Maybe it’s time to get back to the layout, clean off some track, and get it running again. Or maybe it’s time to hit the workbench and build that kit you bought at a hobby shop you visited while on vacation. Or perhaps it’s time to think about how to turn your dream layout into reality. Cooler weather tends to get the model railroading juices flowing again. If you’re reading this magazine, chances are that at least some of your modeling seeks to recapture, in miniature, some of the glory of the mighty New York Central System. It wasn’t all four-track main line and water-level route, you know. There were dozens of single-track branches and secondary lines, some very mountainous. And it wasn’t all Hudsons, Mohawks, or Niagaras hauling sixteen-car limiteds. But it all had a character of its own: a character that was spelled N-Y-C. To capture that character you need to drink up as much NYC atmosphere as possible. This magazine, available to you free through the generosity of the New York Central System Historical Society, is a wonderful resource. But membership in the NYCSHS offers much, much more. For starters, members receive a quarterly magazine, Central Headlight. Every issue is filled with photos and articles that recapture the essence of the New York Central System. And there are many other benefits, too numerous to recount here. So if you’re not yet a member of the NYCSHS, how about it? Now’s the time! October would be a very favorable time for you to join. Why? Because all new members will receive both the 3rd and 4th Quarter 2016 issues of Central Headlight plus all four issues coming up in 2017. That’s six great issues of our highly acclaimed magazine for the price of four. You can’t beat that. Let us welcome you aboard! This Quarter’s Central Headlight features articles on the 2016 NYCSHS Convention, the Norwalk Branch of the NYC, Hudson 5200, a story about growing up in Haldimand County in the Be sure to read the Ontario province surrounded by steam exciting news trains, a story about NYC G-6 about our new Consolidation #2976, some of the NYCSHS railroads that crossed the Michigan Headquarters and Central main in Albion, MI, the the Flight of the memories of a machinist of steam Century campaign engines, and lots of great NYCS photos. on page 100.

  • 2009 MTA Annual Performance Review
    PERMANENT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE MTA REPRESENTING MTA RIDERS SINCE 1981 2009 Annual Performance Review of The MTA and Its Operating Agencies Introduction The PCAC’s 2009 Performance Review marks our third report summarizing the accomplishments and continuing challenges of the MTA and its operating agencies. This report addresses a number of broad themes such as leadership, transparency, organizational structure, service performance, communication, and accessibility. These themes relate to the ability of the MTA and its operating agencies to deliver service effectively to the riders that we represent. While PCAC is vitally concerned about the critical issue of the almost $800 million operating funding shortfall from Albany, which is part of ongoing dialogues that the PCAC and its Councils maintain with public officials and the MTA operating agencies, this larger issue is outside the scope of this report. The PCAC is encouraged by the MTA leadership’s initial steps to make the overall organization more effective and efficient, and we intend our report to complement this effort. At the same time we are well aware that internal efficiencies are not enough to prevent serious damage to the system due to state funding shortfalls.1 The PCAC recognizes that some of the issues raised in the report are the subject of ongoing work by the MTA and its agencies, the body of this document addresses issues pertaining to the 2009 calendar year. Several related developments from 2010 are included as footnotes to the Review. The PCAC and its Councils are not legislatively mandated to address the operations of MTA Bridges and Tunnels or MTA Long Island Bus; consequently they are not addressed in this document.

    MacQuesten Companies Purchases Mount Vernon West Train Station HEZI ARIS 4:09PM • JULY 18, 2016 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, FINANCE, GOVERNANCE, HISTORY, MT. VERNON, TRAVEL 1 COMMENT Developer Reinforces Commitment to Mount Vernon’s Revitalization Mount Vernon West station is situated on Metro North’s Harlem Line. Mount Vernon City Seal in gold and maroon. PELHAM, NY — July 18, 2016 — In an acquisition that reaffirms and expands its already significant investment in the economic revival of the City of Mount Vernon, the MacQuesten Companies has purchased the strategically significant Mount Vernon West station on Metro-North’s Harlem Line. While the station’s platforms are owned by Metro-North, the station building has been privately owned since it was sold in 1959 by the original owner, the New York Central Railroad. MacQuesten bought the property from Davenis Realty Inc. for $3 million. The closing was July 14. At just 13.1 miles, Mount Vernon West is the closest station in Westchester County to Grand Central Terminal, a 22-minute ride. The station has a number of commercial tenants including a Chase Bank and several small businesses. The City of Mount Vernon is eager to transform the area from industrial uses to residential and retail development. A reimagined Metro-North station will serve as the focal point for a renaissance of a large surrounding area. “This is an underutilized property that cries out for revitalization,” said Rella Fogliano, President of the MacQuesten Companies, who has made several major investments in the city over the last several years. “The key to revitalizing and reimagining our urban areas is capitalizing on the mass transit opportunities that are already in place.
