pH Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Never mind 'street running' - how about 'lawn running'? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=406728&nseq=12 Edited March 25, 2013 by pH 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Boucher Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Never mind 'street running' - how about 'lawn running'? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=406728&nseq=12 What I find most interesting about that photo is that all the boxcars you can actually see are Milwaukee Rd "rib side" boxcars. Quite unique cars. If my google search was accurate, about 13K of these cars were built. I know its a photo of Milw train, but I still found that a interesting coincidence.

pH Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Maybe not quite appropriate for this topic because (1) The train isn't running along the blacktop, but across it and (2) It's not a street - it's the Trans-Canada highway !!, coast-to-coast across Canada, and a freeway at this point, as it is for long stretches: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=435441&nseq=0 I've actually driven over this crossing, and just did not notice it. I guess I wasn't thinking of a rail crossing on a freeway. (Shades of the "Kirk Deighton cows" on the old A1!) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocoach Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Try Oakland, California where the UP (ex SP) mainline runs in the middle of Embarcardero West street with Amtrak, CalTrain and UP freight traffic.About 30 or more movements (what running trains are called these days) a day down this street without a separate right of way. 20 Caltrain Sacramento trains a day (both directions) 4 Caltrain San Juaquin trains a day (both directions) 2 Starlights (Coast trains, one each direction) 2 City of SF (to Chicago,one each direction} plus the UP freight traffic.

trisonic Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Not just coal trains running through West Brownsville - now an AMTRAK excursion! http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=445211&nseq=2&favsearch=1 They could sell plenty of tickets for that run...

Mike Boucher Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not quite street running, but proof that there's a prototype for just about anything you can think of.https://maps.google.com/maps?q=West+Brannen+Street,+Statesboro,+GA&hl=en&sll=42.036922,-71.683501&sspn=2.464187,5.482178&oq=west+brannen+st&t=h&hnear=W+Brannen+St,+Statesboro,+Bulloch,+Georgia+30458&z=20 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 I thought fag had a different meaning on that side of the pond! GP9 looks remarkably original, with only ditch lights (is that what they are?) to show it as upgraded. The whole livery looks right too, it's a good one. best, Pete.

jpendle Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Fort Collins Colorado has the BNSF Sub from Denver to Cheyenne running down the middle of Mason street, around 6-8 trains a day.Since these videos were taken the rail road tracks have been seperated from the rest of the traffic by kerbing which alows the trains to run through town faster. But you can still drive down the street with a very large train at your side doing the same thing John P 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
