Where exactly is the tower in Lowell located and do we know how old it is? The Boston and Lowell Railroad which was leased to the Boston and Maine Railroad ...
I think BMZ trailers are pretty much history. The ones you are referring to were pretty early on in the B&M intermodal history and may have been 40' ones. The...
I've been trying to think where I recently saw a few of these trailers. It finally dawned on me . . . . on Rt. 12 in Winchendon Mass, heading north they're on...
It has been 10 years since I moved from Wells, but as of '97 there was one on Route one across from the Moody Post Office in white (looked like an old Front...
Does anyone know of a photo or drawing that shows the detailed structure of the mail sack catchers used on the 3110-3114 B&M RPO cars (see page 66 in Sweetland...

I'd agree with Roger. The pouch catchers all appear in photos to be the same or very similar as the design may have been tweaked in minor ways over time. A...
For a close-up of the sack catcher on the RPO car and the lineside crane mechanism in detail, see Classic Trains for Fall 2006, the entire issue devoted to...
The best place to start would be with the drawing list for these cars at the IRM Pullman library. I think the other Roger has this one correct in that this is...
Perhaps not exactly B&M, but non the less, this was a viable client back in the day...Heard that the "mill" closed on Christmas Day, so I quess that there will...

PHOTOS! PHOTOS!! PHOTOS!!! Greetings folks! Now that things have slowed down a bit from the assembly and distribution of the Track Charts CD, I have been able...
I'll make a group reply so all will know... Unfortunately, not much of the B&M. There is just one shot of the N. Walpole shop in steam days. There's also a...
A request from someone (me) who knows very little about the B & M: I am interested in learning more about the CV/B&M operations along the Connecticut River...
Steve, There are 2 books that have been published in the past: "Railroad Post Office History" by Leo A Mckee and Alfred L Lewis "Mail By Rail, The Story of The...
The last time I was back to see my folks, I drove by the Johnsonville NY tower and it still stands. Does anybody know who owns it or if anything is still in...
Just became familiar with this location, looks like a great location for an LDE / diorama / section. If one wished to model this station, do photos of the four...
