The LORAM Rail Grinder on the D&H
Earlier this month I heard the rail grinder was leaving Bluff. We tried to head them off in Plattsburgh, but ended up in Beekmantown before we could get ahead of them. I focused on filming the grinding action rather than still shots, but no worries, the video is coming soon. Three hi-rails followed the train […]

Over the past week or so I’ve torn up the temporary Plattsburgh yard and I’m now waiting for the new cork sheet to be fully glued to the layout so I can begin laying the “proper” tracks. It took quite some time to get all this glue on the foam… All this leftover paint is […]

With the holidays over and school taking over railfanning time, I decided it was time to continue work on my layout. The priorities were as follows: Track and wiring, the GP Mill benchwork extension, and the Saranac River/Cumberland Ave. The 3rd Law of Model Railroading states that often the least important task is the most […]

During the last week of 2021, I was watching 252 switch Bluff yard when they tied down, waiting for a new crew. This allowed me to stand directly in front of the train to grab an “open door” shot. Here is the slightly-edited result: I then tried my “artistic ability” and created this: Which do […]

Sometime this past week, I heard 252 leaving Rouses point with what sounded like 7050 as the leader. This was an ACU, but after calling the CP Trace to check on all the 7050 series, none of them showed in the area. We went out nonetheless, and I was surprised to see 7015 leading the […]

If you like seeing the past year’s trains flash before your eyes set to some “rockin’” music, this video is for you. If not, I put a lot of work into this video and the thumbnail (notice how it’s actually a photo mosaic?), so enjoy either way. Happy 2022! -Harrison
