yes
I am assuming Steve is a horse?
RC: Do you mean Isle of Man Railways as only the steam railway?
Are you having a temporary memory lapse?
The single-deck four-wheelers don't overtax Steve or the other motive-power for the line to downtoen, and definitely not steam motive. The double-deckeer does, however.
And worst of all I can't get it from any currently-searchable list of Pentahotels ... and there are only about 28 listed.
I was thinking Isle of Man railway, but car types don't match.
I'd have said either Wales or Rostock, but the details don't line up. Neither did Hong Kong.
Two lines hugged the seacoast and one climbed a mountain. Here is another viw from the line up the mountain, again by Jack May:
The whole area is known for excellent fish restaurants.
All on this line are four-wheelers, some cross-bench open and others rear-door-with-platform closed, with just one double-decker, rear stair. center-corridor top and closed bottom. Rarely used, since it taxes the motive power. One motive-power is named Steve, in addition to the names mentioned earlier,
And anuther:
Here is what may be termed a scenic view on the line connecting the transfer station and overhaul shop with dowmtown:
All current photos assiciated with this question are courtesy of Jack May.
I'm certain there are readers who have known the answer fr some time, and I'd truly like to know why they have not posted an aswer.
Becauae they do not wish to pose a new question?
And a view from the line whose special technology goes by the inventor's name.
And here is the ultra-narrow=gauge tourist line near t6he location of the previous photo:
Here is ehe dual gauge track wherec trucks are exchaned to permit the odd-gauge rolling stock to be moved to the wood-car only repair shop:
The repair shop is located on the edge of its city with track connection to the two lines of the same gauge, but very different power. The power on the line to the downtown area goes by individual names, inclding William and Mark. Again, the equipment of a line with a different gauge is also repaired here.
The city also has a separate rail operation, same guage but currently without a track connection, and a short walk is required. It has its uwn separate repair faciility for its wood passenger coaches, single diesel railcar, bus, and steam locomotives. It had three lines, now down to one, but possibilities restoring a second exist.
Two of the lines whose wood cars are overhauled here have unique technology. One's technolody is truly unique and carries the name of its inventor. Thf other's technology, if indeed it can be called that, is unique only to modern rail systems, but was once common world-wide, and still is in non-ral applications, especially in under-developed countries and in sport in developed ones.
You are correct, except it is not the main or only shop of the MUNI system, and MUNI does own plenty of steel cars.
The shop I am looking for serves cars of two different gauges, even though connected to tracks of only one gauge. Also cars of two different types of power energy. Three routes are supported, one's ownership is slightly differrent, even though all are government supported. All are scenic, one way or another. No freight is handled on two routes. The third does handle freight, indeed its freight service is essential, but the freight is carried, I think mainly in the passenger equipment., since I never saw any freight trailer if there is one. All equipment is wood.
At each of two points on one rouite, one point being the interchange with the route with a different gauge, the exists a small steam very-narrow-gauge tourist line. (Two different ultra-narrow-gauge steam-operated lines, each with one locomotive.)
Pictures of almost all of this are on a past thread on a Trains forum.
San Francisco's Cable Car shop at Mason and Washington in San Francisco serves the Powell-Mason, Powell-Hyde and California Street lines, all wooden cars...Although there is a museum there, the shop does actual work on in-service cars, at least when the cable lines are operating.
On the "Remembering the Third Avenue Elevated" thread are photos of the 99th Street Shop. This was the main shop for the Manhattan Elevated system, and was retained by the IRT as its shop for all wood rolling stock, and retained that roll for Manhattan-Bronx wood cars into the NYCTA period until the Elevated ceased service south of 149th Street, The Bronx.
Aside from purely musuem operations, the Democratic World has one main railway shop, serving all railway equipment of its system, and only wood equipment. Whose? Where? Which routes?
The locomotive was B&O 50, later Alton/GM&O 1200. Identical internally to EMC demonstrators 511 and 512, and Santa Fe 1/1A (at least as built. B&O applied a shovel nose for Abraham Lincoln service, later removed by the Alton. After retirement around 1959, it was donated to the National Museum of Transport in St. Louis.
Your question.
Chicago - St. Louis, of course.
The Alton's Abraham Lincoln, also used on the Ann Rutledge later, making a round trip each going on one and returning on the other, then operated by the GM&O, same train names.
A passenger diesel built in the 1930s for a particular train stayed with the train when the line it ran on changed ownership. The engine was later rebuilt for more general service (it ended up in local freight service) and stayed active until retired around 1960. Name the railroads and the train.
Oveermod or RC, please ask a new question. Thanks.
still strggling with Overmod's tender-enkgine question
TARS dutifully salvaged all its manhole covers from the former eastbound track. But their re-use for the ex-NYRys track at the south portion of Times Square had priority, making continued use of some NYRys covers on 42nd St. necessary.
The eastbound NYRys track became the westbound TARS track, and the westbound TARS track became its eastbound track. My map may be in error, in that there is some evidence TARS took over the old NYRys sizzors crossovers as newer and in better condition than its own, with the post 1936 reverse curves at the terminal the opposite of what i drew. Correction when time is available.
Yes, a separate pair for each company, side-by-side.
You and RC can decide who asks the next one. And yes, the traffic light arrangement was as you described --- except that the intersection of the north-south avenues did not have traffic lights at every minor cross-street. and a driver on an Avenue was expected to obey the nearest one ahead, which might be three or four blocks ahead. The cross-street driver would wait untill the avenue trasffic stopped.
daveklepperOn W 42 each pair___________
Was this in the era of the 'old-style' NYC traffic lights, where they only had red and green aspects and both lit up to warn you the light was about to turn red?
