[West Coast S]

Afternoon Tom and all present, Tom, I've sent two messages for your consideration, good to see you back.


I got a lot to catch up on, don't I?? Can't begin without a cool libation, bar keeps recommendation will do..

Rob: Jumping back to my last post re: the PE restoration color used by the Orange Empire Group. I fell it is proper as during restoration later modifications were removed to reveal the true beauty of the ctaftsmanship of Laconia, I was shocked to discover that the leaded, stained glass transon windows were orginal, seems when PE blanked them out they sold the glass to whoever wanted some, amazing any survived at all. The LA city car wore the first yellow/creme/green scheme that replaced the Wine Red for visibility reasons on crowded streets, these were of three foot guage. I'm hoping that the
Birney currently under restoration,recieves the Wine Red as it is an orginal San Bernadino local lines car, PE bright red would be would be wrong as most were retired at the time of paint transition.

Barndad: Wow, that posting and photos makes the hair on the back of one's neck stand up. What a job that recovery crew had. I guess in these times of GPS and computerized dispatching we tend to loose sight of the fact that once upon a time railroading was a dangerous occupation, true railroading will never be one hundred percent safe, but modern technology has made vast strides compared to just a decade ago, anyone remember Chase MD??.

BK: Congrats on you Honeymoon and induction to the ranks of the living dead (just being fresh!!), I too just returned from the islands, but my trip was not for pleasure, a bit of nasty business to deal with.


AL, good job with the passenger coverage, how's the search for publisher going??

Lars, Rob & CM3, I see you guys have not lost your sense of humor, you insightfull additions are always appreciated, I'm ready to be your booking agent here in LA for the Comedy Club, I work cheap too, only a 15% agent fee.


Keep it real until later

Dave

[siberianmo]

G'day Dave

Recommended brew of the day is Alexander Keiths Pale Ale from Halifax, Nova Scotia - finest brew on the Continent, in my not-so-humble opinion! <grin>

Your Emails have been responded to - thanx!

Since there is quite a bit for you to catch up on, I'll hold off on any salient comments until you're ready!

You should be aware that we are down to a precious few 'round these parts - mainly due to planned absences with more to follow. This time next week, we'll have perhaps only 2 or 3 guys particpating on a regular basis and it will remain that way into mid-June. So, we can use all the help the guys are willing to give . . . .

Later! [tup]

Afternoon Tom and gang. Just popped by between jobs to see who visited, and saw Dave. I'll have a bottomless draught, and get Dave whatever he wants please. Not sure how much more work will get done today at the new place, but here's the last part of my ENCORE before I figure out how much more I want to do.

The Great Pickleworks Wreck by Ron Ziel – Rail Classics May 1979



It took the railroad over five days to clear away the debris and to haul the once-proud speed queens – engines 2 and 214 – to the scrap heap. During the weekend, sightseers had to park as far as a mile and a half away to reach the wreck. Train wrecks had always been an occasion of great social gatherings in Suffolk County, with spectators bringing box lunches and picnicking while they watched the clearing process. Nothing, however, matched the Calverton pile-up.

After the dust had settled and the wreckage was cleared, the interest in the pickle works pile-up moved from the Calverton pine barrens to the newspaper editorial pages and the courts. It had taken nearly five hours to get the wrecking train to Calverton, a seemingly long time to travel the 60 miles from Jamaica during an extreme emergency, prompting an official condemnation of the LIRR by the court of inquiry.

Despite testimony that revealed that the wreck had been caused by the lead engine splitting the pickle-house switch which was the result of a bolt having worked loose on one of the points, the coroner’s inquest exonerated the railroad from blame. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that Dr. Clarence Miles, the coroner, was an employee of the LIRR and carried a pass. Several other county coroners also had passes and one resigned in the ensuing scandal.

A grand jury was convened and the Interstate Commerce Commission Investigation found the railroad at fault. In October, the grand jury roundly condemned the LIRR for laxness, apathy and failure to properly maintain and inspect the switch, but no indictments were handed down.

Almost up until World War II, there was a grisly reminder – sort of a monument – of the Great Pickle Works Wreck. The foundation of the Golden building became weed-grown, but arching up out of the middle of it was a long, bent rail from the siding, which Engine No. 2 tore up as she ravaged the right of way. This most famous and celebrated of Long Island Railroad wrecks is still a topic of conversation among old-timers, like the 1938 hurricane.

The railroad went on to perform with an incredibly good safety record of 24 years without a single passenger fatality due to negligence, until the Rockville Center disaster in February, 1950. To those who lived on eastern Long Island in the 1920’s, however, the Great Pickle Works Wreck will always be remembered as a classic, with all of the melodrama, excitement, and morbid romance associated with the terrible wrecks of the 19th Century. It happened over a half century ago – to the old-timers it was yesterday.




[:I] Four college alumni were climbing a mountain one day. Each was from a different Big Ten school and each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans at their alma mater.
As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Boilermaker hurled himself off the mountain, shouting, "This is for Purdue!" as he fell to his doom.
Not wanting to be out done, the Wildcat threw himself off the mountain proclaiming, "This is for Northwestern!"
Seeing this, the Buckeye walked over and shouted, "This is for everyone!!!" and pushed the Wolverine off the side of the mountain. [:I]

Hi Tom and everyone, a round for the house.

Okay that is an elk. Also wrong about New York Central at Troy, they turn left at Albany. Troy on the map is north of Albany, so that has be a D&H train.

Didn't know you were going back to Alaska, Tom. I was there only once, for about an hour at Anchorage airport, saw the mountains and a big stuffed polar bear, June 18, 1967.

Here's a few non-encore (sorry) links for a crummy Saturday afternoon, Mets lose to the Yanks in extra innings at Shea on national TV. Last night's game was great though.

June 1915, Anchorage is created as a railroad construction town along Ship Creek where the railroad moves its headquarters from Seward.

July 15, 1923, President Warren G. Harding travels to Alaska to mark the completion of the Alaska Railroad by driving the golden spike in ceremonies at Nenana.

Tom, going to be sparse around these parts you say? As good a time as any to start posting my Sacramento Northern triology, Part one consumes seven, 8/12 X 11, front and back pages of handwritten notes researched by youre's truly, just begging to be posted at the right momment. Should provide good conversation for at least a week. Part two is in the note taking process as we speak. Oh, the things we all shall discover!!!


Howdy Mike, how goes the day? Never been to the great white north, more the sunshine/palm tree kinda of guy without the wacky, unemployed steroid altered surfer look , ok, the WP&Y is on my to do list at some point in my life.


Barndad, A most severe example of how to render pickles into relish!! Bring on the dogs and hold the mustard!!

A brief for those so inclined regarding Chase.

Amtraks most memorable accident occured at Chase Md. in 1987. The National Limited, running at over one hundered and fifteen miles an hour was struck by three Conrail GE units, running light that had overshot a fouling point and derailed into the onrushing express. The impact exploded the three AME7, with fatalities among the crew, two were hurled several hundred feet beyond the roadbed while the third was ignited by spilled diesel fuel, courtesy of the ruptured fuel tanks on the Conrail units. The fist seven cars came to rest atop the remains of the power, to be consumed be fire, it took investigators several days to determine that three AME7's were involved, as one AME7 remained unaccounted for until salvage commenced, so complete was the destruction.

Post investigation found the Amtrak engineer was exceeding the posted speed with several Amfleet coaches that were restricted to just under one hundred miles per hour, these coaches were near the head end and accounted for most of the twenty three passenger fatalities.

Conrail bore the brunt of the fault, the engineer,brakeman failed a substance test, the conductor was asleep at the time, a federal violation as well with the power under way, in addition, specific safety equiptment that would have alerted the crew and applied the brakes well before the foul point had been disabled or bypassed by the crew and who's tampering was condoned by operating officals as a cost saving measure in violation of Federal operating and safety rules.

The dispatching center was faulted for not deverting the light movement to a unoccupied siding, they reacted too late and threw the points under the lead unit, derailing it in the path of the National. The dispatching center should have issued a restricted speed order when it was evident the Conrail movement would not clear the interlocking in a reasonable amount of time. Dispatching displayed confusion and contradictory instructions regarding what siding and the specific location the light engine movement occupied, they were assuming with dangerous results.

From tragedy, Amtrak and Conrail revamped it's policies regarding high speed passenger operations and freight operations on shared lines, whole chapters were devoted to the Chase wreck as an example of how not to operate and pounded into all railroad employees, through such efforts and Federal scrunity, there has never been a second Chase...

Tom, you have two responses awaiting you

Dave

[siberianmo]

G'day!

Keeping with the ENCORE! Saturday idea - here's something I posted way back on page 260 . . .

QUOTE: Posted by siberianmo Posted: 01 Mar 2006, 00:34:09

. . . . We changed our rail plans for May/June. Yup - scrapped the Amwreck ooooops Amtrak trip in favor of something else. We are booked for an Alaskan adventure instead. Finally found an itinerary we could live with - fly to Anchorage - stay a couple of days - train (dome seating) to Denali stay for a day - and then up to Fairbanks - stay a couple of days - return to Anchorage by rail (dome seating) - fly home.

REALLY looking forward this this. Great way to celebrate our 15th Anniversary .... will be something to return to the 49th State for me ... left there in 1960 after an 18 month tour of duty over on Kodiak Island aboard a ship. REALLY want to "do" this trip![tup][tup][tup]
Amtrak will "happen" another day . . .

Good seeing Mike - Doug 'n Dave back at the bar! [tup] [tup] Rounds appreciated, as always.

Sorry, guys - but don't know how to break the "news" - but original "stuff" is surely a waste these days - especially on Saturdays. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it - but we simply haven't got the customer-base these days (daze). That's why we've gone to the ENCORE! format for Saturdays. REPEAT = ENCORE = DO OVER = ONE MORE TIME, etc. Get the idea [?] [swg]

Now, having said all of that - the accounting of the Amtrak-Conrail collision is sobering . . . appreciate it, Dave. Your Email response to my response has been received! [swg]

Mike Alaska was "home" for awhile back in 1959-60. Saw a great deal of the territory/state, but mainly from the vantage point of being aboard ship. Did manage to take a trip here 'n there while on leave. Made it up to Fairbanks by train (the U.S. Army ran it if my memory is correct and it was hardly the tourist "thing" of today). Flew over to Anchorage with a guy I befriended in Kodiak. He was teaching me to fly and it was quite the adventure to say the least. That was a long time ago . . . . Been to Nome, the Aleutians, all the "name" ports to and including Juneau and Ketchikan . . . . sailed the inland passage down to Seattle and back . . . pretty much saw more than a young man could possibly hope for.

Doug Hope you're going to be back online for May 27th . . . Dave has requested his "Bash" for Noon to 4 PM (Pacific time) - 2 to 6 PM (Central). I'm doubtful for that day . . . Pete, BK, Lars, CM3 won't be here . . . . Just a "heads up!"

Mike Some extremely interesting URLs . . . appreciate your efforts, once again! [tup]

Figured the Mets would give the Yanks a hard time . . . but then again, I'm not really following their division. This interleague play, in my not-so-humble-opinion has run its course. Now it seems to be "old hat" and not at all the novelty when first brought into the maintstream. I don't care for the alteration it has made to the schedules in either league. Losing those games to some of the more traditional rivalries has taken something away from the game. Oh well, the Commissioner didn't ask me! [swg]

Dave Just checked my Email again - only received one response from you - for a total of 3 Emails today. By the by - the best steaks and BBQ are in Kansas City, MO! Perhaps you can get some TDY out thataway! [swg]

REMINDER:
Leon the Night Man takes the bar at 9 PM (Central)

Good evening[bb] Tom, since you are dispencing the Keith's I'll have a tankard or two sir[tup]. I've noticed that tuesday's theme will be an encore theme , likely a good thing we seem to have shared quite a bit of good B&O info the last few times it's surfaced so should be a good choice for the week. Nice to see that dave's picke d a day and time for his bash, I think we'll have the place patched up by the 27th [swg]


Ted I'm glad to hear that at least your trip on the airlink was satisfactory.I'm no lover of airlines and flights so i can only imagine what you went through[tdn][:O]Heather said that you should have had her along she could have translated for Mr MacDuff [swg]
Oh one extra word of caution ( after the fact I know ) That wasn't mutton [:O][xx(] in the stew, mind you eating that dish came with a free high colonic [:O]

Dave Nice to see you back in this week, good info on those restoration projects. I never did ask are those cars destined for a static or running museum [?] Oh and I don't do crowds, only small venues like this for my comedy act [swg]

Doug [/b] You will be missed during the time that you are offline, not to worry we will make do without you. I'll miss the jokes however [;)] Nice to read the pickle wreck pieces over again. I have to say that I like the sign on the pickle factory. Amazing it stayed hung concidering.

Good evening gents a Classic Juice encore for this Encore Saturday

This originally showed up on page # 295. Enjoy again.

Rob



Okay a quick new piece before I'm gone until this evening.

CLASSIC JUICE # 26 THE GREAT GORGE ROUTE

Niagara Falls Parks & River Railway

As with many municipalities in Canada and the United States Niagara Falls On & Ny owe theirherritage to railways, few will actually admit this or celebrate it now however.An irony for sure is that one of Canda'a shortest lived Railways has had the most written about ( books , videos ) and thanks to the Niagara Parksn Commission plaques for every scenic bit of it's line.This line is of coarse the Niagara falls great Gorge Route.

Like most things about Niagara Falls, there is an American and a Canadian side of it.The Great Gorge Route was no different in this.The Candain side was built first,incorporated in 1891 by E.B. Oesler of Toronto and R.B. Angus( CPR Angus Shops Fame ) of Montreal. Operations started up in 1893 and it was electrified right from the get go ( no supprise there given the location ). Within the first twp yeras it had carried half a million passengers in a single car ! Ferries from Buffalo landed at the Slater dock just south of Chippewa Ontario,from there the trolley cars met the passengers and bounced along the brink of the gorge to Queenston, where a spur carried them into town or up the escarpment to the Brock Monument and the Battle of Queenston Heights National Park.At queenston passengers could board a steamer for a trip out the Niagara River and on into Toronto.This route gave the passengers an amazing view of the Horseshoe falls, te American Falls and the Rapids.

The Americans didn't want to be left out of this tourism tour da force so in 1899 they built a mirror line on the American side of the Gorge,running from Lewiston NY to Niagara Falls Ny.Around the same time the Queenston-Lewiston Brige waas being completed and quickly both side completed the belt line accross the bridge linking the two Gorge routes.

In 1915, the worst accident ona Candain radial line ocured at Queenston.As a badley overcrowded car of Sunday Picnickers,began down the steeply inclined line from Brocks monument Park, the motorman tried to sand the rails infront of the car to help with the braking.To his shock and horror someone had forgotten to fill the cars sander. With no traction the car went out of control and jumped the tracks into the Niagara River, Fifteen passengers were killed about 100 injured ( car was built for 80 passengers ),luckily the companies steamer Chippawa was at the dock and it moved out into the river ti recue the drenched passengers, otherwise many more may have been killed.

Once the auto age hit, it devistated the Gorge route business ( Niagara Parkway was built above the ROW ). Between 1928-1932 the ridership plunged and the 1932 season was the Canadian sides last.The US side ran until 1935 when a massive landslide occurred and took out 200 feet of track and overhead.The repair cost out weighed the possible returns of pasengers so this line too was shut down. Thus ended the era of being able to ride along the Niagara Gorge and enjoy the view from open air streetcars.

Hi again Tom, another round for the nearly empty house. Actually I kind of like it quiet.

Interleague baseball in New York is still as intense as ever for the fans.
