Hi John, I am interested on two levels. First I am looking for wartime color photos of LVRR structures to get insights into paint colors. Second, i wonder if your “Lord” line is the same as mine, as I have done a lot of family history research on that lone.

Mr.Cambell your email link does not work. I am a author working on a book about a small town railroad. I need a your expertise. I need to know about days gone past. I would be ever grateful for your help. I plan on putting the book on Amazon Kindle in Oct. I would like build a report with you so that I may send you some questions to answer.
Please let me know.

I have a photograph showing a LVRR wreck which is dated 12/1/1924. I read the DOT accident report for 11/24/24, but that doesn’t seem to be the same wreck. Does anyone know if there was a wreck on that date in which 3-6 passenger cars derailed and rolled down a 20+ foot hill? I seem to think the wreck happened on 12/1 because there are dozens of people standing around looking shaken.

Do you have any more info or names of deceased from a LV accident dated July 27, 1913? My great-grandfather was died from a train accident on July 28, 1913. He was an employee of a rail road company and was from Bethlehem PA. I can find reference to an employee dying in an accident from July 27, 1913, but there is no mention of his name.

I just found this site today and pulled out photos belonging to my grandfather, Edwin W. Roll who worked out of the Manchester Yard. In a photo, train number 560 is shown and I do not see that engine shown on this site.

Many of my family members were employed by the LVRR. My grandfather was foreman at the Manchester NY Yard. Uncles and my own father worked in the area of Buffalo and Manchester. I’m trying to find out if my great-grandfather worked on the Leigh. I have a photo booklet that includes employees enjoying a party on the premises, at Manchester, I would assume. I do not know the year, but would guess the 1950′s.
