Thanks once again for this wonderful site I somehow seem to get to when I start doing my train searches. Good luck at Amtrak I know this is a bit belated but I just stumbled here again. I still ride the Hudson line and will for quite some time as I live in Dutchess county and Manhattan. I’ll be driving up by Hudson NY tomorrow and I hope to glimpse the trains up there.

Been following this blog for some time, always entertaining and informative. Good luck on your endeavors at Amtrak. :D

Honestly, it sounds like that “alpha-male type” guy is the kind of person who deserves a swift kick in the testicles.

Emily, thank you very much for providing so much information and entertainment. I rode the Harlem extensively during the late steam and early diesel eras. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing how it has evolved thanks to your blog.

I wish you all success and happiness with your new endeavors.

BTW, I’m embarrassed as a male that you had to suffer the indignities of someone my father-in-law called the south end of a northbound horse.

I am commenting on your 2 Dec 2010 article entitled “History of my Hometown: The Railroad in Southbury” The train accident on 10 Dec 1892 was tragic for my ancestors as my Great Grandfather, William Henry Beebe (the engineer on this train) was killed. He was 27 years old and he left behind his wife and 2 sons, age 6 and 1, with a third child on the way. I thank you for the map of the accident. This map is new to me and it pin-points the exact location of the accident. I will be putting it into my genealogical files. I do plan to visit the area sometime soon and hope to learn more about the accident. Again, Thank you.

Note: William Henry Beebe died on 10 Dec 1892. This was the 1st birthday of his son, John Edward Beebe.
