A meeting for the ages. Modern Amtrak passes my AmSteam.

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.

A commuter train goes over a bridge over a body of water. It’s led by a locomotive painted green, with a lightning stripe on the side, and lettered New York Central.

The AmSteam is running! This time without any hiccups.

don’t talk to me or my son ever again

Emma Nevada creeps the smog next to an errant moose on Patrick Reedy’s Piso Mojado Railway.

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.

Why does this actually look good??

Two images, made to look like old book pages, the text is a history of my fictional Railroad the Tuckasegee River Railroad, I've edited screenshots to look like black and white photos.

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.

A two track private light railway (basically a late 1800s LRT) became the busy quadruple track JR-Higashi Chuo Corridor we see today. Showing how continuous focused incremental upgrades over decades can really build out a system.

Late paint turbos on the Hudson 🥹 @whiskeynachos.bsky.social @bsquiklehausen.com

10 NYC&HR coal jennies ready for priming and painting.

Coal jennies have been built. 10 in all but I do have 3 more unbuilt.
Next is to prime them.

And I’d call that done for now, a pleasant evening project!

I mean, it is an incredibly dangerous way to move railcars on adjacent tracks. You don't want to be impaled by a giant splinter!
