I know some folks don't like doing things over the internet, so I've got some news. I've now got some of my short story fiction books in my house. If anyone...
I took a jaunt down to the State Archives in Trenton this morning. I had a target in mind and I believe I hit it. Looking through the Morris Canal collection,...
Dave, This question is VERY off topic but can you tell from old railroad maps when The Texas Company first appeared at # 38 Diller Avenue? This is the site...

Steve, You know, it always makes me wonder when (supposedly) someone like me knows more about a town than the town itself. In this case, however, I come up...
Steve, Still not any kind of hard and fast answer, but I found 2 maps at Steamtown today with the siding leading into the Texas company. One was dated 1937...

In case anybody's wondering, I don't know why my site is down. I'm all paid up. Usually Rotohost is very reliable. Dave -- The First Railroad in Sussex...
Dave, This photo is NOT of the site where Able oil is today. But it is exactly the type of shot I'm looking for to prove the existence of a rail siding at the...

To anyone interested: I'll be participating in this train show with my HO scale modules of Andover, Franklin, and Sparta. The show runs from 9AM to 3 PM....
Read something recently and it got me to thinking about smashboards on the Sussex Branch. How many smashboards were located on the Sussex Branch? How far from...
Bob, Technically speaking those smashboards at Warbasse were on the Susquehanna to protect the Sussex Branch. This, because the Susquehanna trains got caught...
I've just been informed that the washout below Branchville is being repaired. The work should be done by mid June. The trail is closed from Augusta to...
Dave: Back on April 13th, Lou Turse (from the Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee) sent out an email announcement to all PVT members, about this SB trail repair...
Paul, Because I habitually don't join clubs (I'd be broke joining all that interest me) I rely on others to give me the heads up on everything and anything...
Norm, That's right. You did mention this to me, but a few days later I was driving by and didn't see anything obvious going on, so I didn't say anything. ...
Well, all the other lists have sent it out, so here it is for ours: http://www.lackawannarailroad.com Dave -- The First Railroad in Sussex County New Jersey ...
Well, I think it's pretty amazing. Of course there are a few flaws: 1. Diesel horns - no multi-chime horns, the Lackawanna's first generation diesels all had...

Interesting. Reminds me of the Thomas the Tank Engine scenes. What is that couple doing by track 9 in the terminal? I am sure Sir Toppem Hat would not ...
The scenery in the Gallery is nice, but I couldn't spot the suspension bridge at Cranberry Lake. Dave ... -- The First Railroad in Sussex County New Jersey ...
As a 20.32 modeler, this effort in 1/32 still represents a serious effort (ditto on the expense), and does certainly recreate the mood if not the detail of the...
Thanks Norm! It looks like the state is actually doing a first class repair. We can only hope that the weeds and brucsh that have encroached upon the seldom ...
In case anyone is wondering, I did ask the Park Service about the section between Andover and Cranberry Lake, along Whitehall Rd. Sorry to say any repairs on...
You mean, however... The jungle to the north of it needs some clearing? I visited the site on Sunday. I'm glad I braved the south approach. The northern end...
I was on the trail between Andover and Newton the other day, and I noticed stakes in the ground with pink plastic ribbons on them. They are all along the...
A.J., I don't know what's up with the markers, but I see things like that often. Maybe they send out new surveyors to cut their teeth on the trail. Dave ... ...
