Some of you who have posted here before 2004 may remember me always asking for info on the then NYCH and NYA for my HO scale plans of said railroads. Its now been 11 years, 3 jobs, 3 houses, 2 kids and an 1800 mile move to Colorado since I pretty much last posted. Trains have been unpacked and construction began on a layout in earnest last year. I personally have the most knowledge about these railroads from the era mentioned in the subject line so I'm focusing my modelling efforts then. But I am still a humble student to those who live, breathe and even work these railroads. My wish list of information is as follows and I thank you in advance for any info you can provide me.
1. Any info on NYCH track assignments by job, etc. When the float was pulled which tracks got switched etc.?
2. Any info on what tracks in A yard were used by Port Jersey RR. I have some info for instance that track 4 (the one furthest to the south) was storage for covered hoppers?
3. Did CSAO pull interchange traffic for NYCH into A yard or all the way down to the float bridges?
4. Any info on switching the auto marine terminal and how that's done? Tracks used, locomotives used etc.
5. Any info on switching Tropicana. Same as above
I have the track plan already and am actually 90% finished laying track with a pretty good recreation (save for selective compression) of the yard in HO scale. Now I am fumbling with prototypical switching of my railroad. Again I am your humble student. Thanks in advance.
