Last post by lupojohn - April 17, 2020, 10:37:12 AM
Not many opportunities in the tri-state area (I live in New York City), so this is all I have gotten so far. I just discovered a spot in Staten Island where I can get a few photos.

Here is 9619 at Union, New Jersey

Forum Information and Support / Host update
Last post by E. Hodgson - March 15, 2020, 12:16:37 PM
I have noticed ever since the host updated their software we have had a list of issue surface, not one of which appears to limit (sometimes none at all) access via a mobile phone, tapatalk plugin appears none functional in many aspects. The host seems unwilling to disable the security (unneeded I might add) to correct even a few of these issue, so over the next few weeks I will be transitioning to a new host without these issues. I hope this should run as smooth as the last time I will update as activity moves on.

NS and CSX have worked out their differences because 23K detrous are running again as Z013 on CSX. NS has a run a 27W detour (auto racks) using a combination of CP and the Green Mountain RR to bypass Hoosac Tunnel.

According to FB: Hoosac Tunnel may take up to 60 days to reopen. NS and CSX are also having a feud, so the final NS 23K detour over CSX  (symbol Z013) will happen tonight.

NS System News / Moosac Tunnel OOS
Last post by Matt L - February 13, 2020, 07:46:29 PM
From https://www.wwlp.com yesterday:

QuoteNORTH ADAMS, Mass. (WWLP) – The Hoosac Tunnel is currently closed to trains because of debris on the tracks.

Pan Am railways Executive Vice President Cynthia Scarano told 22News that the track is temporarily out of service. Scarano said there was a washout involving dirt and rocks, but would not classify it as a collapse of the structure. The company says it is a track and maintenance review situation.

According to several Facebook reports, Pan AM does have an engineering team evaluating the tunnel. It is expected to reopen Monday. In the meantime, NS 22K and 23K are using CSX between Ayer, MA and Buffalo, NY. NS11R and 14R are also aaffected, although I do not know what detour route they are using.

I believe I have corrected the attachment issue feel free to give it a shot if you get an error post the error you receive. I t appears to be an issue from the most recent server swap from the hosting company and a change to our directory home path. I am going to be talking to a new host and testing with them in the near future as this hosting company seems to not be full filling obligations and bouncing our little home around to much it causes me headaches here and multiple other sites I have on this server. Enough is Enough!

I have also corrected a few other glitches that have popped up!
