"My suggestion is to hang out in the area on Tuesday or Thursday to wait for the train. It normally runs up to Peerless from the Finkl Steel area between 11AM and 2PM. You may want to wait at the point where the track forks off near the northern end of Kingsbury so you will know when it's coming. The Peerless job is handled at the same time as the Finkl Steel job, and the train exits a gate across Kingsbury to head north."

Doug sent these photos in some time ago that show the Lakewood Branch and how it looked in 1988-1990.

Take a tour of the ROW north of Belmont Ave with Tom Burke. Photos are in the Lakewood Section.
