An old issue of Railroad Magazine (the pulp mag that eventually became Carstens' Railfan and Railroad Magazine) had a story, maybe one of the Eddie Sand...
River ferries, instead of lake ferries, were operated by the same roads that ran the land on both sides of the river. C&O for example, operated such ferries...
I am use to Lake Mich. ferries and they are not the same RR on both ends. That wasn't my main question. I wanted to know those that modeled ferry docks on both...
From: "William Shanaman" Subject: Standard Practice on the New Haven was to load the barges/transfers with the center tracks first then the outside tracks....
And how do you load / unload a two track barge? My idea: half cut for one track, another track and then rest at the first track. Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Dudler...
Yup. That's what I was getting at. For loading and unloading a car ferry it's best to use idler cars instead of subjecting the apron to the engine loads. This...

Hi Dan, I too just got on board with this group a few days ago, interesting stuff to read. I started to work with the Old Seaboard in Charleson, S. C. in 1967...

I will be away from all my Yahoo Groups from July 5 through at least the 15th while we move to Atlanta. I have therefore set all my groups to "no mail." Please...
... Dan, Thanks for the information. Yeah, there just didn't seem to be a whole lot going on at Fresno with the SP, at least in the 1980's. I remember driving ...
Peter, We'll be moving not too far from Atlanta later this month; Huntsville, AL. So far indications are that it is an N scale and Ops vacumn. Hope you fair...
Are there any industries that would make use of helium tank cars besides the US Government? (I saw a number of helium tank cars when I lived near the Kennedy...

Linde used these cars also. They were a gas transporter using rail and truck. Later cars were box cars fitted with tanks inside. Branchline makes a Yardmaster...

Huntsville is right next to Decatur, where I'm hoping to move within the year. If that happens, there'll be at least two of us. Ken ... From: "Roger Otto"...

Kadee couplers have been my standby for years, and for the patent years, about the only game in town. Newer rolling stock is coming with different brands, not...
Once upon a time I determined that the distance between track centers was less in the US than in Canada, at least in yards, though I can't remember any of the...
Hi Wells, Have about a 90% Kadee equipped fleet and the rest are a mixture of Accumate, Life Like etc. The uncoupling tools of choice are bamboo skewers that...
