Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Fri May 22 09:23:32 2020 Tuscarora Almanac – May 22, 1907 – The Book of First Runs Upper Darby, Pennsylvania Philadelphia & Western Railroad The Philadelphia and Western Railroad begins electric interurban service between the 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby and Strafford, Pennsylvania. In 1911 it was extended half a mile to the PRR Strafford Station. A branch line from Villanova Junction to Norristown opened in 1912 and quickly became the main line. The section between Villanova and Strafford was abandoned on March 23, 1956. Source: “Red Arrow Lines in Color” (Morning Sun Books / 2014) by Mr. Douglas E.

Eastbound freight NY-4 out of Syracuse collided with westbound freight ND-5. The crash resulted in the deaths of five railroad employees and the destruction of six engines and eleven cars. The engines on NY-4 were RS-32 2020, GP-35 2384 and U30B 2835. The engines on ND-5 were RS-3 5305, FA 1064, FB 3333 and 3359.

The car bodies were reportedly transported by truck to the Corona Yard. (They must have been removed from the el by crane.) The damaged end of 8507 was cut off and transported to the Coney Island Yard. R-30 8507 was later scrapped but 8545 returned to service around June of 1977. (Does anyone have more detail? This one sounds very interesting.)

All cars which still have marker lights will now display Red-Red aspects on the front and rear of the train. Source: New York Division Bulletin / June 1991 Larry, RedbirdR33 |

It was located near Grand Av between Jefferson Blvd and Santa Barbara Av (now Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd). I think also, LATL Division 3 in Cypress Park because bus-only at this time, it remains in service today.

At some point N/O Beebe Av interlocking and S/O Astoria Blvd there were signs indicating “End of signal control.” S/B lvg Ditmars, the Tw/M had to give a call on signal to all trains lined up for the middle tk although the actual display was 3 yellows instead of the usual double red over yellow. For yard moves or other moves into non revenue trackage, 3 yellows requires the same restriction as the double red over yellow except that the T/O doesn’t have to stop and activate the manual stop arm release button. |
