One product that is an outbound shipment besides tank cars of liquidfied petroleum gas in tank cars is coke. Empty open top hoppers are placed underneath the "coker". Coke is loaded along with water to keep the loading fluid. The cars are then pulled out from underneath the coker for shipment...

That clear to stop name really throws me for a loop :eek:

OK The advance approach will lead you into an approach and finally a stop signal (or on occasions - Restricting)

Nice looking layout. Real Nice

Wasn't there someone on here who had a real nicely detailed small Erie layout? I believe they modeled Erie steam. If I remember correctly it was maybe last year.

Advance Clear to Stop? The aspect sounds like the same as an Advance Approach. I take it means to stop at the second signal?

I would have to say they are somewhat similar to where I run, except for the station protection signal and the take or leave siding signal. One noticeable missing signal I see a lot of is the Advance Approach Signal. A flashing yellow aspect that basically means to pass the next signal...

CN has been having a lot of labor relation problems as of late. There is a free website where railroaders go to shoot the crap. The CN issue has been discussed as of late.....you would have to search the forums for it, but my guess it is in the Open Forum, BLET Forum and possibly the Yard...

I've never had good experiences with Bachman products

Kato makes a transition track where you can go from Atlas to Unitrack, but as far as pier sets compatiable? I couldn't tell you.

Invest in the Unitrack.....well worth it and derailments are almost nil even after the track is set up and taken down several times. The stuff is good for layouts. You can rearrange and tinker as much as possible before securing it without having to worry about worn out joiners. The power...

The bar in question is a brake stick. The railroads trying to cut down on injuries have been using the brake stick in certain yards. I don't think it is mandatory on all the railroads, but they have been in use in my terminal for a little over a year. Not many guys use them because they already...

Sorry, all the places I mentioned are in New Jersey just outside of NYC.

Since split date you have the shared assets Lehigh Line from Port Reading Jct where the CSX Trenton Line and NS Lehigh Line come together to CP Valley also at Valley is Oak Island yard which handles CSX, NS, CP, and Shared Assets (Conrail) from CP Valley you have the Lehing connecting track...

BTW, it is much more impressive at night.

I have had a handful of GE's do the flame thrower on me. Of those handful I seem to recall it happening in notch 5 on the throttle. Basically it just shot the flame out for a few seconds and then went back to belching the black smoke.

I have to agree, this is a hobby to relieve stress, not incur more. I also got aggravated with model railroading. No matter how much I tried I could not get the terrain to look right, so I cheated and bought the High Sierra module from Terrains for Trains. All completely landscaped, well...

Here I thought I got banned from the site

Every once in awhile on E-Bay (N-Scale) there is single and double track cat poles for sale. This may or may not be what you looking for, if I come across it my searches I will post a link.

In my book Lifelike and Bachmann have a long way to go to compete with Atlas and Kato in terms of quality. While I respect your opinion of Likelike and Bachmann, I do not share it. It would take a lot of convincing to even get me to test run one of their products. I was burned once with...
