Your first photo above....here’s a couple of shots today at Portal Heights, Montreal (now Canora). The first is roughly from the same vantage point and the second.....exiting the tunnel portal below.   Date: 05/25/18 06:48 Re: Its electric!

Especially like the Cleveland shot. Gary Date: 05/25/18 11:04 Re: Its electric! Other types of power under the wire..no Gs, no Author: CPR_4000 What was the abandoned right of way in the Cleveland shot?

Other types of power under the wire..no Gs, no Author: refarkas Beautiful. My favorite is the Shaker Heights Rapid Transit PCC. When they were in service, I was able to ride them when I visited Cleveland.

The car had just been rebuilt - great ride! Bill Deaver Tehachapi, CA Date: 05/26/18 12:59 Re: Its electric! Other types of power under the wire..no Gs, no Author: halfmoonharold Here's a present-day approximation of the Cleveland shot, from Google. The freight equipment is on the NKP/N&W/NS main. The catenary supports are for the abandoned CUT passenger main, as mentioned above.

Nice set of pictures. I enjoy the stuff you post. Jim Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/26/18 19:33 by tq-07fan. |
