Not a problem. It sounds great. I just wish it wasn't an 11 hour round trip to try and squeeze in. I hope the weather turns out great for your trip!

Sounds like fun. I just wish I had more advance notice to fit it into my schedule.

I don't know, but a friend witnessed CP doing ballast clean-up with some sort of track machine about 2 weeks ago in Cohoes.

Thanks! I reached out to the A&A and received some more pictures. I built an HO scale car of it this summer and detailed it on my blog: https://dandhcoloniemain.blogspot.com/2020/08/scratchbuilding-a-mow-car-part-1-frame.html https://dandhcoloniemain.blogspot.com/2020/08/scratchbuilding-a-mow-ca...

Re: Very Early 2020 Fall Train Show List For Upstate NY

Two other factors to consider: 1.) Just because a show might be permitted doesn't mean that people will attend. The age range of many modelers would put them in the "high-risk category. 2.) Should a show be cancelled, the organization putting it on would likely take a financial hit (and not jus...

Thanks for the update.

Here are some pictures from a "rare mileage" trip I rode there in 2014:

Any updates on the CACV for 2020? Also, was the switch to N.S. pulled out, isolating the CACV? If so, when did that happen? I know a couple of years ago they received 2 engines. Thanks.

Is that the station at the end of Lackawanna Avenue in Mt. Morris? Or something in Groveland itself near where the cut-off is?

That sounds pretty cool, and worth a drive from Upstate NY to visit once it is finished! Good luck

Steam tourist train in Cooperstown's "Woodland Museum"?

I occasionally search EBay for train slides related to the C&CV railroad in Cooperstown, NY. In the process, I usually run across postcards for sale showing the "Leatherstocking Line" steam train which ran in the 1960s-1970s at the Woodland Museum. The steam engine is a small Porter (0...

If the listing is correct (and it seems suspicious, calling the cab a "conductor's wheel house" then the cab for one of the engines (#4?) is up for sale on EBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-SIZE-Alco-S1-Locomotive-Conductors-Wheel-House-Bath-Hammondsport-4-Train/362978122399?hash=item548...
