The CPKC Era of the Holiday Train: Chasing on the Delaware & Hudson
It's November 25th, and I'm out just after midnight for the CPKC Holiday Train deadhead move south on the D&H (Canadian Sub). A quick chase from Chazy to Plattsburgh, and then down to Wickhams Marsh.
After a day of school and other work, it's now November 26th and I'm heading down to Whitehall with @railfan_bman to chase the northbound trek of the Holiday Train. We catch @JamesBarkerBandOnline and @Clerel performing at Port Henry and Plattsburgh before calling it a night at Beekmantown.
Locations:
Whitehall, NY
Dresden Station, NY
Ticonderoga, NY
Crown Point, NY
Port Henry, NY
Westport, NY
Essex, NY
Port Kent, NY
Plattsburgh, NY
Beekmantown, NY
Chazy, NY

Shortline Success Story: An Inside Look at the Sartigan Railway
Переглядів 5 тис.14 годин тому
The Quebec Central Railway from Quebec City and Charny to Sherbrooke, Thetford, Vallee Junction, St-Georges, and Lac-Frontiere played an important role in the settling and development of the Chaudiere-Appalaches and Eastern Township regions of Quebec, Canada. After a shaky, failed restart in the early 2000s, the Quebec Central was at risk of abandonment, or worse, rail-trail conversion. Fortuna...

I'm visiting the Fore River Railroad along with some friends, and later on we head to the Mass Coastal and Northeast Corridor for MBTA and fast Amtrak/Acela. The Fore River Railroad is a 2.7 mile long shortline operating primarily within the Quincy shipyard, with historic ex-Conrail GE Dash 7 locomotives. My story on the...

    QC had some neat engines, sadly all the freight engines got scrapped, with the rumor mill being that they were intentionally destroyed by the owner. Nice that they are the ones that got the 71 from the Minnesota Commercial, the whole story of how they started up is really neat!

    • @MaximTardif-s5k
      @MaximTardif-s5k День тому

      No, QCR's engines were not scrapped by the owner during he was alive. They were scrapped by the succession of the former owner, who decided to did not follow the story and the venture. But during his living period, QCR engines were stretch To their maximum capicity with a minimum maintenance program (you can read here "without" ) So those engines were just good for scrap, (believe me ... A lot !) Wheels were all condemned and engine oil was grey, like a good mayonnaise recipe of oil and antifreeze. (List could be very long)

    Thanks for that document. I didn´t know that train service was back. I rode their eccursion train. Track to Lac Frontière is gone. From Google Earth it´s hard to imagine that once CP had an enginehouse there. Don´t Sartigan operate also the Gaspé line ? Thanks to Québec government to have purchase the track. Vermont was way ahead in its time to do it with the dead Rutland. Vermont Railway is successfull. Hard to say if former Rutland (O&LC) in NY state could have a future now. In 1960 it was no.....and a different state legislature. A Sartigan map would have been a good helper for those unfamiliar with the area. Was the former bridge over Chaudière river in Vallée Jct so bad to be removed ? It won all spring thaws against that infamous river that bring with her so many bridges. In the meantime, no bridge means no access to Quebec. Is Sherbrooke also closed and for the future ? So only exit is via former Tring sub ? Thanks for that well made video and so many good news for local industrys.😊😊

      Track from Vallee Junction to Saint George is gone but from there to Lac Frontiere is still in place. Sartigan doesn't operate the Gaspe Railway. And th ebridge at Vallee was demolished and is being replaced.

    Thanks for this great video. It is rare to see a steam engine running at higher speeds on a railroads main lines today. It is great that the Reading and Northern still appreciate operating passenger excursions all over their system. I hope they continue to do so for years to come. Please remember to ride some of these trips to continue their support of passenger service. The steam trips are nice but I grew up ridding many trips on the old Reading Lines in their RDC’s so I am glad the Reading and Northern had preserved and run RDC trips as well.
