As far as I can determine, the only high car detector on GRS is at Hoosick NY. Clearance in the Tunnel, and elsewhere, is limited to 19' 6" archaic measure....
... IIRC, Herron's video tape MOUNTAIN GLORY indicates that there was a crew change in Intervale for the E-7 hauled Mountaineer of the 1946-50 period. Tim...

Which begs the next question... WHEN is the tunnel going to receive a REAL clearance job (a la Belden Hill)? It has to be only a matter of time. Happy New Year...
Guilford recently (in the past year or two, I can't remember - must be a sign of getting old) installed a HCD at Noonan's, CPF 466. This has two eyeballs, one...

It would beg the question of is it worth it to Guilford to spend the money for additional clearance at Hoosac or let 'high' cars come via CSX at Springfield or...
... Is the "Boston Line" the only line with the needed clearances, or does CSX have other options to get high cars into New England? Is is worth the money for...
Hello all: I need a McGinnis blue and black B&M logo to copy and use on my railroads B&M switchlists. Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Marty...
Thanks for the update on the HCD at Noonon's. I presume the one at Hoosick is now no longer used. Or kept in service for redundancy purposes? Just for the...
I am planning to attend the Springfield Show in February and wonder if anyone is interested in prototype plans for modelling. As before, I will supply plans in...
Marty, Here's a couple of links I have that may just be what you need. Jon http://www.geocities.com/sssmre/b-heralds.html This one has a real nice Hi Res one....
I've heard that the fiber-optic cable leases on the rights of way are of high value as well. I visited the Northern north of Concord several years ago and...
Railroad Explorer has just completed a major re-design and update of our website. We have updated the site with some striking images from our 10th issue, the ...
I saw Walthers ad for their 60' RPO in the new MR, and I wondered if it would be useful for my 1950s B&M. It has 6 wheel trucks, 6 windows in the bag sorting...
I was asked about the Summer 1950 Gull. Here I share what I know. Other information appreciated. jacob Governing PTT appears to be April 30, 1950: #23 via...
Still in service, I guess more from the cost of labor to remove it than anyhting else. It ain't broken, so why fix it? Actually, It was raised to accomodate...

There has been some discussion about the B&M buffet-parlors. Here is some assignment information from a B&M September 19, 1949 memo about the September 1949...

I've been reading the replies to this post and looking at my notes. It seems strange that the B&M assigned TWO parlors to the Ambassador in the fall of 1949....

Looking at PTTs, I see a Gull parlor-buffet service Boston-Portland from 9/55-12/56 (I don't see this service listed in 4/55 or 4/57). This would have returned...
