I would imagine slowing down on a curve headed for the interlocking there could have had some interesting "run-in" if they'd gotten any speed up heading for it. "Train handling" is an issue with CSX with lots of fresh meat on the extra board. |

First, I guess the Marble Hill Station to GCT would not work out in the morning rush hour.Second, couldn't NYCT run express trains in the peak direction from 242 to 103rd or 96th Street and then express to 42nd St. (to slightly reduce commuter time)? |

Why not a shuttle train? |

Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Fri Jul 19 18:39:31 2013, in response to Shuttle bus service: Yonkers RR to VCP-242 St (1) train; (MNRR Hudson line Freight Derailment), posted by Gold_12th on Fri Jul 19 02:41:11 2013. Obviously they can't borrow too many, but why can't MNRR borrow one or two Amtrak P32s (and possibly crews)? They could run a shuttle from NYP to Yonkers and save a lot of this bustitution nonsense... |

Amtrak does not have spare equipment, I'm sure. NYP has only 21 tracks for 3 railroads. I'm sure all slots are well taken up. |

They are in the process of rebuilding those locomotives, right? It's not like they'd break the bank installing the control equipment to trigger shoe retraction. And once the rebuild engines (how many are out at a time, 1? 2? 3?) return they'd gain the margin to have a few locomotives which cannot operate into GCT. These units would be completely capable of operating Wassaic, Danbury, and Poughkeepsie shuttle trains.If you don't want to drive a train there, that's fine, just say so. But don't throw up technical FUD as some reason it cannot be done. |

WillD stick to things you know about, as for locomotives that is not it....FRA requires maintenance on any and all equipment installed, putting pneumatic piping and controls on locomotive not only adds to maintenance cost it also adds to unsprung weight on truck. which results in rail and wheel wear. and all for something you may need once in 20 years ?? |

The long view is that the entire third rail system of MN/LI needs to either become cross compatible or go away in favor of catenary. This proprietary crap is way past obsolete. Anyone for link and pin couplers? |

I would happily carve that out of five sided waste fraud and abuse. As to the advantages of standardization... and why shouldn't there be equipment sharing/run through services? We all know the Central and the Pennsy each believed they were uniquely able to design perfection--that era is over. Preserving multiple third raildesigns is like keeping Beta and VHS. My tuppence |

Seems to me once a single national PTC standard evolves, that issue will be moot. IINM Amtrak and most Class I freight diesels are cross compatible with whatever cab signal systems they are likely to encounter on the various host RRs. The Class Is figured that out so they wouldn't have to shuffle leader units on run through power, surely MN and LIRR can learn from them. |

CSX sued the crap out of the site back in 2005, so it's been slim pickin's ever since. Employees get watched and if they go anywhere NEAR there, they end up working for CPRail instead. So recent events aren't there since folks are scared to go there. CSX isn't QUITE as bad as it was under John Snow, but it's still good old CSX just the same. God, I miss Conrail. :( |

But it gets worse. This is something I was handed and given the okey-dokey to post as long as no names are ever involved. We all knew BLET was going to go to shit under the Teamstas, but that the FRA isn't enforcing either was quite the shock ... :( The "dumpster diver" may not have been qualified! ALERT....ALERT.... |

Or in MY case, Barry Goldwater. Ronald Reagan was his own favorite vegetable. :)Yeah, life isn't happy in CSX land. Hit the local gin mill earlier after posting the link and was asking why nobody does CSX-SUCKS anymore. To my surprise, they still do, just not as obviously. There's forums on there and lo and behold, after being told the story of how short-sheeted the railroad is and talking about Quebec, got told the story of how they're handling their "industrials" (like MNRR) with whatever they can throw at the jobs. :( |

It is the train table. HO scale track does not expand or contract all that much, the the humidity can cause major expansion or shrinking of the train table. This is what causes the kinks that derail your trains.In any event, I have it on the highest authority that a MONSTER reached out and pulled that train over. If you inspect that train you will find that the 'container' carrying Uranium deuturide oxide is missing. The MONSTER appears to be fabricating an unclean pressure disruptive device. ROAR |
