Thanks, rb.

That's some serious lens you must be using to get those shots!!!

There's another thread about fly ash going to Blissville Yard track 4. Sills Rd (Brookhaven Rail Terminal) is ever changing, but they are a good steady interchange. Bentonite cars were going there for a while but have tapered off (?). Sills Rd is also taking a lot of cement recently, and tons of Flo...

Fly Ash is going somewhere on the lower Montauk... Not potash , :-) . One thing it's used for is in water filtration processes, but it's used in a lot of other stuff too. It would be in covered hoppers that are similar to concrete hoppers, but equipped with the piping for pressure discharge. If anyo...

The source is good, but I just don't have any details.
...Or else some one just is trying to coerce me into buying HO scale potash cars...

It's come up that there is a new NYA customer in Blissville taking Potash.

Does anyone know who it is and where they are taking loads?

Dave

Some parts of the Main Line have an 80mph (technically 79mph) speed limit "Technically", it's 80. TTSI have always been 80. You can go 80 without an ASC brake application. You can go 81, even, because that's how you find out you've drifted up over 80. 81 is an ideal time to slow down a sk...

It can be done but it's a very slow and onerous operation. Only on the overnights and only with some extra hands on deck. An "Absolute Block" must be established. if it's a "one north - one south, etc" operation there is (or used to be when I was there) an employee carrying a &qu...

They kept budget over runs down by eliminating a station, as I recall. Yes they did. The shell of the station was built and the signaling supports a dwell time there, but they sold off the property where the station entrance was supposed to be and it's basically cut off. worked out OK unless you we...

Just hire on to the LIRR and fix all of the problems, why don't you?
