Close thge thread? How 'bouts some final pictures first?

Radio Shack was dissolved as a corporation in Federal Bankruptcy Court. Radio Shack trademarks were purchased by General Wireless, which stated "The Radio Shack Corporation is dead." I walked into one store, and it was clearly a Sprint outlet, selling a few Radio-Shack-branded items apparently for s...

"Radio Shack near you?" Only if you can time travel. RS has been bankrupt and gone for years. But for your needs, any "VHF Hi" scanner on eBay will work, for your purposes. later on you can look at some of the more esoteric equipment and projects, like custom antennas. As for frequencies, there are ...

Pick up a paint scraper and you'll be able to play railroad mechanic a lot sooner.

Okay, any details like WHEN, COST, etc?

And, of course, this could all simply be a well-thought-up prank.

Amtrak typically doesn't acknowledge a reroute of this type until they absolutely have to; it's kinda like playing chicken with the reservations system. There's usually a "lock" on new reservations in the affected area, and then they contact those already with reservations fpor changes, then they op...

Amtrak's earliest days, they ran the NIAGARA RAINBOW Detroit to New York via Canada; last cars were sealed (Diner door locked by Customs) across Canada. Didn't last long, however, due to massive equipment shortages.

The images of the new NS bridge S of Detroit had ben refreshed several months ago. Not a ding or scratch on the plate girder bridge, and nobody had gotten wround to weathering the black paint job yet.

Last night's (and by default, this morning's) Pere Marquette had DOme Lounge 10031, in Phase III paint, in the middle of the train. It's had some body work done since I saw it last -- no dents or dings anywhere.

NOTE: Info refers to the inagery, not what's out there two months later. Add your own field observations if you wish. Interurban: City's done a lot of sewer work along the Interurban ROW South of Plaster Creek; it's pretty much disappeared into manicured ball fields and parking lots. Amtrak: If you...

Google Earth images of Sunnyside, Grand rapids area have just been updated (dated April 14 of this year).

If enough Plymouth citizens read that TRAINS article and notice what hapened in Richmond and acted on the info, I'm sure the problem will quickly go away.

Old toes?

I made a discone antenna. So good it doesn' matter what I attach it to.

New car type: NPBC (non-Powered Bicycle Carriers). 75 to 100 tons (est) hauling a dozen 30-pound bikes. Back in the old days, late 70s and early 80s, there was a fee for AMtrak carrying bicycles but not for large boxes like instruments. SO, I labeled my bike box "Cello-- Handle With Care." No charge...

A movie worth looking up on NetFlix is DETROIT 9000 . Last part was dilmed inside Fort Street Station, just before it was torn down. Big on-foot chase scene with random shooting amongst the dwarf signals at the station and on the viaduct itself. Multiple nice big close-ups. Someone told me they were...
