Whiting Junction, IN 1982 vs 2018

This location is Whiting Junction in Whiting, Indiana. By this time of the top 1982 photo, the PRR Fort Wayne Line had been severed to the east between a drawbridge and Clarke Junction. Conrail was still using one of these three tracks to access a refinery to the east of here. The single track crossing is the B&OCT branch that ran from the lakefront to their mainline. The foundation of the tower is still visible is the bottom photo, which was taken on August 25, 2018. The PRR trackage was removed in 1993.

TWO CN Railroad trains MEET at Wellsboro, IN 2012!

 I returned to Wellsboro to record the heavy train traffic, and was not disappointed. I caught a meet between two CN trains on the Battle Creek line. This is the former Grand Trunk Western Railroad. Both trains clear the diamond at almost the same time! Note that the bell for the railroad crossing gate stops before the gate lowers. The first train is carrying ship containers on the rear. "CELEBATE! CELEBRATE! DANCE TO THE RAILFAN MUSIC!" Filmed on June 10, 2012.

O Scale Layout At Danbury RWY Museum

 Here is a brief look at the O Scale Model Train Layout at the Danbury Railway Museum in Danbury, CT. A CB&Q GP30 hauls a short freight, while a Genesis diesel in New Haven garb totes a commuter train. This O Scale Train Layout is largely devoted to the New Haven Railroad, whose former yard is now the museum's base of operations. O Scale is the same gauge as Lionel, and these layouts can be 4X8. A Lionel track plan will take much more space than HO.
