You, and everyone else, Ben.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Yes. From your location, east.
Are their engines stored outside, or under cover?
Both. Kept in the enginehouse in Greenwich whenever possible, though they will often leave a locomotive near where they finish switching work at the end of the day in the warmer months. With frost coming, they'll probably be making the trip back to Greenwich to avoid storage outdoors.
When is the best time to catch a train?
This is a question that has pondered railfans for generations. Some say they have a regular schedule, and have actually claimed sightings. Others dispute the existence of the Batten Kill, and claim it is only legend.
In short, while they try to have regular work days, operation of said railroad depends on many factors:
- Working locomotive
- Has interchange been delivered to the junction at Eagle Bridge?
- Are customers ready to release cars?
- Is the crew available, or are they working on a more pressing project?
Ben, I strongly suggest you join the BKRR Yahoo group. Read some of the posts on that list, you'll start to get a feel for how the operations work. Then I would ask your specific questions. You realize they only run on weekdays, right?
