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 ... ...
Would you be breaking the law if you hiked the trail before the Barricades are removed? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

If you're talking small metal-wire stakes, maybe a foot in height, with 1 1/2 to 2 inch square plastic flags on top, and semi-randomly placed about, I believe...
You'd probably get sent to Guantanamo. As long as you're a responsible looking adult, and don't do anything wrong other than be there, it's highly unlikely...
I suppose you'd be a law breaker. The question would be, will you get in trouble. Probably not if you're respectful to the authorities (presuming they find...
I think sometimes (when there are markers are on or near trees), they indicate a tree to be removed from the trail or removal of an obstructive root sticking...
I have received some rather sad news that Hal Carstens has passed... Arrangements are at Smith McCrackens Friday and Saturday, and should be out in todays'...

Hmm. Let's see... Years back, I was just parking the car on Yates Ave and got out and someone rode by on a bike and said authoritatively that I was too far ...

It's a turn of phrase designed to emphasize the last run. Some folks still believe the big Railroadian trip on the Saturday was the last run to Branchville. ...
