The problem in Mahwah then and now, is the NIMBYs of Mahwah not wanting to rezone the old Ford Plant property so it can be better utilized. I personally was involved in trying to get rezoning done at a time when the rest of International Crossroads {still empty} could have been developed and provide...

Dump the complimentary meal, let passengers 'make their own beds' and get the cost down to under $100/night accomodation fee.

I still think it is a disgrace that they can disrupt not only the City of New York but the whole area for this nonsense. The convention should have been scheduled for a location where it would not have caused such havoc. Can't think of anything that would get me anywhere near New York City this com...

Far as I know, the "Pee Vine" ran only in Tennesee. However, the Clinchfield did run N/S through McDowell Cty NC right through Marion (crossing the Southern there) Some web sites: http://www.wiringfordcc.com/clinch.htm http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=35.68389&lon=-82.00944 If you c...

In addition to finding any pics N of Mt. View, I have a question on the operation/s to and at Sterling Forest on Greenwood Lake. Any maps I have found only show a dead end line and a spur at that terminus. How or where did they turn the steam locos?
