What can I say I'm a map freak. I plan on getting some roll signs and other material when I get a chance.
Thank you, it does looks good all bunched up like that.
The MTA must think that every single person living on Staten Island drives which is definitely not the case. My little cousin who uses public transportation in Staten Island is always complaining about it. He can't wait to get a car whenever that may be.
It helped a lot thanks for posting. The Arthur Kill lift bridge is a one track only bridge. I wonder how a part-time extension of the SIR into New Jersey would benefit the people of Staten Island and New Jersey.
I would be very interested in these videos. I grew up riding the Long Island Railroad. I remember riding the Long Island Railroad a lot during the mid to late 80s. Those were the years that I rode it the most.
During what years do these videos take place?
Those are called Hi-railers. But, I've model railroaded before for many years, re-railers are usually hard. To be honest I've never seen a re-railer on a real life railroad. The material used in the picture I posted looks like a soft rubber or plastic material.
I was at Staten Island at my cousins house who lives around the corner from the SIR. So I went on a photo tour of the SIR. I have not been on SIR property in a long time. The system does have a railroad feel to it. Enjoy!

I took this shot from the Staten Island Railway, maybe other railroads use this, but what is this on the tracks?
My only guess is this is where they clean/removed/change trucks on some of their railroad cars.
I definitely want to see the Amtrak Cab Ride Night Train To Manhattan. That looks like a great video to watch. I think I might order that one for myself.
Yes it does say its Vista compatible. The thing is a lot of people already have trouble running it under XP. I could imagine how bad it could be under Vista, with Vista using up all the RAM that people say it does.
