No doubt its the same bridge, just shorter. I hate to break it to you, but it is not shorter. I beg to differ. Original as built, still complete: http://tabeckett.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4355929" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; 25 panel swing. Current: http...

No doubt its the same bridge, just shorter.

It is still there and intact, however it was shortened. The West portion where the inner counterweight is was removed (I am guessing it was sinking..) and replaced with I beams, so it is about 30 feet shorter. All the wood trestle was replaced with I beams, and the stone blocks were encapsulated wit...

No scenes from Unstoppable were filmed on NYA. The list in that newsletter is by no means a complete list of films and TV shows that were shot on NYA property. One of the earlier films not listed was "The Sweet and Lowdown" by Woody Allen. Several scenes were shot at Fresh Pond and the ma...

My curiosity beckons, anyone know what scene in unstoppable was shot on NYA?

They were purchased with state bond money, so they could not be scrapped until said was expired, which I think was about 2 or 3 years ago. Shame, half the cars have never been used once..

Good topic guys, thanks for the help.. So if I am understanding right, Bliss controlled from just East of Pulaski Bridge (at the Begin Secondary Sign) to just East of the Triplex (Allied Extruders) siding. East of there, it goes under control of Jay? Krispy, I sent you a PM.. And for the record, her...

Thank you Krispy. Would anyone know when Cabin M was closed (I imagine before the fire) and more importantly who took over the machine there? Did what Cabin M Control, move to Jay? I imagine this would be the signals on the cut off, as well as the smash boards? Same goes for DB.. Were S cards issued...

BSH, Thanks for the info.

Emfinite, would love to see those sheets when you get a chance.

Thanks BSH, very insightful for what I need.

Was it common for Bliss to give orders?

Another question somewhat related, Was Dutch Kills and Cabin M Manned, If so until when?

Besides what is on Steves site.....

I am looking for a little more on what Bliss tower did, from the late 70s until early 90s. What sidings, signals, etc it took care of, and any other details...

Thanls

I am going to be starting my own 1/8th scale LI N22A hack in the next few weeks. Drawings are done. http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/9bfc1ba49d0959016d972f53f17727fd.jpg When that is done, I will be starting a LI RS3, using the original blue velum LIRR erecting drawing (its 7' long). http://hostthenp...

Theres a great story in wreck of the Penn Central about the classic examples of customers who get cars on long branch lines where the crew costs more to go get it, then the car brings in to the railroad. Sometimes it is just not economical to ship by rail..
