x-mission.. (but that subject is for a different topic). About the working of the Woodbourne Yard: Q-770 is a Mon-fri, job that usually works Nabisco and the BCIP (bucks co industrial park) from Woodbourne. Q-764 is the week...

Jim Boylan You are correct about the grades.. The original ROW was double track. New ROW with lesser, natural grade was obtained. That is why the tracks split apart from each other just west of Bridgetown Pike (in Northampton twp), and come back together just east of the overpass that spans the CSX/...

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have (or know where to obtain) a diagram of the Roanoke, Va. Rail Yard ?

I've been searcing (on and off) for the past few weeks. Seems to be a rather 'elusive' subject..

Thanks in advance for any help.....

Jim.

JFM,

Here are the maps.




Hope these help..

I beleive the cut-off crosses ridge pike right near the turnpike just before it crosses the schukill river.
I have topographic maps of the area that show the RR and surface roads as they were in 1898. If time permits,I will scan and post the maps (or at least post links to them).

Hi guys, First off I would like to appolgize to Mr Gallaway as I took those comments out of context.. I have to learn to stay out of forums after a bad day. Being a pilot, I look at things with a different mind set. I didnt realize there were so many scenarios possable in a move like this.. I thank ...

Sorry for asking this question.. It seems to have sparked abit of a debate. I was happy with the plausable explaination offered at the top, but didnt expect what followed. I simply asked the question so I could pass on an answer to someone who had seen the vid and asked me about it. I thank you guys...

The train was stopped on the curve because of some blasting being done up ahead. I dont know how many cars they had on, but it was quite a long train with 4 units on the head end along with the two helpers.
