Bel-Del line |
| Description: |
A tight spot on the former PRR Bel-Del line; looking north, rock cliffs to the right & the Delaware River to the left. When the BDRR resumes excursion service to this long out-of-service section, it will be breathtaking. |

The crew thought it best to park our 'ride' a ways back, in preparation for a badly leaning 75 foot tree that had to come down. Hurricane Sandy was not kind to this line, but the exhaustive efforts of the BDRR staff & volunteers have ensured that the upcoming season will operate safely, and on schedule |

Future BDRR shop area |
| Description: |
In the PRR days, this warehouse was served by rail; 6 months ago, you could hardly see the building for all of the trees. The hard working Bel-Del volunteers have done a great job of clearing the land around what will become the main shop of the railroad. If one listened closely on this day, the wood chipper could be heard screaming for mercy at times... |

BDRR MOW crew |
| Description: |
I don't think anyone on the Belvidere & Delaware River thought that it would take this long to get to Milford; a terrible winter season kept work crews at bay, with the snow & ice just melting away in the past 2 weeks. It could have been worse, some flangeway clearing and a dozen or so trees across the row to clear, and the crew is ready for lunch. The rusty rails tell the whole story..... |

And......that's a wrap, folks. Few people realize how much work it is to lay rail. A small rolling gantry crane makes all the difference in the world, sliding each 1700 lbs of stick rail into place without major effort. Track 2 is complete, Track 3 alongside the building is a year or two off. NYS&W 142 (to the right) is coming along nicely with her 15 year inspection/overhaul, and the crates to the immediate right contain new tubing to be installed over the coming months. |

She is better than half-way through her stay in the shop as the NYS&WT&HS crew performs nearly all of the work themselves in hopes of getting the 142 back on the main in 2022. Don't try this at home, folks, this is an undertaking of huge proportions... |
