She was moved from CADRAIL in Lachine to CN’s Pte-St. Charles Yard for testing, and In a light power move N SBK05 17 departed CN’s Pte-St. Charles Oct 17th with CN 4774 and BCOL 4615 and hours later arrived at CN-Taschereau Yard. Freshly painted CN (BCOL) 4615 was ready to head out the next day, and arrived in Toronto-Mac Yard on October 18th (Dave Parker photo), and on October 22nd she was a trailing unit on Westbound CN Train #853 at Dauphin, MB. http://railfan.thegrebs.com/CN/CN_BCR_4615_Toronto_ON_Oct_18_08_Dave_Parker http://www.myrailfan.com/collection/CN/BCOL_4615/BCOL_4615_CAD_1.jpg (Jan.2008, before new paint) CN has ordered another 25 SD70M-2’s which are to be numbered from 8850 to 8874. These will be similar in appearance to the previous order, but will have a few internal improvements. The CN’s 8800-series are equipped with an Automatic Start when the pressure is down to 105 lbs, and these locomotives start up with an “air starter” (which is similar to the MLW-built M630’s).

    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.

For many years Syracuse has been world famous for III) the manner in which it has entertained its guests. In Syracuse a guest immediately feels that its people are taking him into their hearts to make sure that his stay is both pleasant and profitable. Syracuse has had much experience in handling large crowds. For many years it has been the home of the great New York State Fair, one of the .greatest expositions of its kind in America. Such conventions as the World's Dairy Congress, the American Foundrymen's Association, State Democratic, the Elks, Knights of Columbus, ete., have proven Syracuse's ability to care for meetings of major im- portance. For smaller meetings, the fact that many organizations return to Syracuse year after year, without solicitation, is the best evidence of the wonderful treatment which has been accorded them by Syracuse business men and hotels. Syracuse has a regularly organized Convention Bureau as a division of the Chamber of Commerce, which is avail- able at all times to assist convention organizations in f" making arrangements and to see that their needs are promptly supplied. Any data on Syracuse's convention facilities can be readily obtained by writing to this organization. Bon'Vention. ~otels HE hotels of Syracuse are particularly well equipped and qualified to handle conventions. They have been hosts to conventions for many years and experience has shown them the way to care properly for any type of convention meeting.

  • The Legendary Empire State Express History the 1890’S Were the Hay-Day of the American Railroad Industry
    The Legendary Empire State Express History The 1890’s were the hay-day of the American railroad industry. The aggressive spiderlike consolidations of the New York Central Railway by the industrial barons of the day, Erastus Corning and Cornelius Vanderbilt came under a cloud of negative public popularity. To change this image, the NYC embarked upon breaking the world train speed record just before the Chicago World Exposition in 1893. On May 10, 1893 on a run between Buffalo and Syracuse the specially designed train was the first vehicle to achieve over 100 miles per hour, reaching the unheard of speed of 112 miles per hour. The engine behind this record was the legendary 999 which was rebuilt and now is located at the Chicago Museum. The Collinwood Yards The Collinwood Yards are one of the principal repair facilities and freight transfer points of the New York Central railroad, originated in 1874 when it established a rail center in the village of Collinwood. A brick roundhouse was built to house and repair locomotives; nearby, a machine shop, housing an engine room, blacksmith shop, and an office was constructed with upstairs apartments for the use of the road's employees. The freight transfer yards were located on the south side of the main tracks, with extensive stock yards north of them. In 1874 at least 500 engineers, firemen, brakemen, conductors, and other employees made their headquarters near the yard to handle the 72 freight trains arriving daily. As the railroad grew, so did the village of Collinwood, with its population reaching about 3,200 by the 1890s.
