    I've been on part of it, around Avery, ID. It has a 2-lane highway now, carved from the Milwaukee Road's roadbed, instead of the old 'one-and-half' road on the opposite side of the river.

    August 19, 1949. Forty four were injured at the Canaan Depot when two Boston & Maine passenger trains collided. The southbound train was waiting on the siding at the depot when a crew member on the incoming northbound train inadvertently threw the switch for the siding, allowing the northbound to crash head on into the awaiting southbound train. Ambulances and doctors were immediately started for Canaan and brought the injured to Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover. Credit should be given to the Canaan Telephone Exchange office for their quick work in calling for help.

    Those Allison locomotives have been in use for decades. How about videos on these

    Allison? Try Electro-Motive. Sorry, but I'm a train aficionado. It looks like both locos were E7A locos.

    Vert-a-Pacs. Only built for the Vega and their ill-designed brethren. As soon as GM dropped them, Southern Pacific scrapped the cars.
