text-align: center;"> The Marion River Carry Railroad</h2> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The Marion River Carry Railroad was created around 1900 by William West Durant to shuttle steamboat passengers between rapids in the Marion River.&nbsp; A steamboat from Raquette Lake would sail to the mouth of the Marion River, where passengers would exit the boat, take a train ride less than a mile and then board another boat that continued through Utowanna, Eagle and eventually Blue Mountain Lakes.&nbsp; &nbsp;Freight was also shuttled between points and made this an interesting little operation.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;This blog entry was originally helped by&nbsp;<b>Samual Berliner III. &nbsp;</b>I had a link to his webpage where he had an excellent history of the railroad, but he has since passed. &nbsp;A very nice guy with a great family history. &nbsp;<i><b><span style="color: red;">Gino 6/26/2022</span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The gauge is 4 ft 8 1/2 in and road is seven eighths mile long Connection is made between two points on the Marion river through which navigation is impossible By this method transportation is possible between Raquette lake and Blue Mountain lake A private right of way 200 ft in width is used and is laid with steel rails weighing 60 lbs per yard Ties are spaced about 24 in and roadbed is well ballasted with gravel The Blue Mountain terminal is 25 ft higher than the Raquette Lake terminal The railroad is nearly a continuous curve with three or four short tangents No highway grade or private crossings exist There is 1 timber trestle about 10 ft in length located about one fourth mile from the Raquette Lake terminal Rails ties roadbed and bridge are in good condition for the light equipment and speed of trains 5 minutes being used in running the seven eighths mile.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="p2"> <br /></div> <div class="p3"> <span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The equipment consists of 1 Porter tank locomotive and 3 light open street cars for passenger traffic The locomotive is of the tank type and anthracite coal is used was built in 1001 by HK Porter &amp; Co weighs 15 tons all on drivers no trucks or tender boiler steam pressure 140 lbs per sq in cylinders 1 1 in diameter by 16 in stroke air and steam brakes on all wheels link and pin coupler is used the condition is good throughout except spark arrester which is in exceptionally bad condition.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="p2"> <br /></div> <div class="p3"> <span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Light open cars formerly used as street horse cars are used for passenger traffic and are numbered 1 2 and 3 Nos. 1 and 2 have 10 horizontal reversible seats with a seating capacity of about 40 persons No 3 is equipped with camp stools a number of which are in poor condition and generally unsafe two pairs of wheels to each car Nos. 1 and 2 have journal box pedestals attached to side sills of car No 3 has a metal truck frame cars are equipped with hand brakes and metal brake beams of the usual type used in street car service link and pin couplers are used bell signals on each car cars are protected with side rails which are placed in position by train crew before train is in motion all trips are made in daylight and no lighting equipment is furnished Cars are freshly painted and clean and while the equipment is old it is safe for the operating conditions with the exception of camp stools in car No 3 and these in my opinion should be removed and the type of seat used in cars Nos 1 and 2 substituted.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="p2"> <br /></div> <div class="p3"> <span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The season usually opens May 5th and is closed November 10th. Passenger traffic<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>consists largely of excursionists from Raquette lake to Blue Mountain lake. Freight traffic consists largely of parcel freight A freight float is in operation on Raquette lake and Blue Mountain lake and by this method loaded cars are received from the Raquette Lake railroad and transported by means of freight floats and the Marion River Carry railway to all lake points lumber coal and other bulk freight is handled in this manner. Each year between 50 and 60 cars of freight are handled. This railroad passes in close proximity to heavy forest lands There are no repair facilities close at hand and gross carelessness and ignorance were manifested in the maintenance of spark arrester of locomotive. There was no indication of any fires having occurred along the right of way I believe that this railroad should be included in the order for use of oil for steam generation in its locomotive.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="p2"> <br /></div> <div class="p3"> <span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Link and pin couplers are used throughout. On the passenger cars there does not seem to be any particular danger to employees as cars remain coupled and cars are so light they can be pushed against locomotive by one man to make coupling. On the locomotive the condition is different locomotive being backed on to lake floats to handle heavily loaded freight cars the liability of injury to employees is considerable and I believe the locomotive should be equipped with automatic couplers. Recommendations That camp stools in passenger car No 3 be removed and replaced with stationary seats that locomotive be equipped with automatic couplers that spark arresters in locomotive be put in good condition at once and so maintained.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="p2"> <br /></div> <style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;
