railroadbill Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 NYC DES-3 tri-mode on the streets of Manhattan complete with cowboy escort. Judging by the cars this photo is mid 40s 0B8F0A14-4AA4-48FF-97FF-642D0A380A7E.jpeg Terrific picture. Is this the line that was replaced by the High Line overhead track that's now a public walkway? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Its on 10th Avenue, on a bit of track not replaced by the high line, which was built in 1934. The high line is just off scene to the right, running parallel https://www.google.com/maps/@0,0,0a,0y/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1ssseGbXsRpVLJuRshU84h7w!2e0 (The link doesn’t seem to want to work correctly, if you spin round 180 you can see the same building) Edited November 5, 2018 by Talltim 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Here are two more pictures of Utah Transit Authority's(UTA) TRAX light rail train in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have been in the Salt Lake City area the last two weekends with my job as a professional truck driver. On the weekend of November 2nd-4th, I had went joy-riding on UTA's FrontRunner commuter rail train and visited two model train stores. I visited "The Train Shoppe" in suburban South Salt Lake, Utah and "Hobby Stop" in suburban Orem, Utah in the first weekend. In this last weekend(November 9th-11th), I went to a NMRA model train show in suburban Sandy, Utah. I had purchased a N scale Southern Pacific locomotive(gray and red) at the show. To all of you soccer fans: Sandy, Utah is the home of the Real Salt Lake team in Major League Soccer. http://www.railpictures.net/photo/671491/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/581260/ Wendell Idaho, USA 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingley hall Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Here's a handful taken last year in Utica, NY, of the NYS&W operation there that switches local industries and makes its way along Schuyler St for a short part of its journey. The weather was a bit iffy and I was planning to have a lie in when I got a text message form the engineer telling me he was just signing on for the job. These pics are on the return run back to Utica and include GP40 3030 shunting the FX Matt Brewery, makers of Utica Club & Saranac Ale. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Here's two pictures of the Denver Rock Island Railroad running alongside Packinghouse Road in Denver. From late Thursday to early Saturday of last week(December 6-8, 2018), I was in the Denver metropolitan area while working my trucking job. I got to visit the "Caboose"(formerly Caboose Hobbies) model train store in suburban Lakewood, Colorado last Friday. Caboose is the largest model train store here in the United States and one of the largest in the world.

Johann Marsbar Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I still consider the South Shore Line running through Michigan City to be one of my favourite locations in the US. I took this one on a visit there in 2013..... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new one in Lakewood is a lot smaller and carries less stuff than the old one, I think that the owners of Caboose Hobbies retired and sold up, the Caboose in Lakewood has new management.

Regards, John P Yes, the newer store is smaller(in the number of items) than the old store in Denver on Broadway. But, I think the new Caboose store is still the largest store in The States in terms of square footage. Wendell Idaho, USA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Marsbar Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 One from the former 19th Street route in Erie, PA, taken back in 2001........... Not a particularly brilliant scan of the original slide, but I believe this was the last year they used this line, as they were working on the link for the diversionary route when I was there. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a "before" and "after"(via attachment) picture of a train running down Olive Street. Anaheim is about 35 miles(56 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles via the Santa Ana Freeway(Interstate 5 or I-5).
