With a nasty looking winter season, i'd say parking boardable cars not in service near an interlocking is prolly a smart idea? Jus a thought... That makes sense. Except it's going to be mostly rain. D; This next storm is supposed to be snow and sleet with a sprinkle of rain. Just the kinda storm th...

2592 was seen next to the cannabalized ex-NJT 5118. I don't know why they'd be together, but I've got a sinking feeling about it might be the last we see of either cars.

Oh. I see what you mean. But what about after all that is done?

Hey everyone, hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving! Yesterday, I went to the West Chester railroad. On my way home I stopped by Whitford station to see the old P&T ROW. There was a nice empty space just above the station where I could step onto the ROW. I didn't go that far, being that it was ge...

6325's set, consisting of 2302 and 2410 at the head and tail end respectively, was taken out of service and hauled to the shop at Wayne Junction with SPAX 52 as the rescue engine. I can't say where it failed, except anywhere on the West Trenton line. Nor do I know how, although I suspect 2302 had so...

That's correct. And Ridge Line trains are always two cars. About three carlengths up, there's an orange diamond-shaped stop sign, and probably a bumper behind it, though I can never see it on my photography sessions. there's another 150 or so feet of track after the stop sign. the only bumper is a ...

At Olney Transportation Center, does the end of the track on the ramp end on a grade or does the track level out before ending?
