Not too many years ago, the story was so vastly different. The Indian's travel over rough trails ~ and waterways was slow and laborious. The canoe, the piroque, the horse and crude travois were all he knew. Such were the circumstances in which Father Marquette 'Wheels a-Bolling' and Joliet found the Indians when the French voyageurs reached the shore of Lake Michigan in 1673. With the R.

  • The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway
    The 1825 S&DR: Preparing for 2025; Significance & Management. The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit Volume 1: Significance & Management October 2016 Archaeo-Environment for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton on Tees Borough Council. Archaeo-Environment Ltd for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton Borough Council 1 The 1825 S&DR: Preparing for 2025; Significance & Management. Executive Summary The ‘greatest idea of modern times’ (Jeans 1974, 74). This report arises from a project jointly commissioned by the three local authorities of Darlington Borough Council, Durham County Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council which have within their boundaries the remains of the Stockton & Darlington Railway (S&DR) which was formally opened on the 27th September 1825. The report identifies why the S&DR was important in the history of railways and sets out its significance and unique selling point. This builds upon the work already undertaken as part of the Friends of Stockton and Darlington Railway Conference in June 2015 and in particular the paper given by Andy Guy on the significance of the 1825 S&DR line (Guy 2015). This report provides an action plan and makes recommendations for the conservation, interpretation and management of this world class heritage so that it can take centre stage in a programme of heritage led economic and social regeneration by 2025 and the bicentenary of the opening of the line. More specifically, the brief for this Heritage Trackbed Audit comprised a number of distinct outputs and the results are summarised as follows: A. Identify why the S&DR was important in the history of railways and clearly articulate its significance and unique selling point.

  • Coal District Scenario Pack 01
    Realistic Contemporary and Historical Scenarios for Train Simulator Coal District Scenario Pack 01 About High Iron Simulations We began serving the Train Simulator community in October 2012 by developing and publishing free Train Simulator scenarios to Steam Workshop — and we're pleased that our series of more than 300 Steam Workshop free scenarios have been downloaded by Train Simulator enthusiasts more than 750,000 times. As a Train Simulator Partner Programme member, we collaborate with Dovetail Games to produce realistic scenario packs for Train Simulator routes. The Norfolk Southern Coal District Route What was, historically, the Monongahela Railway is today owned by Norfolk Southern and is often referred to as NS’s “MGA Mine District,” or simply the “Mon.” South from the Brownsville area and east of the river is the Monongahela’s old Eastern Division (now known as the Loveridge Secondary), which reaches deep into West Virginia. And from West Brownsville, a group of interlinked “branches” – the West Brownsville branch, Ten Mile Run branch, Manor branch, and Waynesburg Southern branch – combine into what was the Monongahela’s West Division. The Monongahela was incorporated in 1900 as a joint venture of two railroads - the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie (which was controlled by the equally mighty New York Central) in order to tap the coal fields of southwest Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. In1927, yet another eastern railroad giant – the Baltimore & Ohio – acquired a one-third interest in the expanding Monongahela, thus joining PRR and P&LE as owners. By 1930, the Monongahela was operating more than 170 miles of track and served more than a half-dozen active coal mines.
