Does anyone know if the 6211 and/or the Freight House/Store are open during the winter months? The website only shows hours April-October

1748 may be used in situations where high capacity warrants its use, but there are no plans for any rehabilitation of the car. The TTX flat is sitting in Rockland Yard. It is a shame that 1748 has just sat in Rockland for so long with not much if any use. I know their are other more important prior...

What are the circumstances under which the NTSB will investigate an incident? Is it injury, loss of life, an unknown cause that could be an issue in the future...? I'm assuming the Fitchburg incident is just an internal MBCR investigation and we'll never hear anything official, just what those &quo...

Does anyone have ideas to what type of HEP units the GP40 engines, MP36's and all types F40 as well use? Also are the HEP and Comm jumper cables between cars similar and standards to most 480v commuter rail systems? For example, could you couple a Amtrak Amfleet, MBTA MBB, NJT Comet etc. and connect...

This picture is provided via MassDOT's Twitter feed. It shows Blue Line 0616 in the new Broadway Training Center. Note the rollsign cases (exterior AND interior) display "TRAINING CENTER". Is it right to assume this is the first rollsign produced since the late 90's for T equipment? Who w...

Serious question are you delusional? Are you contending when you stated braking a train on another line, when you waxed about snow and ice build up on coaches brakes, then talking of wheel slide not slip is not total speculation? You believe what you typed isn't speculation? For real? 99.9 percent ...

Just curious, but with the ME 488 and 489 in service in Rockland, how does the Whippany Railway Museum run their Santa Trains (with the Comets) without HEP?

You do it under cover of darkness most likely. This stuff didnt just magically dissapear, and im sure is good reason why the police presence is frequent there now. And trust me nothing was removed from those engines legally. Same with the ALP44s in port morris. NJT has not officially retired any of...

Any status of what is up with the 51, 59, 66. I am surprised MPI hasn't requested them back if the lease has not been extended. If it has been, surprised the MBTA is paying $$ for units that are sitting dead collecting dust. With the recent issues with the 1009, 1014 and OOS 1132, It is interesting ...

Just curious, but I was looking on RailroadPhotoArchives.net and found some photos of this group of units from this November. One thing I am curious about. Has NJT been removing the horns, number boards etc, or have "other" people been removing them. This does not seem to be the case with...
