NIAGARA JUNCTION RAILWAY EASTBOUND TRAIN ROLLS PAST A HUGE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX - NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK - JULY 3, 1977 Being it's "Switcher Sunday", we may as well have a 2nd section of Niagara Junction.

A black and white picture from around 1900.  It shows a short passenger train at a  station going away from the viewer, just behind and above there is another train passenger climbing up a bridge about 20 feet (6 meters) above.  Further in the background a mind train crosses a high metal trestle.

I hate when model railroaders keep squeezing in more track and more bridges into a scene. So unprototypical.

City Island's monorail in 1910.

#DidYouKnow City Island in the #Bronx once had its own #monorail? When the monorail opened in 1910, it was the only monorail in the United States. It ran from Bartow Station (a now long-forgotten ruin inside Pelham Bay Park) to Marshall's Corner, and over a bridge to the tip of City Island.

Hung out at my friend Patrick’s G gauge layout today and he had a small portable smoke machine and… things got out of hand fast.

A few years ago I managed to get hold of the fantastic book on American shortlines called Mixed Train Daily, decided to make a bit of a love letter to it based on my save in Railroader...

It is just wild that the time taken to travel between Tokyo and Osaka was:

1930: 9 hours with steam
1958: 6 hours with electrics
1964: 4 hours with the Shinkansen

Today, it's under 2h30.
