Where I work I met a gentleman that belongs to the WNY Railway Historical Society. They have a lot of interesting equipment in various states of refurbishment. I thought you might find it interesting.

Tom. Nice. That HH660 loco would be neat to have as a 3r model!

Thanks for the link. I visited the site and read "TERROR AT THE CROSSING
SPRINGVILLE - 1934". As school administrator in an area that has active train tracks (CSX) and ungated crossings, it was kind of scary. Of course weather appeared to be a big factor in that crash. It was a miracle that no one was seriusly injured or killed.

Thanks,

Mitch

Tom,
Where is this located? Isn't Orchard Park just west of Buffalo?

Buckeye- Hamburg and Orchard Park are right by each other. As you come up I-90, the last exit before the toll booth west of Buffalo is Orchard Park.

Mitch- Where are you a school administrator? As you know, that's my profession also.

Roy- There are so many things that would look good in a 3 rail version. I agree with you on that one.
