(Video) Mess-Ups at Massena

Below is the YouTube “short-form” video of my Massena show blooper reel. For those who prefer the bigger picture (see what I did there?), here’s the normal-sized version.

(Video) NE-87 Crawls Through West Gemmill on the ADK&LC At the Massena Show

A quick clip from this past weekend’s Massena show. This was the longest train I had running at the show, and it took constant work to keep it going. Quick question for all of you, does the video look “glitchy” at all? -Harrison

The CP TEC Train Returns…

The CP TEC Train returned to the northend last week. I missed the trip south due to a prior commitment but I snagged the return trip at the north end of the bike path in Plattsburgh. The lighting wasn’t ideal for anyone this day… The lead car, some sort of boxcar from the Holiday Train, […]

Photo Album: Adirondack Live Steamers Fall Meet

Below are my photos from the Saturday of the Fall Meet. There’s not to much to say about them, so enjoy… I’ll be back with more photos from the Massena train show soon. -Harrison

Lafayette County Coal Co on the ADK&LC

The reason I’ve been slacking off on catching up on posts is that the Massena Train show is less than a week away, and I still have a module needing work. I’ve just about finished the coal trestle, which I’m calling the Lafayette County Coal Co after Jim Lafayette, from whom the trestle and other […]

I will be posting a much better video while I’m at Massena… –Harrison

Thursday Railfanning: Pan Am, Amtrak Heritage, and CSX Q004

On Thursday, September 9th, we headed south to my grandparents in the Hudson Valley. The plan was to stop at the Adirondack Live Steamers on the way down, but Corey Ward messaged with breaking news- Pan Am was running an EDRJ (East Deerfield-Rotterdam Junction) sometime that afternoon. As EDRJ is rarely a daytime run, and […]

This video covers my most successful trip to Whitehall yet- featuring a chase, four railroads, and three trains total. -Harrison

Module Work: Nothing Like a Deadline to Speed Things Up…

I’ve been getting quite a lot of work done on the module, thanks to the upcoming Massena train show. I’ll share a much, much more detailed tour once the module is finished. How is the overgrown freight house siding looking? The modern grade crossing Shane MacKellar installed previously is remaining, with some added crossbucks of […]

Friday Afternoon at the Adirondack Live Steamers

On Friday afternoon we made our way up to the Adirondack Live Steamers. Compared to a Saturday, not much was happening, but I grabbed a couple of photos. This small PRR steamer was only recently built. Brad Peterson’s D&H hoppers certainly get a lot of use around the Adirondack Southern. They look great as well! […]

A Quick Visit to Mohawk Valley…

On my recent trip to the Capital Region, I visited Mohawk Valley Railroad for a couple of needed turnouts… Well, there were no more Atlas number 4s… So I settled for a Peco “Medium”, plus an Atlas curved turnout for Plattsburgh yard. Delaware, one of the store’s two “Train Cats”, was being strangely friendly. I […]

The Longest 252 I’ve Ever Seen

One week ago I heard that 252 had broken apart just north of Plattsburgh- with over 200 cars! Since we were heading south as it is, we caught up with them at MP 141 in Willsboro. Only 2 units were on the head end, with a mid DPU after the two-days-worth of general freight (252 […]

Photos will be out when I get a chance.
