I was fishing around on the internet looking up info on the H,HJ &G RR. THe only thing that came up was a copy of the minutes of the battlefield Commision of...

Hey group; Go to http://www.pennpilot.psu.edu/ to download aerial photos from the York area. You can see either 1937 - 1942 or 1967 - 1971. It's great seeing...
It's been since October '08 when colorful power last worked the 510 / 511 coal trains from Shire Oaks to the Glatfelter paper mill.  This weekend we are...
After seeing several HUGE piles of ties, both new and used, in the Glenville PA area on the CSX 'Dutch line', a little research was in order. I came up with...
FYI for those of interest Up for auction is a lanter globe made for the Northern Central Rarilroad. Deep ruby red color. Globe is in great condition with only...
Did anyone check out the aerial photos on http://www.pennpilot.psu.edu/ around the York station in 1937? There are about 100 cars at the freight sheds! You can...
My friend Oscar Bupp sent this site to me. It is like listening to a scanner. I enjoy it very much, and I hope you do too. If you find a way to get even...
Hey there. I ahve an Adams Express log book from the first week of August 1918. There are several entries in it and I have looked at it off and on over the...
I just posted a photo of a "Conrail Quality" unit currenty assigned to York under "Bill's photos". It went by my house on the former Frederick Branch in Stony...
I've been thinking about Conrail in a new context lately. People say the government can't fix a car company and I think, "Well, they fixed a railroad." I'm not...
If you don't have it or haven't read it yet, I highly suggest reading "The Men Who loved Trains" by Rush Loving Jr. It explains everything that happened in...
I'll put it on my reading list, thanks! ... From: John Frantz<mailto:prropcrew@...> To: RRofYork@yahoogroups.com<mailto:RRofYork@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
I was downtown today and saw an ancient WM RR gantry crane at the old freight house area just off of Beaver St. I made a new file called "Western Maryland RR"...
Bill, The last development plan I saw for that parcel showed the WM freight station head house remaining as part of the project. I don't believe that they had...
Greg; Evidently the WM must have stored alot of material from when they tore down their passenger station in the '60's because I remember someone told me they...
While looking at an old GS map of York, I found a short line railroad just east of Stonybrook in York County running south into the hills. It does not appear...
You could be correct. There is an old quarry just off of Mountain Rd in that area. Bob Red Lion, Pa. **************A strong credit score is 700 or above. See...
Cool map Thomas! It looks to me like it ties on to the NCRR at what is currently Cambell Road and runs along side of same. I half think there was a sawmill...
Thanks for the quick reply gentlemen, There seems to be a building between the short line and the main line without an actual connection. Look closely....
Hi Bob, I checked your suggestion on Acme maps, and it appears that the line ended at what appears to be a small pond, but is probably a quarry with water in...
Wow, that map is awesome. Whatever it was it was gone by 1937. I looked on http://www.pennpilot.psu.edu and there's no evidence of the tracks or the buildings...
Tom, The quarry is just on the other side of Stonewood Rd. Across from the pond. I ride the roads in this area almost everyday on my bike. I've never seen...
Tom, I took a closer look at the map and I see that the roadbed crosses Stonewood a couple of times. The map also shows that the road is there at the time of...
Bob and the group, I just returned from exploring the right of way and discovered a few artifacts. The old GS map is suprisingly accurate, and the railroad...
