Hey, I was wondering if we could use the photos of the hot box and dragging equipment detector equipment on the Position Light site for use on the defect detector site. I help out with the site and think your photos, especially the ones of old HBD equipment in Amtrak towers, could make really awesome additions. Proper credit would be given, of course
@PositionLight 9 күн бұрын
Sure thing and thanks for reaching out. I would encourage you to download and re-host the images as the current web hosting might not be stable long term. I won't niitpick how you credit me aside from linking to my blog at position-light.blogspot.com/ as that is where my value added content is. Feel free to link into various topics or pages ,like towers or specific towers.

I operated the juice train in the early 80's for Conrail on the NEC. It's maximum authorized speed was NTE 70 mph, the same as the mail train. We were given the railroad all the way overnight until passenger trains started running again, then it was: 'take the siding.'

I operated freight trains for Conrail in the 70's and 80's and was held at the home signal for thru-passenger (Amtrak) trains to pass before crossing over. One summer's night, the conductor and I sat eye-level with an open window and saw a couple in an apartment in the act. When they finished, I gave them several (low) toots on the horn as a sign of appreciation.

Is there some reason there's a cut here? Why couldn't the tunnel have just bridged this area and homes rebuilt over it?
@PositionLight Ай бұрын
Although the line was electrified when built, it was still just a steam assist operation so the cut was needed for ventilation.

Back in the 1960s and early '70s, I used to catch the local freight heading up the Catonsville Branch on Saturday mornings heading west from the NEC. Even got to ride to Catonsville with the crew during the Summer of 1968! The crew worked out of Gwynns Run (Gwynn). Gwynn crews also worked the Claremont Branch which ran from the NEC east to a connection with the B&O just south of the Carrollton Viaduct on the Mount Clare trackage. You're correct! There used to be a whole lot of freight traffic on the NEC between Gwynn and Winans with the two branches mentioned, several trackside industries along the NEC that were regularly switched by locals working out of Gwynn, and Frederick Road Station with its team tracks. A lot of busy train watching spots in that part of Baltimore I grew up in back then.
