“Local” Thanksgiving…

On Thanksgiving day 2020, Kingston-Selkirk local C711 rolls across Catskill Creek on the CSX River Line. We had a great morning railfanning the River Line on this thanksgiving, although C711 was not working. Stay tuned and have a great thanksgiving! -Harrison

650 in Low Light- SD70ACU Leader

On my way to town one afternoon I heard 650 was coming south with CP 7051 leading. This is an SD70ACU, and a locomotive I haven’t seen a lot up here. We headed out to north end of the bike path in Plattsburgh, where the wind whipped brutally off the lake. The light was just […]

BNSF “Heritage” Visits the D&H

On a beautiful Saturday, I learned that 931 was powered by a pair of BNSF units- the trailing being a “H1” unit. I’ve seen H2, but not H1, so at 1 PM I set out for Rockland. Local railfan JR reported hearing it approaching as we were still traveling, so we diverted and headed to […]

(Video) I Quit Modeling the D&H (For now…)

Guys, I made a decision… I’m going to quit modeling the D&H… for now, to try out a new flavor of railroading! Be sure to watch until the end!

Sense of Place and the Ausable Trestle

This past Wednesday I heard that 931 was coming out of Wadhams around 1 PM. Since we had to run some errands in Peru anyway, we headed out to the Ausable Trestle, not far from Peru. We parked at a somewhat sketchy access point, and after dodging a gate (living surrounded by state land, this […]

(Video) Riding the Maine Narrow Gauge in Portland Maine

I swear it didn’t occur to me that the dog isn’t in the video until after I posted it…

Watertown Freight House- Abandoned Building Photography

On my recent visit to Watertown, NY, I stopped by the old Watertown yard location, where the freight house still stands. I tried my hand at capturing the feel of this decrepit in a few images. Looking down the freight house, we see that it’s quite long, with lots of clutter alongside it. I thought […]

What a Good Boy- Portland Narrow Gauge

I was looking for unpublished videos to upload today and I came across this picture. What a good boy- my dog would never set foot on a train, no matter the size! I shot this image at the end of the Portland Narrow Gauge track during our 10-minute layover. The car we were riding on […]

(Video) Massive POED and Amtrak Action in Maine

Well, enjoy I guess. Skip to about 10 minutes in if you can’t stand the endless Amtrak parade.

Guilford in One Image- East Deerfield, MA

Well… this about sums up how Guilford treated the D&H. 7414 is seen here looking like a storage shed on a flatcar in September 1987. Photo by Skip Estes, used with permission. Originally posted on Pan Am Rail Lines (ST & PAS) on Facebook. -H

NS 7312 and the D&H Sticker

I recently noticed that NS 7312 has a small D&H sticker on the rear between the numbers. I remembered catching (and noting the number of) this unit back in August, so I looked, and sure enough, there was the sticker! Whoever put this (and the one on the front that was taken off) on the […]
