Another interesting thing about the low-grade system lines is they were purpose-built in the Twentieth Century, using advanced design and construction methods, and so went straight through the hills, not around, using cuts and fills the size of which were unimaginable when the mainlines were laid. In fact, they were built to minimize helper districts and avoid interaction with public and places, so no wonder they remained little known or seen carrying heavy traffic, workmanlike, for decades and but for electrification, operated continuously, as designed until fading away, no longer needed. Helpers were another interesting part of railroading not often needed on the low-grade lines. Out of sight, out of mind to the public, contemporaries, and historians alike, the low-grade was almost all through freight traffic so no locals, switching, online customers and rarely a grade crossing. Also, while the mainlines traversed high profile city terminals, towns and stations, and folks could ride passenger trains thereon, the low-grade lines were deliberately remote, grade separated, and rarely saw passenger service. Well short of six tracks even counting the crossover!Īmong the things so interesting to me about PRR's low-grade system lines is they arrived late and were mostly retired early so were neither part of the romance of PRR history, nor the contemporary railroading scene we can go out and see in action today. Based on Bruce Smith's comment this would be post-electrification and after the water and ash station was closed. Thank you, Bob Hess, for sharing this interesting drawing. Owen Thorne PRRTHS, Phila and NE Chapters Cecil County MD USA owen at udel dot edu 1-41 ![]() I imagined there was apparatus inside needed for signaling and maybe as a way station or supply house for a section crew or signal maintainers. I knew the tower survived decades after electrification made a manned interlocking at Smith extraneous, but I did not know that it was used as a Block Station during maintenance. Has anyone seen track charts that support this claim? Or is the author counting a siding for ash hoppers and a helper pocket with the mains three tracks wide westward toward Martic Forge? And which of these were retained after electrification? If there was an ash pit, was there a hoist? How about a coaling station? It may not matter to us as you will be modeling the 1940's and I, the 1950's, but I can't help wonder. By 1941, the average Enola Low-Grade freight length peaked at 89 cars or 3,500 to 4,000 feet long." Wow! Six tracks wide are tough to envision from the r-o-w today. This made it possible to move an entire train out of dedicated east and westbound traffic. At its peak, six tracks stretched west of Smith Tower, with three of them extending for nearly two miles. Formerly known as “SF” for Shenks Ferry, it was wedged between the tracks and a rock face. From the article: "At this location, they built Smith Tower. Little did I know the reservoir and gatehouse survived above my head! As it is winter now, I will head out there and look for it from the trail and adjacent street. Were the water and ash stations at Smith removed then or after WWII? While I have walked the line, noted the wider r-o-w and located the bricks marking the tower location - and a pipe in the ground - I could see no other artifacts of the water station along the trail. ![]() How late beyond electrification in 1938 did steam or steam helpers remain in use and need service there or anywhere along the Enola Low-grade? I imagined an all electric locomotive operation was the goal once all the wire was up on all the low-grade lines, and enough electric motors were in service. Do you know of a PRR Low Grade Facebook group or other online gathering? I thought of you after noting the article included several pictures I had not seen including the one of the pre-electrification Smith water and ash station from track level. Bruce, Thanks, so much, for this additional information on one of my favourite lines.

![]() I know that this comes down to personal preferences, and that I have to make up my own mind, but sometimes it helps to hear the opinion of others. Apple has been fairly neutral in its color palettes. Which color did you end up buying, what do you like about it and would you have picked a different color if you could choose over again? The iPhone 12 Pro Comes in Pacific Blue, and Its Such a Pretty and Relaxing Color. Am I just blinded by the “newness” of the blue one, or is it simply just a beautiful color? The graphite still looks classy, but after literally years of grayish phones, it almost looks boring. But, I must admit that choosing which one is really hard - even now that I have both here at home and can compare them side by side. I see no reason to keep two phones, so I will be selling one of them. ![]() But how do you feel about these two colors after a few months? Most of the reviews out there are from around the time of the launch, and of course the “new color” got a lot of praise. What is your opinion on these two colors after they’ve been out a few months? I must admit it was “love at first sight”. It looks great naked and also goes very well with my Baltic blue and California Poppy cases.

And I must admit, it looks stunning! Quite muted and natural, but a bit more “colorful” than my usual grayish phones (have had black/ jet black/ space gray/ graphite ever since the iPhone 4S). 15.49 cm (6.1 inch) Super Retina XDR Display. This weekend, I was gifted an iPhone 12 Pro Max in the color pacific blue. I went for the “true and tried” dark color at launch (this year known as “graphite”), as it matches my Apple Watch, iPad and MacBook and it goes with most cases and it has a classic, timeless look. The big question was, as usual, which color looks the best? Naturally there was a lot of hype around the new color, the pacific blue. So, it’s been a few months since the iPhone 12 Pro Max was released. ![]() K9 Web Protection has the ability to block adult, porn and other offensive content, prevent spyware infections, and monitor visited sites on any Internet access connection (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Earthlink) Blue Coat K9 Web Protection 4.0.230 Beta relies on client-side JavaScript as a protection mechanism, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and access the (1) summary, (2) detail, (3) overrides, and (4) pwemail pages by disabling JavaScript.

MPE – or MIDI Polyphonic Expression – is a recent development in the MIDI spec, allowing for more expressive note input, and a whole new breed of MIDI controller hardware. Setting up MPE as a modulation source in Phase Plant Just like the oscillators, you can change the pitch of the sample and where you want to send it, as well as controlling whether it loops, reverses or pitch syncs to the keyboard. Layer in some noise or other organic sounds using Vital’s Sampler. Expect slick innovations like cloud-based sample libraries and 3D output, as well as AI-powered engines and ultra-modern architecture. In this feature, we’ll take a look at all of the above and more, shedding some light on the futuristic synths that are leading the way across new frontiers. That’s not to mention the vintage synth emulations that revive powerhouses from the past in jaw-dropping digital detail – these are modern in their own way. MIDI is expanding with the introduction of MPE, and synths like Audio Damage Quanta 2 and Arturia Pigments 4 show what’s possible with full MPE support. ![]() ![]() Modern CPUs can handle a huge powerhouse of sound and synthesis, and new synth releases feature a dizzying array of synthesis and modulation engines that push the limits of what you can achieve creatively. The latest synths in today’s market sport cutting-edge features that befit the powerful machines and programs on which they run. Although there’s nothing wrong with relying on a classic, some of these golden oldies are showing their age somewhat, and a space is opening up that’s ready to be filled by a new breed of futuristic soft synths. That’s more than enough time for hot releases to become classics, and it’s easy to point to blockbusting synths like Sylenth1, Serum and u-He’s Diva as belonging to this category. Time waits for no man nor machine though, and the reality is that software synthesisers have been around for over 25 years at this stage. If analogue models are the original instruments in the synthesiser family, and digital titles their offspring, soft synths are the grandchildren. What does the future of synthesis look like? Steinberg’s VST protocol integrated software synthesizers into DAW applications, and the stage was set for third-party manufacturers around the world to code instruments for a fully digital environment, without having to develop expensive hardware. Wavetable, additive, FM, physical modelling and sample-based synths took grip on the global music market, with releases like the Yamaha DX7 and the Roland D-50 possessing previously unseen universal appeal.ĭigital synths had been communicating via MIDI since the ’80s, but as the 20th century drew to a close they made the leap into the computer world proper with the introduction of the first software synthesizers. ![]() Then came their digital ancestors, which used mathematical representations of audio waveforms. These gave way to more portable and playable models like the trailblazing Minimoog. Initially, musicians responded with horror at the arrival of these newfangled music-making machines, fearing being replaced entirely (a sentiment echoed in some of the scepticism surrounding AI’s role in music today).įirst came the analogue synths: brutish modular systems with cables and real circuitry. ![]() The visitors made a pair of changes shortly after with the experienced Hudson-Odoi and Felipe being withdrawn in favour of Joe Gardner and James Claridge.ĭaly then teased a cross to the far post that just evaded O’Connor with Town by now looking to press home their advantage and get a second.ĭaly was involved again when he was on the end of a sweeping one-touch cross-field move that saw him steer Gibson’s ball at goal. ![]() Town missed a spot kick at the weekend but Thomson made no mistake this time to open the scoring. Town were lively after the break and got their reward on 55 minutes when the determined Odoh ran at pace at the Forest defence and was tripped as he was poised to get a shot away. Just before the break Hudson-Odoi again showed his quality with a fierce shot that Mark Oxley parried away before he turned provider to set up Konate who clipped the bar with a powerful effort.ĭespite being closely guarded by the visitors defence Toby Sims managed to get a header at goal from Thomson’s cross that for a moment worried Shelvey. Ten minutes before the break Liam Gibson charged down the wing on a marauding to deliver a first-time cross but Shelvey was out quickly to advance and clear the danger with a posse of Town forwards racing towards the goal hoping to apply the finish. It was perhaps though a sign of things to come as shortly after Odoh was freed by Folarin but after advancing on goal he chipped his effort narrowly wide. Minutes later Folarin had an opportunity to test George Shelvey but his shot from the edge of the area every bit as off target as Hudson-Odoi’s. And it was he who linked up smartly with Ateef Konate on the half hour mark but the former Chelsea man ballooned his effort high and wide of the goal. Sam Collins fired a low shot just wide of the goal after 20 minutes but the opening stages were a largely quiet affair.įorest had new signing Callum Hudson-Odoi in their starting line-up and he began to be more involved in their play.
