Two more street running questions

Model Railroader Prototype information for the modeler

And from there, If I can find a camera small enough, I want to put one in one of these

And park it by or between the double track main. Have a camera peaking out and getting to see two trains pass under. Even put these on a website as web cams. Mind you, seeing as all this is going on a first try layout, It’ll be a little while.

EDIT: Lee, Good to hear there’s still a prototype for everything. My thoughts too in a change of set up

Thanks for all the help!

I almost forgot I had these…

That was the last train to use the trackage in Boston Street in East Baltimore back in 1987.

Since then the industrial waterfront has been converted into Yuppie Land.

In the future, I imagine tiny videocameras on servos will be common trackside at good model railroad ‘railfanning’ locations. You’ll wear a “virtual reality” helmet, and by turning to the left or right, cause the servo to move the camera to the left or right. Authentic synchronized engine sounds will be fed into the headphones in the helmet as the train passes, and there will be background noises too. Of course, there will be similar cameras in engine cabs, cabooses and passenger cars if you wish to ride along the train while it’s running.

I’ve always been interested in the street trackage in New Albany Indiana,the ex Monon track joined with another?for the journey over the Ohio River to Kentucky, different pics show tracks parallel to the monons’ which curve off the street in the opposite direction, any idea whose trackage that was (I say was as later photos I’ve seen show only the Monon trackage), I believe that right before the bridge approach began there was a right angle crossing of more tracks…interurban? I think.

Any further information here would be appreciated, Australia is just a bit to far for a quick field trip.

Thanks

I just remembered seeing some pictures, in an old magazine one time, of a DD40AX Running down some street trackage. This wasn’t some one time event as I recall. The photos showed that they had to stop because someone parked a pickup truck too close to the rail.

I can’t even find them on your Flickr page. but I don’t knowe what I;m looking for
