Thanks for the reply but my friend specifically stated Kane, in McKean County. I'd found a logging railroad that served Kane but was abandoned over two decades prior to the date(s) provided.

Folks, A friend sent me an inquiry requesting information on a "Possum Railroad" that ran near Kane, PA in the 1918-1920 time frame. When I suggested that the name might be a nickname, he stated that a relative had worked as a car repairman for the line and that it was listed as Possum Rai...

Is anyone aware of any trolley lines that used telegraph (Not telephone) apparatus for the dispatching of cars?

This past Friday (Nov. 1, 2013) the Southern Maryland newspapers that cover Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's Counties, that portion of Maryland southeast of Washington, DC, published an article titled "How Southern Maryland went off the rails". I did contribute some information and there's ...

Railvet, I was visiting my brother yesterday who has been an Amelia County resident for over 20 years. I asked about the location so we paid a visit. The tracks are empty of any railcars and my brother stated that the locomotive has been gone for at least 2 or 3 years. It seems that the overpowering...

I don't generally check in to this portion of Railroad.Net and after reading this news, I'm sorry I did. Like many of you I never met Paul but have had many pleasant exchanges with him both here and on Facebook. Even over electronic media Paul came across as a genuinely nice guy. While the frequency...

cloudship-I believe that 2 foot gauge is too large to qualify as a "model" train. There are a couple of 2 ft. gauge railroads on the outskirts of St. Marys, PA using mining equipment from the region. See: http://www.bnwrr.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-wjaCkMQeU As far as collecting ...

I think the date of the photo may be correct. These appear to be Lionel OO scale trains that were produced briefly prior to World War II.

Cactus Jack-I found a brief (6 paragraphs) writeup on the Kinzua & Tiona in the book "Sawmills Among The Derricks" by Thomas T. Taber, III, book number 7 in the series Logging Railroad Era of Lumbering in Pennsylvania. The write up appears on page 742 and appears under the heading &quo...

Yes, it seems to have picked up overnight, I found about a dozen myself.

They're everywhere! While my forums haven't been hit too badly, the website that I moderate for our local amateur radio club has been constantly bombarded for about 2 weeks now and I'm sometimes deleting 40 to 50 messages a day with no end in sight!

I'd appreciate seeing them as well.

I've wondered as well, it's been over 6 months now. I was even planning on incurring the wrath of my bride and making a donation to hasten the return of the site but never received any feedback as to where my money was to go.
