Standard Plans for Right-of-Way and Structures

Over the years, many folks have asked for structure and engineering standards drawings.  Many also indicate an interest in structures on their membership forms.  This disk will interest modelers, historians and partisans of Lines East and West of Buffalo.

The DVD covers selected engineering standards and technical guidance issued by the NYC&HR Engineering Department at the turn of the nineteenth century.  Most of these standards remained in force through WWII.  Freight and passenger standard station plans as well as section house, stock pen, station fencing, and signage design are but a few of the many areas which provide a look into classic NYC engineering.  There are also track standards and a variety of aspects of Electric Division facilities, infrastructure, and equipment that was “cutting edge” technology of the era.  The Society is indebted to the Danbury [Connecticut] Railway Museum for many of the “Lines East” drawings in this DVD.

Complementing the above are a number of LS&MS and Lines West facility drawings and diagrams.  Specific mechanical drawings and yard diagrams of selected Ashtabula, Collinwood, Toledo, Elkhart, Englewood and other facilities from the early 1900’s into the Post War period are included. 

The DVD of has over 800 files in the generally used PDF and TIF formats.  And, to make them readily usable for specific questions, the information is fully indexed and is searchable.
