Two Former Bklyn Race Tracks in one 1924 Aerial View - - 2012/05/15 Sheepshead Bay Race Track Aerial View (Full) 1924 - Here is a full view of the Sheepshead Bay Race Track pathway that was still visible in this 1924 aerial picture. The long line on the left is Ocean Avenue. The area to the east of the former race track is Marine Park. From this picture, it appears to me that the Sheepshead Bay Race Track may be larger than the Gravesend Race Track.&nbs... - 2012/05/14 Unusual Manhattan Streetcar Line - The Avenue B Line - Source: B. Linder, "Avenue B Line", New York Division Bulletin , Vol. 44, No. 11, November 2001, pages 2 -3.

Linder, Part 10, South Brooklyn's Trolley Operations, ERA Bulletin, October, 1976, p.8. (From a drawing dated September 29, 1960) This line drawing, drawn in 1960 needs some explanation because there is a gap in the map. Here are some of the points: The map does not show which trackage is under trolley wire or associated... - 2012/05/08 Vienna's Underground Tram Sections - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnRbAJORz2g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMYPj24BLyA A good friend also gave me the links to these two videos dealing wth the underground sections of Vienna's tram network.

Cedar Hill Rail Yard in New Haven
From 1844 to 1967, the New Haven RR was a force in New England. Driving north from New Haven, Cedar Hill yard cannot be overlooked. Its still used, but not to the extent it was 50 year ago. Imagine, over 9,000 cars handled on one day!
Since 1950
Over fifty years ago, Merle Armitage published a book called "The Railroads of America". In it, he listed the major railroads of the time. I took his list and tried to see where they all went. I also compared to a 1980 source of Class 1 railroads.
Not So Long Ago
Amazing tidbits from railroading magazines of the 1940's; some of which seem so strange and out-of-place now. Also a fictional plan for mass transit in the Albany, New York area.
Elgin, Joliet & Eastern, The J
The Elgin, Joliet & Eastern, runs a huge circle around Chicago, crossing every line entering the Chicago terminal. In addition, it serves great industries, like US Steel's Gary Works.
