I started this template about a year ago and then stopped it when Teemu told me he was going to extend it to Niagara Falls. Teemu sent me the new Buffalo route yesterday and I will work it along side the PRR Eastern. The Buffalo route is only about 60 miles long but it has almost 1300 sidings. It is a huge industrial switching route with 8 Railroads involved.
Teemu has done a great job on this route. Pete |

Denis What kind of trackage does the TH&B have on the route? Hi Benny, Photos ( at railpictures,net) of TH&B motive power in Frontier Yard and at North Tonawanda seem to suggest that the TH&B used the Penn Central trackage between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Additional information seems to confirm that, since about 1895, the TH&B was onwed jointly for decades by CP (25%) and the NYC (75%), which passed later to the PC. Once the PC got bankrupt CP bought most of the stocks PC had in the late 70's and later, merged with CP in the 80's. Not sure anymore if the TH&B actually passed through Fort Erie (as some of the screenshots suggested) and the international bridge. If someone can confirm with info, that would be useful. -------------------- Denis Gionet

Denis- don't know if you have seen this website, but it's a pretty good rundown on the history of the TH&B.... Ted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto,_Hami...Buffalo_Railway |
