A major rework of the website's INDUSTRIAL roster section gets underway this month. The
changes are intended to ease navigation and substantially expand overall coverage of private
and non-common carriers. The first component to appear is a group of sixteen power company
rosters, several of which are brand new listings. They can be viewed by using the
ENERGY & UTILITY link. (Note: Some of thode rosters still
require a photo.)
Speaking of electric utilities, a couple months back when work began on developing the above series of 16 electric and utility company rosters, one of them that caught our attention was the St. Louis & Belleville Electric Railway. This short 18-mile rail line was noteworthy because of the role it had in the rise of industrial giant Peabody Coal Company. Use this link to read more part about The Peabody Connection. By the way, the CSX Tribute Fleet photo gallery was recently expanded with the addition of CSX #1852 which sports the "circus" colors of the Western Maryland. |
