Known as the Velocipede, these bikes were used on the railroad for track inspectors and many other employees.

Derail protection a little close.......... |
| Description: |
CH 1 has just been thrown as the line up finishes up from the former Erie line on the left. This transfer siding is now gone and the tower to the east is owned by the Parks Dept. 60 years earlier and the NYC , Pennsy and Erie along with the B&O could have been spotted here passing a former Erie Ice House. The Derail protects the former Pennsy however in the event it works the grade would still create a situation that close. |
