Trains on google street view.

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

First link is the Amtrak North East Corridor.
Second link is the New England Central Railroad

Also, link two should belong in Google Maps Scavenger Hunt. :Tongue2:

Blame Hunter Harrison, cuts it down to 14 car's then abolishes it. I wonder if it'll ever be reinstated?

Depends on if they have the motive power. According to the railroad's official Twitter account, they're planning to be down to about 2,370 to 2,420 active locomotives on their roster by 2020. Currently, they're down to just 3,000 (less than EHH's original goal of 3,381).

For comparison, NS has 4,063 engines on their active roster (including 14 leasers).
They/Them for me, please.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tropicana reduced the number of them, or CSX quickly cleaned-up their act with Tropicana following Tropicana complaining and (at least threatening) stopping shipping by rail.
