It appears that I've captured this C&O unit at Trowbridge Jct and at Plymouth, Michigan. Thanks to Gregg Pullano for helping to determine that the Track gang photos were taken at Plymouth, MI Part of the Track Gang : http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-48804 Near Trowbridge Tower: h...

Thanks to Gregg for knowing how to do the research and to Pete Mayor...he gave me the courage to ask for help ... it is hard to admit that I didn't keep proper location records. As a younger railfan it never occured to me that details of my photo trips would be forgotten...I didn't plan ahead.

Just uploaded 16 images from the past. Here's the most important one: http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-48802 If someone could tell me where I found this track gang, the information would be appreciated. It should be in Michigan ?? With some help, I'll be able to add a caption whe...

The year should be 1989 - 1990 ... The location is unknown.....perhaps between Toledo and Sandusky. If you can provide any information - I'll add it to the caption. How often did this train run ??? Thanks, Larry Admin edit: here's the photos I think Larry meant to include: http://www.railroadfan.com...

In the uncropped photo there is a Water Storage Tower in the picture which was lettered New Buffalo.

Thanks for quessing........

This is the first uploaded image from my 1989 trip to Michigan. An identifying structure has been cropped out........so I know where the picture was taken. If you would like to make a guess...Good Luck. http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-43781 Other images will follow, and many of ...

This is the last series in my collection of Derailment Images. The first group was a C&O incident at Harrison Road- Trowbridge JCT from the 60's. The railroad works alone with tools and a Big Hook. The quality is poor due to low light and my lack of camera experience. The second group is on the West...

This url takes you to the NYC Geep image from 1964-1965 that was a "mystery"location.

Before I write the information for these images, I would appreciate comments on the correct track location.

Thanks, Larry

Found some additional slides of the steam locomotive approaching Trowbridge Jct in 1965. Perhaps these views will provide further hints ! Perhaps the url may change as other images are uploaded ?? but they are in the correct order below: http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-42792 htt...

Perhaps this train has brought a group to MSU for a football game ?????

Don't remember the event and I'm not sure about the location. Could it be the siding to the 'old' power plant off Shaw Road ????

Thanks for any comments, Larry

As a new member...I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone. I appreciate the views of my images, the interesting comments, and the photo 'repairs' . Now, I'm really enjoying the comparison shots that have been captured at the locations I visited 40 years ago. I have a new " Where Is It" ...hope someone...

Pete Mayor has used his skill to upgrade/repair my photos of the GTW Coaling Tower - west of Trowbridge AND the 10,000 C & O Horsepower shot U2B-GP35-U25B-U25B. The originals ,with comments, have been deleted and replaced. http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=892&pos=7 http://ww...

Question: If I have current era 1990-2007 pictures of Garrett,Indiana -Butler,Indiana - Deshler,OH- Fostoria,OH - Willard OH ... may I place them in my gallery ? These would not be scans from slides...so the quality would be better than my 40+ year old vintage stuff. Seems that the pictures posted f...

Pete Mayor has completed more research on one of my photos from 1964 Some ideas have been put in the comments section for the NYC Geep photo...where the picture is looking down on the unit. Comments with the photo mention 496 - Kzoo??, I could use some more help. Quess 496 is Interstate 496...... Th...

Here is the location of Pete Mayor's research photo of Cavanaugh Yard. He has duplicated my location from 1964 and placed the original image on top of his photo taken from the same location.

J T,

Recent upload: NYC Turntable.......Any thoughts on how far from Grand River this was located ??

Thanks, Larry

Sorry, I really can't provide more information on the location of the GTW units in my avatar. Had to be in walking distance of Trowbridge. Read the directions on why organization requires gallery albums so........ Just Uploaded 2 Images of NYC Geeps 5810 and 5820. These scans were from slides taken ...
