Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Mon Jun 8 07:31:18 2026 Tuscarora Almanac for June 8 1936 – from The Book of Last Runs Buses replace streetcars on the 86th Street (Manhattan) Crosstown. The trolley service had been run by New York Railways. The bus service will be operated by New York City Omnibus as the M-18. This is the last trolley line operated by New York Railways. 1953 – from The Book of Last Runs This is the last day of trolley operation by the Lehigh Valley Transit Company which served Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and Norristown, Pennsylvania.

Source: New York Division Bulletin /May, 1994, article by Mr. Larry Kiss “Change at Ozone Park” (RAE Publishing / 1993) by Mr. Herbert George 1986 – from The Book of Special Runs The Electric Railroaders Association chartered a four car train of R-10’s for a fantrip over various lines of the BMT and IND Divisions.

I asked the crew office to be the motorman on that green R10 fan trip, (and others) but was declined.I never had a godfather or godmother in the crew office to my detriment. They even gave me crap overtime on my RDO's, so I stopped doing it. |

Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Mon Jun 8 18:48:51 2026, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for June 8, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Mon Jun 8 07:31:18 2026. Major rehablitation has begun on light rail trackage along West Colfax Avenue and the loop in downtown Denver. (There's only one Loop, and that's in Chicago.:) No one refers to the light rail loop in Denver as The Loop.). The following adjustments to services have been implemented until this project is completed:The D, H and L lines have been suspended. Passengers from Aurora going downtown will have to take an R train to Bellview and change to an E or T train. I would have run the T to Florida Ave., where H trains terminate, instead of Lincoln. The C line, suspended since the pandemic, has been resurrected. It makes sense, since its service pattern has always been Littleton-Mineral to Union Station. Up until now, they just rerouted D trains to Union Station if the downtown loop was temporarily out of service. The R line is being extended from Lincoln Ave. to Ridgegate Parkway. A temporary T line has been implemented. It runs from Lincoln Ave. to I-25/Broadway. There was a J service pattern, between Nine Mile and Union Station, that was planned when the Southeast Corridor opened, but was never implemented. I can see why they didn't brush it off now. There are already three lines in and out of Union Station. B and G line service has been increased. |
