Vol. 15 June 2008 No. 6 Vol. 15 June 2008 No. 6 June Program: The Montour Railroad presented by Bob Ciminel The Montour Railroad was a 42-mile-long coal-hauling railroad that operated for over a century in the coal fields southwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Using a stable of SW -9 switchers, the Montour moved tons of black diamonds from the world-famous Pittsburgh coal seam to interchanges with the P&LE, PRR, P&W V, B&O, and Union railroads. During W orld W ar II, Montour 2-8-2 Mikado serviced 27 mines along the railroad’s main track and three branches. Abandoned and scrapped in 1983, the Montour right-of-way survives as the Montour Trail, a popular hiking and biking venue for Pittsburgh’s growing suburban population. Come to the June meeting of the Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS, and learn more about this fallen short line. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. 6:00 p.m. Charley’s Restaurant. 707 Graves Mill Rd. Lynchburg, VA.

I would like to include chapter historical happenings as well as individual’s recollections of their favorite times in the Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS. The issue will be the biggest ever published with YOUR help. I chose September for several reasons. It will give everyone a chance to write up something special for the issue.

Thanks, Norris Deyerle, National Director, Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS BRC, NRHS Officers and Editor of the BRD contact info: www.blueridgenrhs.org National Director’s Page By Norris Deyerle May 11, 2008 was a unique Mother’s Day for my family as well as other families across the country. As families were celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Mother’s Day, my wife Peggy and I welcomed our second grandchild into the world. Victoria “Grace” Johnson was born at 7:35 pm. at Lynchburg General Hospital. She was 7 lbs. and 20 inches long. She’s a cute little girl with blue eyes and lots of black hair. Her Mom and Dad, our daughter Jacky and her husband Patrick Johnson are very proud parents. Her little brother “Little Pat” will have a new playmate when she gets a little older. When she was twelve days old we all had a huge scare. Grace developed MRSA. For those of you that are not familiar with MRSA, it’s a form of staph infection. She was rushed to UVA Hospital in Charlottesville where she had two drainage tubes inserted in her chest. She stayed in the hospital for seven days. I’m happy to report that Grace and her parents are back safe at home in Lynchburg. All of us owe a great deal of praise and a big thanks to the UVA doctors. Peggy and I would like to thank all of you for your kind words and prayers. In the past month I’m glad to report that I didn’t hear of any Blue Ridge Chapter members that are ill. Every month I try to keep everyone informed about any members or their family members that are ill. Please continue to contact me if you hear of anyone that is ill so I can get the word out. I would like to thank the following BRC members that are helping me distribute 1000 Lynchburg Rail Day 2008 fliers: Tom Ledford, Robin Shavers, John Tanner, Rick Johnson and Fred Mayer. I owe a big thanks to our Webmaster John Siegle for getting the fliers printed and for John Tanner arranging the “Hot Tip Deal” on the printing costs. In the May 2008 issue of the “NRHS News” there’s a very nice write up on Lynchburg Rail Day 2008. I would like to thank “NRHS News” Editor Charles Williams for getting the announcement that I sent him in that issue. Every NRHS member gets a copy! 5 Several other railroad historical societies are also promoting our train show. Thanks! And last but not least, I want to thank George Riley of Carstens Publications for getting the LRD 2008 Train Show announcements in “Model Railroad Craftsman” and “Railfan & Railroad”.

  • Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040
    Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040 4.5 RAIL TRANSPORTATION The North Carolina Railroad between Greensboro and Raleigh is an important transportation link. The communities along the corridor and their economies are growing. Improvements to the railroad are important for mobility, freight movement, and safety. Much of the corridor remains on the alignment laid out in the mid-1800s, which envisioned maximum train speeds of 45 mph. As part of the federally- designated Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor, this segment of railroad will need significant improvements for capacity and speed (NCDOT). Passenger Rail Three AMTRAK trains operate through the historic passenger rail terminal in High Point (Carolinian-Piedmont Schedule, 2012) (Crescent Schedule, 2012). Table 4.5-1 shows the trains, scheduled departure time, route and direction of the trains. To support passenger rail service, the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation provides connector service from the AMTRAK station to Winston-Salem for trains 73, 74, and 76. Time schedules and fare information are available at: http://www.bytrain.org/docs/5AmtrakConnectorweb.pdf.

  • Cardinal ROUTE GUIDE
    CARDINAL ROUTE GUIDE CHICAgo • INDIANAPOLIS • CINCINNATI • WASHINgtoN, DC • NEW YORK We hope you enjoy reading this guide and learning about points of interest along our route. It is written starting from the northeastern terminus of the train in New York and proceeds to points southwest and west, ending in Chicago. If you boarded in Chicago, just read the guide in reverse, remembering to look in the opposite direction if referenced. AMTRAK STATIONS are shown in all capital letters, as opposed to upper and lower case for towns and geographical areas through which the train travels but does not stop. The Amtrak System Timetable or the Cardinal panel card should be consulted for actual station times. While all service presented in this guide was accurate at the time of publication, routes and services are subject to change. Please contact Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL, visit Amtrak.com, or call your travel agent for the most current information. Between the front door of America’s Eastern Seaboard, Amtrak’s famous Northeast Corridor, and the equally well- known delights of the Windy City, Chicago, lies the gateway to the American South and the unparalleled wonders of the journey westward through America’s mid-Atlantic and southeastern heartlands. From twinkling Northeast cityscapes to famous Civil War battlefields; from the Blue Ridge Mountain chain and the Shenandoah Valley to West Virginia’s wild and wonderful whitewater rivers; from the fabulous window on geologic history at the New River Gorge to the Kanawha River’s thunder into a 1,300-ft. canyon below; from quiet coal mining towns to the beautifully illuminated nighttime skyline of Charleston, the capital city, and on to the great plains and Chicago – the Cardinal takes you on an unforgettable journey through history and adventure.
