Speaking of "The Oneida Railway Company -- from Horsecars to Interurbans", anybody know where I can order it from? Can't seem to find it anywhere online.

Thanks,

Two more shots of the junction - you can use the two highlighted streets as reference points.

A lot has changed since then - even the Mohawk! (scroll down to see current map)

Excellent - thanks for the assist, guys. I was thinking the junction would be buried under route 5S. Must have been a very interesting place back in the day!

Hi All: Can anybody direct me to a map that would help me find the exact location of the junction between the West Shore & where the New York State Railways third rail line split off at Mohawk? I'm planning a trip to trace the former West Shore up that way and I am particularly interested in see...

Thanks to all for the assist. I thought it might well be RS&E but couldn't find a good map to confirm. The SPV railroad atlas shows the line running further south of the NYC & West Shore in that area. I'm taking it that the atlas is wrong then?

Hi All: In tracing the former West Shore in this area, I came across a topo map showing a former (railroad?) overpass going over the NYC mainline just north of Pumphouse Road in Peru (between Memphis and Jordan). My 1902 topo doesn't show anything there - no sign of an interurban or anything, and th...

Hi All: I've been able to get pics of the following RS&E depots over the years: Clyde Fairport Jordan Lyons Port Byron Port Gibson Stop 22 Stop 80 Weedsport Two questions: 1. Are there any currently standing RS&E depots/shelters that I'm missing and if so, where? 2. Am I right in calling all...

Hi All: At http://www.perintonhistoricalsociety.org/index.php/about/historic-tours/erie-canal-bike-tour.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, they make mention of Stop 6 being a "switch tower". Anybody know where this stood originally? Never heard of this one befor...

Hi All: Camped out at the Watkins Glen/Corning KOA this past weekend and saw one northbound NS freight and heard a southbound go through overnight. 2 questions: 1. What does NS use the line for - what trains, what frequency etc? 2. I saw a bunch of autoracks etc at the yard north of CP Glass in Corn...

Wow - what an awesome amount of info you shared here, David. Thank you SO much for sharing all this with us. I've attached a Google Map screen shot - can you kindly let me know if this is the siding going to Heresite/General Coatings? As I said, I grew up in Iselin and would have driven past that lo...

Wait a second - SN Tower??? Never heard of it - where was it at, and I'm assuming it was a Reading tower??? Can anybody please fill me in a bit more - location, what kind of structure, when was it closed, when did the Reading stop running into Camp Kilmer, etc? Speaking of Camp Kilmer, where did the...

Hi All: Will be in Georgia next month and would love to catch some Great Walton Railroad/Hartwell Railroad action. Can anybody tell me where my best bet would be - where do they keep their locomotives, best days/times to catch them, etc etc? I know they have at least 3-4 different lines now - I can ...

Hi All: Just in case you're not aware of it already, my friend Dan has posted some excellent Tower photos over at http://northamericaninterlockings.com/indiana_10.html. He's included shots of some of the towers on this line, like King, Wade, Brow, Vine, Beech Grove, Belt Crossing, IJ, KD, Brant, Gle...
