Sorry to go with an old post but I have an old logging sign from the Emporium/Grasse RiverRR in upstate NY. It says something along the lines of "Beware horses in the road next 5 miles. Emporium Lumber Co.". I can tell you exacty what it says over next summer, it is in storage and I am in school...

I finally found a picture and in color of what I was looking for at George Elwoods website and this is his picture. http://gelwood.railfan.net/steamtown/grrr-rb0ald.jpg This is as it appeared in the 60's at one of the first RR museums the Railtown Museum in Sandy Hook NY. Obviously it has past...

Color Grasse River RR railbus pics A few things have popped up today for some reason. First I found alot of info on Grasse River self propelled vehicles. Also there is an emphasis on #12. According to info I've found there were two #12's. One was a combine and one was a self propelled...

Thank you Wanye. My babies name is Oscar after my grandfather and the baby is a lot of fun. According to one site I found, this Vermont Doctor has at least one steam engine as well. I read an old post you wrote in another forum on freelance railroad news releases, funny stuff.

Thanks guy's glad you figured that out. Still, while I had my doubts and didn't think it was true, it would have been an interesting "what if". The #12 Rail car is still at Strasburg. Now lettered as the Lancaster, Oxford and Southern #10 that it was in the days before GRR. It is apparently...

Confusion over the GRR #44 Climax While I was playing with Google yesterday (procrastinating, but how I found the Bill Gove lecture) I found a website for the Southern New York Railway historical group. http://www.trains-n-planes.com/row/sny/sny3.htm. It is dedicated to that railroad based in...

Bill Gove lecture possibilities Wayne, I am definitely going to get that book. I don't need a scan of the engine right now I am too busy to do anything with it just yet. I hope to get to that talk but grad school in San Diego is taking up all my time and the rest of the time I don't have is...

GRR lecture by Bill Gove Funny, after such a long time I am posting here twice in a day. The Amherst Railway Society who put on the big Springfield show in MA are going to hold a talk on the Grasse River Railway. It is scheduled for May 17, 2005. I assume it is in Amherst but if I am in the...

Wayne, I know you are also interested in mining and I assume steel production. Have you seen the cover of the new Lionel catalog. Right on the cover is a J & L steam train with hot metal cars. It looks pretty nice. I now this closer matches their PA operation but it looks tempting. Do you...

Most of my replies are based on what I have found that remains at the site. A surprising amount is there still. As far as the photo it fills me in on a few things I found there. I cannot say weither they ran the engines over this berm. The track had an alternate runaround on land left of the...

Wow, great picture. I haven't seen this particular view yet. The orientation seems to be taken from the roof of the mill looking east and a little south. Left of the train is the log dump pond that had direct ramps into the mill. Above the engine in the background is Silver Lake. The mill pond...

About the picture of the bus you sent. It is parked in front of the white building with the porch. The building in the background still exists. It was the companies storage building located on the shore of Cranberry Lake. In about 20 feet if the bus backed up it would be on the pier. If it...

I think the Ford restoration was done for the Glacier National park but I know there are White buses still running at Gettysburg too. But the fleet of red painted historic White buses at Glacier are really nice.

You are right someone just sent me a picture of the Grasse River goose and it looks closer to a slablike model T than the much more streamlined model I saw on ebay.Oh well I thought it could be an easy jumping off point. The "Jumping Goose" was a very unmodifyed long bus body and had a pair of...

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I also started a separate thread on this sight to test the waters of knowledge on the White Bus Co. It seems that this company had a large output in these years and had a verying product line. There was no single bus style but many.

Thanks. I read somewhere that Ford did an extreme restoration recently on several old White buses in Nat. Park service gave them new frames and Natural Gas engines. I forget which park but I imagine this restoration and interest led to the creation of these models. From what I've found the...

Does anyone here know much about the White Bus Co.? I ask because a line I am interested in modeling the Grasse River RR/ Emporium Lumber Co. in upstate New York had a 1931 model that was converted to rail use as passenger and mail delivery to the town of Clifton-Fine AKA Cranberry Lake. It...

Does anyone here know much about the White Bus Co.? The Grasse River RR/ Emporium Lumber Co. in upstate New York had a 1931 model that was converted to rail use as passenger and mail delivery to the town of Clifton-Fine AKA Cranberry Lake. At some point possibly after it was no longer used it...

I really liked the mining and logging displays at the Adirondak Museum. They have a Lynn Tractor and log track icer. As well as good displays on the seasonal aspects of logging in the area. I think that for the most interest a model depicting the area would have multi-seasonal scenes for the...

Sorry I was distracted by another project that came up. I would really love to see the consist list you mentioned as I don't have a copy of that book and I live in San Diego these days. "Silver" was chosen as a name because of Silver Lake or Silver Pond depending on who made the map. That is...
