I would say into the 70s there was a one stall engine house just north of Aragonii bridge. This was at the time that NH still moved a few cars along the Airline branch to Willimantic. Were there any customers between Portland and Willimantic? Colchester must had at least one customer. On my model r...
In a word no. Berkshire Scenic and Housatonic for a variety of reasons will never do things together again like they used to do in the 80s. As far as the run to Adams, the track's gone between Pittsfield to Adams. The track is gone, but did Massachusetts railbanked the ROW. At least Connecticut did...

I'd love to print out the Phoenix Mutual Building that's is in Hartford, Connecticut, the Plant City (Florida) Union Station and the visitor Platfor...

Mr. Buffy, welcome...
I wonder how much the FL-9 would be? I'd love to have it painted in the livery of 'The Cranberry'. Or I'd paint it Black, Pink and White McGuiness scheme. (had a ho scale FL9 custom painted for my ex girlfriend's daughter).

On the old C&C (NECR now) I believe.
GWI management didn't invest in growing their lines, just kept wheeling out cash they didn't have to buy new ones and hope it would drive up shareholder value. That balloon burst after the P&W acquisition where everyone knew they had stretch their pennies a little too far. My expectation is som...
What did Anocoil make and what kind of cars did the receive? I guess Lego received hopper cars of plastic pallets, I guess Westvaco received boxcars of paper. Concrete was I guess had hoppers and M-B refrigerator cars... I guess East Hartford yard was a busy place in the 1970s and early 80s...
