Unread post by flafiretwo »

This series covers a derailment in 1978 along the Western Maryland tracks. The location is next to Sudbrook Lane in Pikesville...a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland

Hope everyone will enjoy viewing the small Big Hook in action as it works with the Hulcher equipment to repair the damage. Don't miss the Photographer with the 1970's vintage video camera http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayi ... pos=-43121 and the vacuum for grain transfer: http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayi ... pos=-43128

The url for one ot the pictures in the group shows the displaced rail:

Keep meaning to compliment you on all the additional pics you've posted since the MSU stuff. Really cool to see the WM wreck and the Chessie stuff too.
