The other half of our April 5 plan was an outing to explore remains of the U&D and C&CV in western Delaware County. I'm sure the DURR will let us meet at the...

Wow - November 1900, 4 months after they opened that end of the RR, and they were selling ticket No. 170 from O. to a little place like Kortright Station ...
Listed are four outside station lamps. I know the style and know they are oil. While oil was used in signals and switch lamps, etc. well beyond this date, how...
I just added a Canajoharie & Catskill folder. Click http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/UDRRHS/lst and you will see a single photo taken on 7/31/2002. This is...
Hello all If there are photos or drawings of the items on this inventory, can you let all of see what we need? This way if any of us see an item we can either...
As far as I know, there are no photos or drawings of the U&D items specifically - the nearest thing I know of is a catalog the N Y Central put together in...
John's question (might we want this scale for the Roxbury Depot restoration?) raises a couple of other good questions: 1) Was there ever a scale like this at...
Here's a thought. Could it be that maybe there was a separate corporation or entity that ran the telegraph and possibly yet another that ran the freight scale...
... Hey gang! Why not check our Yahoo site for additional input....{:>)) I see some enterprising soul has lodged a picture(albeit too big...but I will soon...
Interesting question on the express and telegraph companies. The 1916 Official Guide doesn't show an express company operating on the U&D. However, my first...
It seems to me, that the purpose of any good historical exhibit is to tell a story. While restoring the depot to WWI era is a good goal, we should consider...
Apologies for forgetting that Dale was just telling us he was going to post that inventory of scales - but he's right, even if this scale isn't on it, if it...
The recently released book "Creameries of Upstate New York at the Turn of the Century" by John W. Hudson, II includes three views of creameries along the U&D...
I am going to try to model N scale coal cars for the upcoming Erpf exhibit. According to Best (p194) U&D had 40 Coal cars (likely early type hoppers) built in...
Steve - It might be that the U&D didn't sell its telegraph lines to Western Union, but continued to lease them. And it's also possible that WU built and owned...

Jim, New Kingston is an offshoot valley and has never been on any rail line. It did have a creamery, but had no rail service closer than Margaretville on the...
Yep, that is exactly what the caption for the Hudson Valley Creamery in New Kingston says, "Although the town had no direct rail connection - the Delaware &...
Good evening all... I have uploaded a photo of Editorial ticket books assigned to a couple of newspaper folks in 1917. They were employees of "The" Albany ...
Thanks, Flans. If I knew about these little "editor comps", I'd forgotten them, but they sure worked, and they're exemplary of how Our Favorite Industry used...
A nice question this presents: How far from the railroad was the "practical milkshed", to coin a term? The New York milk train went through Arkville every...
Burr, I have several photos of D&H cars on the U&D, and some plans, that I will pass along as soon as I have a chance to scan them. They're not complete, and...
