The Caboose Has Landed!

[@richardmead9225]

Brian with "East Terminal Railway" came across a land locked railroad crane that needs a new home.

[@johnblair8146]

An Ohio crane.

[@Stoker58]

Would be nice, but it’s standard gauge.

[@davelewandoski4292]

Thanks for the update. Amazing how much progress has been made this year.

[@Arkay315]

I love how the railroad is coming together

[@bcbloc02]

Looks like you made a lot of progress this year!

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed.👍👀

[@alcopower5710]

Thanks for the awesome updates. I think that’s a great spot for the caboose 👍

[@wilsonhardy2100]

Brian, I just am amazed at the work being done on your railroad! I love the video content and how you make it all work. Keep up the great work your museum is doing.

[@michaelzurker9348]

There is so much progress, but still a lot of work to do. But you manage a fantastic Project.

7:12 Wow! $5,500 for those rail parts! I thought most of the rail parts could be picked up for scrap value and a lot of times donated. Now those are brand new, but thought good used would normally be just fine. 85 pound rail I'd think might be hard to come by being 100 pound rail is suppose to be common for the branch line use. The railway is looks much better care for since I started following these videos a while ago. It's starting to look interesting venturing the rails into that forest and more hilly terrain towards the back of the current complex. It's too bad there not a picnic park adjacent to the property that would offer some rail rights for running trackage on. The common name for what most people consider a common park is called a picnic park by the national park service because most of the activities center around food. When you say crushed concrete I assume you mean recycled concrete that has been crushed into smaller pieces. That would mean there would be different granule sizes. I never heard of it being used before or how it would be used. There is certainly a lot of old concrete that is now a form of waist that that would be nice to find something useful to do with it.

Thought it was nice to see the nyc logo coming back thrugh the Conrail paint

Fantastic news and work so far.

[@alexmodern6667]

Love the new Caboose, fits right in.....

[@richardbause2453]

Looking great 👍 Ron. I still have those 136 pound plates down at the Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley RR to trade you for the 80/90

[@Roboticus_Prime_RC]

I have a pipe dream. To someday see the J&L 58 running on the WW&F Railway. They've had events before where other loco's visit.

[@Stoker58]

It would be nice, but their rail is mostly 60lbs much to light for the 58.

[@richardbrobeck2384]

Nice lots of Progress !

[@RailPreserver2K]

Have you thought of ordering a custom-built ballast car for y'all's Railroad? I'm asking because I think National Rail export actually built some locomotives for the White Pass and Yukon route recently but that's 3 ft gauge so I don't know if they or anyone else build Rolling Stock for 2-foot gauge.

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

If we had the money to do that, sure. But it would more than empty our entire budget to do that and then we would have a ballast car but no money to buy ballast!

[@TrainsOhio]

Looks good!

[@alcopower5710]

6:31……that’s a big ole vise

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

Yes it is. I found that in the boilerhouse at the blast furnace plant for Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel in Steubenville, OH. While it is ridiculously oversized it does come in handy!

[@alcopower5710]

@@YoungstownSteelHeritage maybe give a close up in a future video

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Awesome!

[@notknightbean]

Tiny station for a tiny railroad. 😊

[@rustblade5021]

I stopped using merchant couplings after a untapered thread protector somehow made it to the box. Big disaster.

[@americansaxon2101]

is the caboose standard or narrow gauge?

[@Stoker58]

Standard Gauge Ex NYC

[@NiklasTheFox]

brian at the etr discoverd a landlocked crane can you save it

[@brianfalzon6739]

Great news

[@rwest1818]

are there any plans to put the caboose back on wheels? after all its where it should be, it could take passengers round the track

[@Stoker58]

No, it’s going to be used as an office/ crew room. It’s a narrow gauge operation so it will never run on the J&L and it would be a waste of money to buy trucks to put underneath it. The other Conrail caboose up the hill has trucks underneath it because it came with them.

[@rwest1818]

@@Stoker58 thanks for the reply, looking forward to the next episode

[@Stoker58]

@@rwest1818 There are plans to eventually build a Narrow Gauge caboose in the future so you can look forward to that!
