Inside the Current Issue
Featured Photo by Jeffrey Plant
Remembering the Third Sub
Photographer Mike Zollitsch recalls a special section of mountain railroading in western New York. The Buffalo & Pittsburgh’s Third Mainline Subdivision had rural charm, grades, slow speeds and scenery that rivaled the best of the Northeast. Mike takes us back, as we experience the sights and sounds of mountain railroading like he remembers it.
Return to the Slatepicker - D&H SC17
Tom Carver revisits the late 1970's and the former D&H Slatepicker for some memorable chases in eastern New York and western Vermont. The Delaware & Hudson’s ‘Slatepicker’ local was a fan favorite, often featuring exotic power, like the famous D&H Sharks, several types of Alcos and even the occasional GE. Tom was even fortunate enough to catch a leased CP Rail RS3 on the job one summer day. Through the lenses of Tom and friend Jim Reddington, we turn back the clock to witness the action.
D&H’s Colonie Main
