Date: 08/25/16 05:37 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: melalbert It was commented elsewhere that the caboose contains the controls for operating the special equipment on the train.

Date: 08/25/16 08:14 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: melalbert NYSW uses it daily...broadly speaking, good for up to 40 MPH Sparrowbush to Binghamton, 79 mph on MNRR/NJT east of Sparrowbush to Campbell Hall.

Date: 08/25/16 08:29 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: jjd0618psd What is this high and wide final destintion and does anyone have its location at this time.
Thanks for any replies Jack Date: 08/25/16 11:05 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: melalbert Response on NYS&W Facebook page indicates this is for the Natural Gas Power Plant being built in Wawayanda on Route 6. This is great revenue for NYSW, and especially the original MNJ line.
Date: 08/25/16 11:09 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: melalbert You're welcome and thanks for viewing. It was a fortunate opportunity since NYS&W trains do not usually transit Starrucca in daylight, let alone on a spectacularly sunny day, so rare in NEPA.

REK Date: 08/29/16 01:47 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: pdt So, this is an NYSW train with NS power.... It kinda makes sense...NYSW would operate this train with 1 GP-38. NS would have 2 AC-44's or some such power on this train.
Also unusual to see a schnabel and a hvy capy flat on the sam H/W move. very cool. Date: 08/29/16 02:46 Re: High & Wide Over Starrucca Viaduct Author: Ron That BBCX 1000 Schnabel Car and idlers passed through western Michigan on the CN on Saturday, July 23, 2016.

Is the ABS completely out of service between Sparrowbush and Binghamton? If so, are the signals turned aside? Does NS still dispatch the line - is it under Rule 171 (track authority form authorizes movements)? Thanks. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/29/16 11:35 by DivergingClear. |
