On page 84 of “Appalachian Coal Hauler: Interstate Railroad's Mine Runs and Coal Trains,” there’s a photo of Southern 2182 on a mine run at Kent Jct. There’s a two-aspect colorlight signal to the righ

I thought I saw one in the latest book from White River Productions.

I am hoping Dan Sparks, membership director for the SRHA, is a member of this group. I am trying to reach him about a missing issue of "Ties" from 4Q 2021.

Well done, Fenton!

Curiously, this letter echoes thoughts that I have passed on to vendors such as Progress Rail, US&S and Alstom over the past several years about signal equipment. The more things change. ...

Hello all, In Southern Ry. practice, would a train register book have been needed or required at a junction if movement on the track the train was entering was governed by Yard Limit rules? Thank you

Thank you, Bill. That's a great help!

Would anyone happen to have a photo to share of a page from a Southern train register book? Was there any difference in the type of train register books used where an operator was on duty compared to

Happy New Year to all! I'm searching for three Southern Ry. documents: a train register card, a typical waybill and a mine block waybill. Also, I'm on the hunt for any engineering prints or informatio

I too would be interested in that information, Dan. Be glad to help you with compiling it as well.

Hoping someone can help me pinpoint the model number of what I believe is a Racor/Ramapo switchstand. It's seen here in this Ron Flanary photo: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/538395/ Thank you, Pa

Thanks, Robert. I completely missed seeing those vertical numbers until much later, after my reply to Fenton. Elsewise I wouldn't have ID'd it incorrectly. I'm so accustomed to seeing white horizontal

Thank you, Fenton. Those put me a step closer to the goal. Now I know there were cases and a signal at the start of circuit, as well as the sign, which I knew was there. And the signal was likely a fi

Much thanks! So no "D" or "Derail" or "Attend Derail" pointing out the obvious. Explains why I can't find anything. ...

That's the era, Bill! I've searched the web for a photo --anything -- of what that sign would look like.

Understood. So how did the Southern indicate to TY&E that a derail was present?

I'm looking for a photo of a Southern derail or "D" sign/target. Thank you.

Yes, please! It would much appreciated.

Anyone have a lead on plans for a typical Southern train order station? I'm particularly interested in the footprint -- what the dimensions of the foundation would be, and whether the foundation would
