		Railroad Research Resources -- Randy Hees, SPCRR ^Votes:0 Railroad Research Resources -- Randy Hees, SPCRR This document is an attempt to provide a guide to available resources related to railroad history. This is by no means a compete listing, but is intended to be a starting point. Railroad Histories Railroads and their history have been a hobby for many. Railroad history books are numerous. Many are not the scholarly history you might hope for, instead they are written as entertainment. While the scholarship and research may be good, sources are frequently not cited (one exception is photos) with the exception of bibliographies (sometimes even these are missing). These books are good for both developing a background for further research and helping establish dates and other facts which allow you to find additional information. I recommend the Read More Go to Site

		Buffalo Central Terminal ^Votes:0 Buffalo Central Terminal from 1929 to the Present Heralded as one of the premier examples of railroad art deco architecture when it was built in 1929, the New York Central's Buffalo Central Terminal is an imposing and majestic building. In 1967 the New York Central RR and the Pennsylvania RR merged, forming the Penn Central system, the terminal's second owner. Amtrak took over the majority of the inter-city passenger service in the United States in 1971 and used Central Terminal as its Buffalo terminus until October 28, 1979 when the terminal was abandoned. At the end of August 1997 the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation took possession of this grand old edifice with the primary focus on restoration and preservation of this landmark site.

Input a valid email address. --> Railroads influenced just about every aspect of American history and life from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries. They became America's first really big business, and still play a vital role in the national economy. Beginning with the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, trains brought settlers to California and shipped many of the products of the Golden State to markets throughout North America. The state's rapid development into the sixth largest economy in the world was made possible, to a great extent, by the railroad. It all began with four Sacramento storekeepers and a visionary, but persuasive, civil engineer. The following categories are folders containing brief history Read More Go to Site

		Dunderberg Spiral Railway: History ^Votes:0 History of the Dunderberg Spiral Railway The model for the Dunderberg Spiral Railway (DSR) was the Mumford brothers' Switch Back Railroad of Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania. The cars there went up one inclined plane, coasted down a "back track", went up a second inclined plane, and coasted a short way again to the terminal, nine miles west of Mauch Chunk. The cars then coasted all the way back on the "down track". Despite the name, the part of the railroad used for the excursion service was relatively straight and was simply a "double-twisted figure 8", meaning the down track passed under the other line twice. One of the advertised features was reaching 50 miles per hour near the end of the down track. But as successful as it was, the Switch Back was up in the Lehigh Valley, too far for a day tr Read More Go to Site

After gathering about 200 stations, I decided to construct a web site. While researching these stations has been personally rewarding, I feel that sharing this information on the Internet helps others who are interested in the history and preservation of classic railroad stations.

		Exotic Diesel Locomotives ^Votes:0 Exotic Diesel Locomotives Do you like trains? Do you love diesel locomotives? Do you love the sleek cab units from Alco, Baldwin, EMD, and Fairbanks Morse? If you do, you've come to the right place. Here you'll find pictures and information about the Alco PA and FA, Baldwin Sharknoses and Babyfaces, FM Erie units and C-liners, and EMD E and F units. In my opinion, the cab unit diesels built shortly before and after World War II were the most beautiful diesels ever built. They were sleek and colorful, in stark contrast to the often dull looking steam locomotives that dominated the rails. Don't get me wrong, I like steamers too, but the colorful diesel brought a new, vibrant look, to the railroads. Who can seriously argue that the Alco PA was not the best looking diesel locomotive ever built Read More Go to Site

		Ghosts of the Southline ^Votes:0 In the isolated desert region of southeast Arizona, and along the Mexican border area of southern New Mexico, not much has changed in the past century. This part of the country is still primarily ranch country, just as it has been since white man first occupied the area. One major development that occurred in this area during 1902 was the construction of the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad. Originally built by Phelps Dodge Corp. to ship copper anodes from its Copper Queen mine near Bisbee, Arizona, to its smelters located in El Paso, Texas. This railroad was later extended to Tucson, Arizona, and went to become a transportation lifeline for the region, providing ranchers and local communities with a connection to the outside world. Like most railroads, numerous towns were built along the r Read More Go to Site

The GM&O's Alton Route was one of my favorite lines and one that I rode very often in the 1960's and on into the AMTRAK era. I am particularly fond of the GM&O's former passenger operations, which always had a tremendous amount of enduring character. I have now added material that encompasses the southern Rebel Route freight and passenger operations. Diesel fans will find that the Diesel Album has been expanded as well. Most of this material has never been on the web or previously published. I am aware that many of these pages are slow loading, particularly if you have a older machine or slower modem.

		Growing up around the Northern Pacific Railroad in the ^Votes:0 Growing up around the Northern Pacific Railroad in the ?1950's and 60's When I was eight years old, steam was finished on the NP. Still, I have a few memories of the engines, thanks to my father, F. B. Thompson, who took me to work with him many times, took hundreds of photos, and stopped to train watch on many Sunday drives. They weren't really Sunday drives, on the extra board, you went on drives when you could! Over the years, I rode with him as often as possible, and became a decent photographer myself, although most of my photos are in the NP to BN transition era. ? Over the years, several other railroaders have left me their collections of negatives and prints, and so now I have a large collection I'd like to share, along with some memories.

		Hoboken Shore Railroad Homepage ^Votes:0 Welcome to the Hoboken Shore Railroad Home Page! So... What's the Hoboken Shore? Glad you asked! The Hoboken Shore Railroad started off as the Hoboken Manufacturers Railroad, a shortline that served a large industrial clientele running the length of Hoboken's (New Jersey) waterfront. The line had tight curves, street trackage, a float bridge - all elements that endeared the railroad to its fans. Here's a map to get you acquainted with the railroad. The railroad was renamed the "Hoboken Shore Railroad" in 1954, solely for the reason that "it sounded better!" Traffic started dropping off as industry on the Hoboken waterfront began closing down and moving out. The railroad operated in a limited fashion until at least 1977, and filed for abandonment in 1978. Today, very little of the railroad Read More Go to Site

		Introduction ^Votes:0 When Mark Twain viewed Albert Bierstadt's painting The Domes of the Yosemite in 1867, he declared it "altogether too gorgeous," adding that "as a picture, this work must please, but as a portrait, I do not think it will answer. Portraits should be accurate." Despite Twain's suspicion of the lack of verisimilitude in the painting, the New York audience was eager for images of the territory west of the Mississippi. Paintings and sketches of places like Yosemite and Yellowstone suggested that America possessed scenery more majestic than Europe's and that despite the chaos of the Civil War and its aftermath, America was still destined for greatness. The founding of the National Park idea in these two very different Wests was a process by which images of the West were inserted into the national Read More Go to Site

This environment attracted many people with dreams of wealth and while a few of the dreamers succeeded, most did not.

The Northern Pacific (NP) Railway began laying track eastward from Kalama, Washington, in March, 1871, and westward from near Duluth, Minnesota, in July, 1871. The eastern segment of the track reached the Missouri River at Bismarck, North Dakota, in June, 1873.

		SACRAMENTO NORTHERN ON-LINE ^Votes:0 SACRAMENTO NORTHERN ON-LINE Northern Electric 100 rests outside the original Chico depot in a postcard scene mailed in 1907, 100 years ago. NE interurbans made popular postcard subjects in the early days. SN On-line was created as a meeting place and reference for fans of the Sacramento Northern Railway, once one of America's greatest electrified railroads. Unlike many other railroad companies, the SN currently has no historical society dedicated exclusively to preserving and sharing its history. Information about the line is scattered between a number of archives and museums. Nor has there ever been a definitive book on the SN's history, although it has been covered in many lesser works and articles.

		The Birth of California's Narrow Gauge Railroads ^Votes:0 The Birth of California's Narrow Gauge Railroads "Promoting the Discussion of the History, Development, and Preservation of Narrow Gauge Railroads in California" The name of this page comes from the proposed title of a new book by Bruce MacGregor. The book will cover the beginnings of California's narrow gauge movement, tracing the first six lines built - the Monterey and Salinas Valley, the Santa Cruz Railroad, the Santa Cruz and Felton, the Santa Clara Valley, the North Pacific Coast, and the Nevada County Narrow Gauge. A common thread found tying together all these efforts is the presence of Thomas and Martin Carter and their company, the Carter Brothers. Publication is expected in the next two years.

On Saturday morning May 29, 1909, the first steam-powered passenger train into Centerville received a hearty welcome. A cannon was fired, the locomotive was decorated with flags, and the train crew was presented with Centerville's choicest fruits and flowers. But for more than a year after this celebration, local Centerville citizens complained about the boxcar that served as the town depot. Before any improvement could be made, property had to be purchased and Niles Road (later renamed Peralta Boulevard) had to be relocated to make room for a full-sized depot.

		The Dustball Express ^Votes:0 The Dustball Express Building an N-scale model railroad under your bed Most people who build model railroads are lucky enough to live in places that have lots and lots of space. A few of us are crazy enough to live in Manhattan shoebox apartments and have to improvise if we want to build anything more than the simplest circle of track. I started with that circle of track, but it got dull after a while so the rails grew and grew and the space under my bed got more and more crowded. Thankfully, it eventually got less dusty too. I have to confess that I'm really quite new to model railroading. I'm not spending my days in railyards looking for authentic buildings to model in balsa, nor do I worry too much about prototypes.

He smiled happily. This was going to be an experience he'd want to remember forever. He leaned over and groped around under the seat until he located the flap of his green backpack. From inside, he extracted a pen and the brand new black and white composition notebook his mother had bought him before leaving for their trip.

The AER began life as the Manitoulin & North Shore Railway. It was absorbed by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1931 and is now part ghost railway, part unused rusting rail line and part active railway. The story of the AER is the story of the early development of nickel mining & smelting in the Sudbury district and the opening up of Manitoulin Island. Hopefully, it will also be the story of a modern resurrection of this historical line as a Northern Ontario tourist attraction.
