Thank you for standing by the train twice, 4 locomotives, 3 bulkhead flatcars and 81 tank cars. On my H0 field table, 4 locomotives and 3 flatcars are O.K.! Tank wagons can accommodate a maximum of 10-12. Thanks for the movie.
I enjoy your commentary it’s very informative I remember this all is a young boy I remember August Berg Lake Placid Tupperlake you mention it I was there once upon a time and I surely enjoyed looking at your videos thank you sir great memories I have my own we’ll talk sometime outstanding take care
I live right behind the Thendara station and I thought it was the rail line as well when that little earthquake hit. They have been bringing old rail cars to Thendara then moving them out. I have some great pictures from my camera (not cell phone).
Hello from Tonawanda NY! The traffic into the north country always peaked in spring with supplies being sent north to open up and repair buildings that had been buttoned up all winter.
It's interesting that the tracks are still in place all the way to Carthage. They're obviously deeply out of service, but usually railroads in that state are lifted. This one hasn't been...
Yea they do!!! I lived on Schuyler St for almost 10 yrs and they always honked the horns, rang the bells and waved to me and any of my grandkids who were over at my apt. They would even wave to my 2 cats lol😂😂😂
Nice catch! Good to see ALCO'S running. I am near the Delaware Lackawanna RR in Scranton which runs a variety of ALCO models also. The crews at GVT take excellent care of those workhorses.
Great video. You really need for Witold to calm down. He is sooo excited! Haha love you both, you two really brighten up my husband's and my day! Watching you from Central Ohio, ( south of Columbus). Keep safe and we will be waiting to see your next adventure.
As always, great to hear from you! Be sure to check out my last video to catch Witold in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE---D2SHfee_c.html
Ah, good old Boonville. I used to ride my bike through that intersection of Main and Route 12 almost daily, 55 years ago, to be to the Erwin Public Library. And in my innocence, I wondered why I couldn’t hop onto a train south to the Big City (Utica). My memory of the depot was that it was in much better shape than today. But perhaps that’s just memory…
Another good video. I counted 3 bulkhead flats and 81 propane tankers.I sure miss the 5 chime sound of the ex-BC RAIL locomotives. Glad these old workhorse units are still operating.Greetings from Kamloops,B.C.
So much history. I remember Cohoes and all the activities. 4 main tracks the whole length of the city. 2 main tracks. Now just 1 track, no local no sidings. They ripped up the run around at the papermill because they didn't want to maintain it. Very sad
I counted 84 if my eyes didn't deceive me. The side to side movement is much more noticeable on these type of tanker cars compared to box cars. Hello from southern Dutchess county. I miss you upstate! Hope to be traveling back north soon! 👍
One of the meanings of "patent" is land or property granted to somebody by letters patent, i.e., public document by which a monarch or government grants property, titles and so on.
I believe I saw Witold eating a few Blades of grass and he did turn his head so perhaps he partial sheep. Somehow I can picture at the end of the Revolutionary War the British apparently left behind their Scout dog. Anyway great footage and I'm Amazed at the speed those propane cars were going considering it's a smaller Shortline. I hope the line doesn't get a lot of flak from residents about the stored cars in the woods considering the Heat Saratoga & North Country. A few years ago. There the story was they were loaded some were leaking. Some held poisonous chemicals etc. I had to chuckle about the lead 3 flat cars in that they are short line and until about a year ago had sat in dead storage in NE Michigan after ceased hauling pulpwood. Suddenly two were sighted in Ohio and a few others headed south towards Kentucky. They belong to Lake States Railroad Company and pretty much operate some former Detroit and Mackinac trackage heavy on stone and cement. Special thanks for the close-up at the feed mill and the drive under. That little conveyor belt Bridge is hilarious. Milwaukee where it's cold damp and 37°
Too bad it was too cold for a Mercer's ice cream at Mercer's Dairy ! 🍦🍦 Is there anything that get's Witold excited ? Thanks John From the Queen Village
@@mattmanyam Still open and doing great. They have one of the creamiest ice cream out there. Always a treat to go to Mercers ! I didn't know they were bought out. Glad new owners kept everything the same ! Thanks Matt
2455 in British Columbia colors. Where did they get that unit? I'm wondering if it was the 4204 that was in Morristown N.J. then moved to the DL in Scranton Pa. Last time I was in Scranton I did not see the 4204. Anyway nice video as always. From Upper Mount Bethel Pa. have a good one.
Nice to see what appears to be a relatively unmolested former BC Rail lead unit in that consist. As someone born, raised, and continuing to live in Western Washington State (greater Seattle-Tacoma area), they were a familiar name in these parts (I believe they were even one of the regular contributors to the local PBS TV station in Seattle that could also be received in Vancouver) - and as I recall, a far more familiar sight when I was attending Uni up north in Bellingham (WA) in the early to mid-'90s. It's a real shame how they were done dirty by their own country's government and essentially wiped from existence, though so many other lines have succumbed to these silly mega-mergers over the decades.
Not sure what you mean. The car owners pay money _to_ the railroad to store the cars when they're not needed for traffic. For example, demand for propane is much higher in the winter, so propane tanks often end up in storage over the summer.
