MTI#39 carried an article about wagon hoists (used to move rail wagons between different levels) in goods yards in London (UK). We've had several letters about...
... Interesting. However, I never heard of this type of operation in US. The one example of a high/low level interchange I can think of in Chicago used a...

... I think a reason why the hoist method of interchange is rare or non existent in the US is that in many (most?) cases the railroads were there first (or...
It was once pretty common for narrow gauge railroads to change trucks on standard gauge cars, so they would run on narrow gauge track. The ET&WNC is one road I...

... This operation originally went as far north as Evanston, which must be a good ten miles, and had about a dozen customers. It came about in the twenties...
Well I know the East Broad Top did it all the time at the interchange with the Pennsy. They used a log crane to lift the cars when the logging industry...
