[escriturias]

Eu fui embora sem deixar bilhetes, sem explicações, sem portas entreabertas. Algumas histórias não precisam de epílogo, só de um ponto final bem marcado. O que ficou para trás pertence ao passado, e eu não carrego nada dele comigo. Não há espaço para nostalgia, nem para saudade, apenas para o alívio de não precisar mais olhar para trás.

Cartas de Blanck para Julie.

Some pictures from exploring the former Southern Division of the Central Railroad of New Jersey near Chatsworth and Whiting, New Jersey. Not sure when the last train went this far south, but it’s definitely not happening again anytime soon.

Of note, this is the line that the Blue Comet used to run on.

Conrail’s First Summer

Here’s some interesting power seen at the Big Four Yard in Avon, Indiana (former New York Central line). It’s nice to see a variety of fallen flags here—sans patches or blue paint yet.

The Erie Lackawanna locomotive is an SDP45 (though never carried a steam generator), the Central Railroad of New Jersey unit is an SD35, and the Penn Central engine is an SD45. Even the “Reading Lines” boxcar is nice to see.
