The Fort Wayne Railfan

The attached photo was at Ellsworth and Madison looking southwest on the ERR mainline in 2002. Blue Bell is at left, and the ERR depots were in the pine trees at right-center, at the SE corner of Ellsworth and Whitley Sts. Am I right that the pine trees and the little park there were recently demol...

C/B means Catch Basin. Ken 8) And you can see that there is one directly below the "C/B", also marked with green paint. Seeing as the inlet looks to have been cleared, I wonder if the marks are just for the street dept to know where the inlets are. They're probably clearing snow away from the inlet...

I remember that caboose restaurant from years ago. Is it still there??

Neat find, thanks!

The guys over on the indianarailroads board have pinned the location as Hamlet, NC. http://goo.gl/maps/dWajC

Somewhere in Kalamazoo?

Dunfee in 1994...I would've biked there a few times that summer to watch trains. Thanks for the memories!

Thank you, Nathan. A bit difficult finding them without coordinates though. The one looks like it went under the bridge on dirt and had a separate bridge on the northern approach. The other has too much growth to tell much at all. I take your word though on what you found when there. Google Earth i...

When the PRR upgraded the line in the 1...

It was an interurban underpass, west of Garrett. It utilized an existing railroad bridge over the creek, so it was far cheaper than building an overpass, new underpass, or at grade crossing. It had major flooding problems of course. Craig can add more info I'm sure. This was done in at least a coupl...

I think there's a big factory expansion going on in Wabash, so I'm going to take a stab and say that's it's along the NS Wabash line in/near Wabash.

Thanks to Greg for keeping this board going too. Tons of great info on here, and someday I'll have a chance to try to read it all!

Thanks for the compliment DL! Feel free to let me know if ever things get out of hand again.

The link got cut off in the post. Here's the full link:

Great catch. I've wanted to try to get something on that bridge too, but I don't think the local runs whenever I'm in Ft Wayne.
