Train no. 421
Trackage rights have been previously stated to be an integral part of the Cincinnati Terminal operation. Nothing could be more true, because the double track of the B&O west of Ivorydale Junction is a: lifeline over which passes nearly all of the…
Rear of train no. 3, depot and interlocking tower (on stilts) in view
The turnout is for eastwards and the straight shot for westwards at the end of double track at Clarks Hill, hence in this scene the bobtail on the westbound 'Riley' was receding into the prairie at the maximum speed of 79 MPH. Hudson no. 5446 was on…
Train no. 426 at Ivorydale
Trackage rights have been previously stated to be an integral part of the Cincinnati Terminal operation. Nothing could be more true, because the double track of the B&O west of Ivorydale Junction is a: lifeline over which passes nearly all of the…
Train no. 416 passing depot
The staccato voice of the 5415 resumes its chatter as the J-3 swings no. 416 through the turnout from single track to eastward main at Clarks Hill. The pickup waiting at High Street crossing is fouling the Nickel Plate interchange track, but the…
Train no. 312 at Ivorydale
This picture of the 3130 wheeling no. 312 through Ivorydale was taken less than half a mile east of the preceding one (the westbound distant signal for the junction is still faintly discernible in the distance). Ivorydale yard is again out of sight,…
Train no. 419 at depot, water column in view
In this scene at Lafayette depot, the 5402 starts away with the seven cars of no. 419, the westbound local. The passenger and freight stations at Lafayette are operated jointly with the Nickel Plate, whose main tracks are shown in the picture. To…
Train No. 3
With her classic profile outlined against a bright spring sky, J-1 no. 5403 wheels the eight-car 'Riley' smartly up the hill at West Lafayette. The observation-lounge car is just coming off the curve which winds past the Lafayette depot and across…
Rear of train no. 3 passing tri-color bracket signal
The preceding picture encompassed the crisscross patterns of the portion of IJ interlocking east of the tower, and an earlier picture was directed at the portion along the St. Louis line west of it. This one shows the remainder, which lies on the…
Train no. 55, "Advance Empire State Express"
Though deprived of almost all crack passenger hauls by diesel power, the Central's great Niagara 4-8-4 types still make fast spurts between stops on secondary runs. The "Advance Empire State Express” calls for many of these spurts, running on a tight…
Train no. 55 from Bridge St. at searchlight signal mast
This scene needs no definition, since it is the same as the one described in detail four pages back. There is a lull in yard operations as the westbound "Advance Empire" flashes by at 70 m.p.h. behind engine 6009, a Niagara 4-8-4 type. There are…
Train no. 39
Along the Harlem River Ship Canal in the Marble Hill section of the Bronx, New York City, train No. 39 heads west on track 1 at FH interlocking with P-motor 241 and 17 cars. The tower is now gone and the interlocking is remotely controlled from DV…

Train no. 38
A Buffalo-New York local, no. 38, pulls out of Fonda on track 2 behind Niagara 6012. Application of CTC (known as TCS for 'Traffic Control System' on the NYC) has provided bi-directional signalling on tracks 1 and 2, and has resulted in the removal…
