10,000 dollars for a locomotive, especially as one as nice as 903, is a crazy good deal. They must not be in running condition or something Selling of an asset by a 501(c)(3) non-profit to a for-profit company at less than fair market value would place the non-profit qualification continued status ...

Plenty of room for a layover, RVL/CNJ is the upper railroad line. See Google Maps. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6569842 ... ?entry=ttu

Portions of the CNJ were severed when the I-78 bridge was built in the late 80s (opened late 1989). Which is a major reason why the advocacy groups suggest going to I-78 Exit 7 since the line is severed west of there and would require a much larger sum of money to build and not convenient to any la...

The local county area transportation advocacy groups support extending Raritan Valley Line service west to the existing Exit 7 on I-78. The former CNJ line is there and intact from High Bridge to reach it. Extending west of there would not make sense as the line is not intact, there is no convenient...

Partly I believe it's because this country is really spectacular once you get away from the strip malls and industrial parks. That beauty cannot be experienced at 35K ft, nor from the interstate clutching the steering wheel. There is something unique and wonderful about the experience of riding a t...

A Reading coach? Reminds of the NH&I. SMS purchased the CNJ round roof coaches that were at the GMRC. They also parted out the two CNJ round roof cars that the BR&W had 1318 and 1324. Yes. The Reading controlled the CNJ and when the CNJ round roof coaches were ordered by the CNJ they were b...

Many times over the years it has been repeated here that Hoboken is overcrowded. Prior to MidTown Direct Hoboken handled many more trains. Prior to Secaucus Junction it handled many more passengers from the Main, Bergen, Pascack Valley and Port Jervis trains. How is it overcrowded now? That and thi...

Saw a news report today that a preliminary investigation indicated that a wiring error resulted in a trailing point switch being in the wrong position.

Nothing but some alarmist rubbish from a climate activist. Summer temps and payload restrictions are really only an issue at places like Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Tucson and Phoenix. And that's nothing new. It's been an issue for the 35 years I've been in commercial aviation. Especially claiming a pr...

And now as I drive across Niagara county in the area of Lockport and Gasport all the high tension power lines that were installed 40 years ago from the plant - are those be utilized now? Mark Yes. The generating station capacity was 675 MegaWatts and the completed data center being built at the sta...

don't see how legally MTA and NJT could combine operations though. doesn't surprise me that they would much rather prefer to keep things separate. MTA and NJT can enter into a contract to combine operations, as was done for the Port Jervis line. The NJ Statute expressly provides that NJT can operat...

Hmmm… that part in the federal laws you posted has me curious. Could C&D hire one of those jewish security firms to keep people off the tracks and guard crossings and whatnot? From what I can tell such firms have a high authority in town, and are obeyed and respected more than local PD. Conside...
