Re: Track That Runs Parallel to I-280 in Toledo

If you look close; just south of the NS bridge; there is an old school Tell-tail. The ropes are long gone, but the pole is still there! You can see it clearly on Bing Maps Street side view.

So we decided to get some shots of Metra and Amtrak trains from the Roosevelt Road bridge. Low and Behold; tacked on to the rear of an Amtrak train was the Hoosier state wit...

Re: Henry Ford GG1

I was in Cooperstown Junction last year. The GG1's were parked in the woods a couple hundred yards off the main line; However, the track had been severed from the main and no longer accessible.

Orrvlle Ohio

Does anyone know what is going on there.
All of the equipment that was downtown has been moved to the far West end of the yard.
I also did not see steamer or the MRS-1 at the storage yard. The ORHS CF7 was in the storage yard by the Scotts plant.

Any info?
Thanks, Terry

Re: Barr Mills Alco Switcher

Yes. Not really buried too bad. The entire loop track appears to be intact with the exception of where it is severed from the main.
I will try and post a picture later.
