The switches I have are mostly inherited from my father, who had them given to him in the late 1980s. Several of the switches are Atlas, they all work, but the switch that has the power loss on I do not known the brand. Several of the other switches I have are not Atlas and they are working fine as ...

I think it is good planning to reopen the passage between 30th Street Station and the Elevated/trolley system, would have been nice if it had been there when I commuted through there everyday. I have been monitoring this massive proposed renovation of the 30th street area and rail yards, I don't thi...

I decided recently to start an HO scale layout (my background is in Lionel O Scale) and I have two loops with a handful of switches. Two of the switches I have on the inner loop seem to have a power loss problem, I have removed and tried new track connectors and replaced the adjoining track, but I c...

I drove through Winslow within the last few days, has there been a recent streak of vandalism there? It looked like a lot of windows in the old passenger cars there have been busted or busted out, I don't remember things being that bad the last I went through there. Is there hope for those old cars ...

I think it is possible and I believe it could work, but there are at least three problems: the extraordinary cost of rehabbing the Cape May Branch, ConRail between Winslow and Tuckahoe, and the lack of interest of NJDOT, NJT, and the state of New Jersey in doing anything to expand or improve any rai...
