  • Return to the High Iron: the Operation and Interpretation of Mainline Steam Excursions in the United States

    ! ! RETURN TO THE HIGH IRON: THE OPERATION AND INTERPRETATION OF MAINLINE STEAM EXCURSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES by Joseph M. Bryan A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University August 2015! ! ! ! Thesis Committee: Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk ! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family for their unending love and support throughout this entire project. I would like to especially thank my mother for being such an incredible role model whom I look up to everyday. I would also like to thank Dr. Carroll Van West and Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk for their guidance and patience in making this idea become a reality. I would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their assistance in this project: Ron Davis, Fran Ferguson, Cheri George, Trevor Lanier, Jennifer McDaid, John Nutter, Deena Sasser, Jim Wrinn, the Norfolk & Western Historical Society, Norfolk Southern Corporation, the Southern Railway Historical Association and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. Their invaluable support and materials are very much appreciated. Finally, I would like to thank the staff and board of directors of the Virginia Museum of Transportation for deciding to take a chance and restore the Norfolk & Western Class J No. 611 steam locomotive to operable condition and, as a result, providing me with an incredible thesis topic. ii!! ABSTRACT The steam locomotive is one of the most recognizable artifacts from industrial history. After their demise in the mid-twentieth century, those that were not cut up for scrap found homes at new transportation museums and with railroad historical organizations.

    Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia

    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

In 1979, BRASS CAR SIDES began producing photoetched brass HO sides for the coaches and parlors for the 1948 Twin Cities and Olympian Hiawathas, and in 1981 we added the 16-4 "Raymond" and 8-6-4 "River" sleepers for the post-war Pioneer Limited. Since 2002 we have added numerous other side sets in both HO and N-scale for the Olympian Hiawatha and the entire Milwaukee post-war fleet.

    Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey

    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.
