Alcanman Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good for moving badly parked cars out of the way. The snowplough would have been useful at Schuyler St, Utica for removing cars on this occasion! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Something I'd love to do as an extension to Piedmont Blues, once the layout is up and built. This is River Street in Savannah, Ga. Just catching up with this thread. I was walking along that same street about 18 months ago. Another view http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=66657 Athearn produced a H0 version of it. (Not that it helps your 0 scale project though!) Cheers, Mick Edited March 22, 2018 by newbryford 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Here's a picture of the streetcar that was running along River Street in downtown Savannah in 2011.

Wendell1976 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Here is a really nice picture of a RTD light rail train in the downtown part of Denver, Colorado. The Regional Transportation District has eight light rail lines and two commuter rail lines in their system. One of their commuter rail lines run from Denver Union Station to Denver International Airport(DEN). I got to ride on at least two of those light rail lines a few years ago as a over-the-road truck driver. http://www.railpictures.net/photo/638410/ Wendell Idaho, USA 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Snow, mountains, and quasi-street running. Who says Alaskans doesn't know about freight operations? Here are some beautiful pictures of the Alaska Railroad running within 5 feet(1.524 meters) alongside 1st Avenue in Anchorage, Alaska. I am including these pictures in the "street running" category because the railroad track is about the same height as the roadway and the business driveways cross the track. Have fun! http://www.railpictures.net/photo/606239/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/606240/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/551346/ Wendell Idaho, USA Edited July 16, 2018 by Wendell1976 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Back in 2006 we visited Alaska Whilst not strictly street running here is the train to Whittier being switched in ANchorage station In Fairbanks the old passenger station still existed despite passenger services had been stopping at a new station on the edge of town with a bus connection to downtown. We didnt see any locos in the streets but there was a solitary boxcar. Edited July 17, 2018 by roundhouse 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
