Johnny, Stevenson, Alabama to Wauhatchie, Tennessee is still double track to this day. I have been to Stevenson to watch trains in 2006 and it was almost non stop action. George
Yes, get it going in the desired direction, then pull the little lever at the top of the boiler to the opposite side. After that, the loco will only run in that direction. George
I would like to get a three rail four axle diesel locomotive with odyssey speed control. I would prefer one painted for a southeastern road name. I want it to be four axle because it tracks better on my track. I have some rough track with many curves and many switches. Four axle diesels track better in this situation. Any suggestions? George
Yes there was an article about it in CTT. Don't remember the date though. George
Good idea, I think I know where I can get one. Thanks, George
This has been a great thread. Thanks to all for taking us to school on railroading's business end. It really helps me to understand the "why" behind what I observe happening on the railroad outside my window every day. Some of the questions that get asked and answered are ones that I have wondered about for years. George
Paul, You did a good job of making the third rail go away, especially on the shot with the NH engines. George
Under the new PTC law, do all lines have to have PTC installed on them, or just those with passenger trains? I should know this, but I have missed it. George
Thanks to all for the replies. George
In North America, any man's car can run on any man's railroad. The exception to this is the narrow gauge lines, which is a whole different subject. If a shipper in Denver wanted to ship a car to a consignee in Atlanta, the car might be routed over UP from Denver to Memphis and then go over the NS from Memphis to Atlanta via Sheffield and Birmingham. Since UP is the originating railroad in our example, they would most likely own the car. NS would bill them a certain amount to move the car
