Hi Scott I was looking at my map of Vermont and started doodling a line from Manchester to Brattleboro (Manchester - Bondville - Rawsonville - Jamaica -...
Unfortunately, the route of the proposed Brattleboro & Whitehall was tortuous at best. The hills along the western side of VT would have posed an extreme...
I'm told that quite a number of short lines use 19 orders routinely in the U.S. in 2006. It is a safe, efficient and well-understood system. Did I mention dirt...
Railroad Enthusiasts out of Boston, Ted. Don't have any more details, however. I didn't ride it (we were "studying hard" in Waterville...or at Waterville Yard,...

There's no mention of this on the official Downeaster web site, or on the Downeaster Riders web site. Federal assistance is slated to end in 2008, but I'd be...
Great photos Ted! The mid sixties are not well documented on film, but you have some great shots of that era. Gerry Babyok [Non-text portions of this message...

Ted, Great pics! I wish there were more of them! Do you have any more along the Conway branch? Specifically Rochester and Somersworth? The pics at Rollinsford...
I remember hearing Form M's being issued on the radio before then, in the early 80's, but I can't say that those replaced the Form 19's. I would think so...
Ted, Your photo of #4227A in WRJ/Westboro reminds me of the B&MRRHS' 25th Anniversary Dinner in 1997 when Harry Frye and Don Robinson were "reviewing" the...
Craig, The correct decal set is Accucal 5815H (B&M Road Switchers). This is the multi-unit set, not the initial single unit set. I have a couple of extra sets....

The Accu-Cal decal set will not fit the Life Like BL-2 shell because of inaccuracies in the shell. The only shell they will fit exactly is the long gone Custom...

Thanks Ted! Very nice photo's! C Can you make them bigger though? Hard to see the details. 1024X768 would make them good PC desktop backgrounds. Alan Jr. ... ...
Alan, Thanks for your kind words. At the moment posting larger versions is difficult for me, as I have only a dial-up connection at home. I am thinking of...
This is slightly off topic BUT there is a point. What processed meat products were around in the New England area in the 1950s? Just looking for industries to...
Well, if we must, what you've described with a "lid" would typically be known as a "pot pie," among other names. Then there'd be Fenway Franks and Jordan's in...
