Something a little different for tonight. I took this train from London to Slough and transferred to another like it for Windsor and a tour of Windsor Castle. August 30, 2014.

This isn't old but it's for sure a classic.

"The "J" was also an early adopter of welded rail, installing its first 131-pound segments in the fall of 1943. While much more expensive than utilizing traditional joints, "ribbon" rail reduces maintenance and offers a smoother ride; by 1950 the EJ&E had installed 90 miles of its 175-mile network with CWR (continuous welded rail) and continued to do so after that time."

I lived next to "The Jay" in Chicago Heights, Il. I remember these Baldwins shaking the ground as they went by.

So this isn't a single photo, but Scott Nixon's collection of pictures of the Fairport, Painesville, & Eastern will appeal to anyone who likes vintage shortlines. Through my work I am involved in the redevelopment of the site formerly occupied by the Diamond Shamrock plant in Fairport Harbor/Painesville Township, Ohio, so these photos have a special meaning to me. I wasn't around to see the Diamond or the FP&E in action, but I've heard a lot of interesting stories.

This page shows a layout of the plant, including tracks. Someday I hope to build a route with the plant going down to the FP&E/B&O interchange yard and limestone dock on the Grand River...someday...

Did you take this when it was built or just before it was scrapped?

Must have been close to scrapyard time. That's one of the post war tenders. I was 10 years old when it got cut up. My camera (my uncle's in reality)in those days weighed more than I did and used glass plates. I like my digital better.
