Hi: The bus picks you up at the hotel and takes you there in 1 and half hours. You get 4 hours at the Museum and then the bus drops you off at the airport in...
My GP9's are all bicentennial scheme and my GP7 is 1557 bicentennial, all are P2K's that I painted and I am considering placing sound decoders in them. My very...
My best guess for the FTs would be that they had a Leslie A200. I think some of them actually had two, one facing forward and one facing the rear. I would say...
Folks... I found one last older B&M Bulletin issue to get rid of. The Summer 1976 (hard to believe it's been 30 YEARS!!!), "North Country" issue is listed on...

Possible, too, that they are on wood pilings driven in clusters to their point of refusal (or bedrock) using a crude pile driver. Have you ever seen "Bridge on...
Kind of off topic, but when the Manchester-Keene joined the Cheshire line at Keene, it joined it from the SOUTH side of the Cheshire. In order to lose height...
JSH: Whats the scientific definition of bedrock? Is it possible also that the stones of the abutment could have been laid on anything besides the bedrock or...
How were fills and cuts built? Two words... Cheap labor. I suppose there are cases where large glacial erratics may have served as suitable bases, but bedrock...
Actually, to "Cheap labor", I would add "private enterprise" and "small government". These, too, contributed to rapid completion. Look at Starrucca Viaduct. It...
A very nice arch exists at Webb, just a stones throw off Rt 12 south of Keen, NH. _http://docs.unh.edu/NH/mond36nw.jpg_ (http://docs.unh.edu/NH/mond36nw.jpg) ...

I vaguely recall reading somewhere (maybe on the PA historic site plaque on location) that NO lives were lost building this viaduct. I also recall that this...

The other day I was asked about the branch. I know that the branch used in later days was part of the New Haven's Canal Line. Where did the origional B&M line...
The B&M line departed from the Fitch on the north other side of the river from the yard. Recall that there is a spur to a scrap yard there. That is the...

The B&M left the main by the junkyard, crossed Montague City road and then crossed the river via the island you can see from the highway bridge, and then...
