| Title: |
Taking it to the street |
| Description: |
One of the more interesting parts of the NS former Nickel Plate line was this stretch of 19th St in Erie, where the tracks ran down the middle. Im sure the residents made their peace with it, but I can imagine having a train in your front yard several times per day must have been a pest at times. Here we see HAN 1X taking a slow stroll through town with 30 platforms and 15 COFC. It would not be til 2002 that the locals would get some relief, when a connection was built to the CSX former NYC line on either end of the street running. That "89" at left is the milepost(from Buffalo), and not a house number. |
