Johann Marsbar Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 A Kansas City Southern loco made it into Massachusetts this morning (along with a UP loco) on a Blue Island (IL) to Worcester (MA) Ethanol train - for interchange there with the Providence & Worcester. Managed to get some indifferent screen shots from the cameras at Westfield and Springfield, but at least you can make out what they are..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the CSX lines aren't that far away from the preserved line as I've stayed in the Holiday Inn there. It was doing a fair bit of PTZing whilst I was watching, not just trains but buildings, vehicles on the highway etc. Fortunately it is quite high up on the Kensington retirement apartments (ex Algonquin Hotel) and can do a good sweep of the area.

(since 17/11/22) Located at the "Whistle Stop" restaurant. https://goo.gl/maps/iwu4ooftKJsvLF4J9 It's about 8 miles due east as the crow flies from the existing camera at the TVRM at Chattanooga, Many of the trains will pass both cameras.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 13, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2022 Amtrak use it, so even passenger trains could be involved, a double deck car overturning could be horrendous. Derailments seem quite common on US railroads/railways. There's loads on you tube. I know it's a huge network but it does seem more common than should be expected.

Almost the same place as last time, or the last one I was aware of. Didn't take long to clear it but hell of a mess. Often a Coupling or Bogie failure. Amtrak there, doesn't use that curve as far as I 've ever seen, BUT it does pass close behind there. Really dodgy stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Marsbar Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 There obviously isn't a lot to do in Greenville, Maine, at 01.40 in the morning, as the camera there captured a light sabre duel between Darth Hoodie and Luke Snowalker earlier today.....

I don't know if it's regular or a one off. I've looked around at some YT videos and it seems Amtrak reversals usually use a triangle closer to Union Station to reverse , so the one I saw on camera could have been because the other one was unavailable for some reason. This does mean the train coming down to Sante Fe junction then reversing back onto the other triangle (by the old roundhouse): Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big 10 Curve, Arvada in view, where trains are definitely in the landscape: All you need is some Kato N unitrack, some stock and a lot of scatter materials for that. It's a bit too far away for me, you hear lots of birdsong, little loco noise and it's hard to make out what is in the consist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
