Posted from Android Date: 11/24/15 14:59 Re: Close Clearance! Switching Utica Club Brewery. Author: steve_misky That is crazy, I know some folks who couldn't fit their cars through that.
I guess no 6 axle loco will work there with a few idler cars. Posted from Android Date: 11/24/15 15:33 Re: Close Clearance! Switching Utica Club Brewery. Author: nycman Great photo, and wow! What clearance? Taken in one of my favorite haunts about 50+ years ago.
Date: 11/24/15 17:02 Re: Utica Brewery Author: timz This is at 43.10397N 75.246W?
If so, the curve looks to be around 31-32 deg. Date: 11/24/15 17:47 Re: Utica Brewery Author: HB90MACH There is a prototype for every model.

The experienced engineer will probably check his fuel tanks to assure the engine isn't leaning to one side, as well Date: 11/25/15 06:02 Re: Utica Brewery Author: train1275 About 1973 EL tried to put an E8 in there. It did not work and there were scrape marks made.
I think it was EL 828, came up on the Scranton Bull. Date: 11/25/15 07:12 Re: Utica Brewery Author: Tominde You don't have to steer son, just back it up.

Yes, official name is FX Matt Brewery although most people here refer to it as Utica Club Brewery (also West End Brewery). I don't know what product comes in via rail. Here's another pic from the same day: Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/25/15 15:08 by ut-1.

However if they make swill beer they may also be bringing in corn or rice as well.... Date: 11/25/15 19:25 Re: Close Clearance! Switching Utica Club Brewery. Author: N7A Great shots!
Always wanted to see how tight it was inside there with an engine and cars. I always enjoy your CNY photos. Date: 11/26/15 10:28 Re: Close Clearance! Switching Utica Club Brewery. Author: JUTower Really neat. Perfect for a model railroad.
