Ambient Design ArtRage 5.0.5 + Key-DVT(x86) | 111.68 MB/(x64) | 115.55 MB
ArtRage 5 is the latest release from Ambient Design. It is a full featured digital painting program for Windows and macOS that brings together the convenience of digital editing tools, the realism of traditional paint texture and colors and the fun of creating art in one easy to use, professional level, program.
ArtRage 5 helps you create art more easily, letting you just start painting without struggling with either the cost of materials or figuring out complicated brush settings. It also offers many advanced features designed to help you get exactly the result you need.
Richly Realistic Traditional Media
ArtRage has always been well known for traditional media, and that hasnââ¬â¢t changed in ArtRage 5. The Watercolor tool still allows you perfect control over your art, and the Oils let you blend and mix as realistically as ever, but now it comes with a very natural pencil, flexible custom brush editing, and faster performance!
Traditional Canvas Textures
ArtRageââ¬â¢s brushes interact with your canvas as you draw. Customize your paper to get exactly the effect you want, whether thatââ¬â¢s a smooth digital background, fine sketch paper, rough canvas, or a custom pattern of your own creation. Skim the bumps of your canvas with the pencil, watch the watercolors spread around cracks and crevices, scumble with oils and turn up the texture effects with your custom digital brushes.
Ideal Software for Traditional Artists
Whether you canââ¬â¢t afford the materials, have run out of space in your sketchbook, break all your pencil leads, keep smudging your inks, donââ¬â¢t want to wait while paint dries, the cats keep eating your pastels, or you are allergic to solvents, you can transfer your traditional skills over to digital and keep working with all the same familiar tools. If you would like to learn a new painting medium, then ArtRage is also a low cost, low pressure way to familiarize yourself with paint and pencils, or create quick studies before attempting a complicated project.
Designed for Digital Artists Too!
If you arenââ¬â¢t into natural media, but are looking for something closer to Photoshop, then ArtRage 5 still has plenty to offer you. The latest edition lets you design custom brushes, composition tools, masking, adjustable selection tools, Pattern and Gradient Fill, filters, an airbrush, customizable stylus properties, automatic line smoothing, highly controlled color picking, and the most intelligent flood fill around.
Flexible Graphic Design Tools
Plan out your composition using grids, guides and perspective, and easily mask areas and draw custom shapes with Stencils. Use the perspective transform option to map your drawings to one or two point perspective in perfect scale and draw more easily with the snap to line and symmetry functions.
Personalize Everything
You can make ArtRage yours and adapt the software to your needs. Save your own presets for every tool, set up your own custom canvas textures, design a custom perspective grid, and rearrange your workspace to enhance your workflow and creative process. Import new stencils, add new custom brushes and stickers from your own images, create color samples and color pickers, and build the perfect drawing tool to help inspire and assist your art.

Layer Editing
Tweak your images using filters, layer effects, layer blend modes. Use Photoshop standard blend modes like Multiply and Screen as you work, and add editable glow, emboss and drop shadow effects to individual layers. You can even emboss your image using custom textures. Clean up your scanned sketches to remove dirty white paper so you can color the lines with the Remove Color Matte and distort your images using Warp (liquify). You can add blur or noise, or easily adjust the colors and contrast of a layer. If you need to repaint a layer, use the Lock Transparency and other selection and lock options to control your changes.
Multiple Platform Support
ArtRage comes in both desktop and mobile editions, with fully compatible file formats which will preserve paint data and layers between different versions of ArtRage. This means that you can paint a field study on your iPad Pro and then continue it with the same tools on the desktop. Or sketch ideas on the train on your Android phone, and develop it properly when you get to a more powerful computer. You can also easily switch between macOS and Windows without any problems.
Record Your Paintings
ArtRage offers script recording, which lets you record the entire painting process and play it back later in ArtRage 5. This is extremely useful for screen recording sessions, studying your painting process, and recreating your smaller mobile paintings at a much larger size. A script will repaint every stroke at your chosen size, so you wonââ¬â¢t lose painting quality by resizing your image.
Whatââ¬â¢s New in ArtRage 5?
New Tools
ArtRage 5 comes with several major new editing and painting tools, including a custom brush designer, Perspective, Guides, and a much more realistic Pencil tool.
ArtRage 5 includes additional image editing effects allowing you to add highlights, dropshadows, emboss, and liquefy effects to a layer. This edition also offers improved speed and processing power, so ArtRage now performs even better at larger sizes and has more stable crash recovery.

– Custom Brush Designer
– More Realistic Pencil and Pastel
– Layer Effects
– Warp
– Perspective
– Guides

Along with a complete reworking of every icon and menu, ArtRage 5 includes the option of a sleek ââ¬ËDockingââ¬â¢ mode that allows you to fully customize your workspace with floating and docking panels. You can toggle the entire interface into ââ¬ËLights Outââ¬â¢ which gives you dark menus and borders.
Weââ¬â¢ve also added in workflow improvements like the ability to rotate your entire painting from the Edit menu, work with multiple documents at once, redesigned the way Transform works and better layer navigation.

Jeremiah 25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah; the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; Jeremiah 25:2 the which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Jeremiah 25:3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. Jeremiah 25:4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear; Jeremiah 25:5 saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore: Jeremiah 25:6 and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. Jeremiah 25:7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.
Jeremiah 25:8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, Jeremiah 25:9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and [I will send] unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. Jeremiah 25:10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. Jeremiah 25:11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever. Jeremiah 25:13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. Jeremiah 25:14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them, even of them: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
Jeremiah 25:15 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. Jeremiah 25:16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. Jeremiah 25:17 Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: Jeremiah 25:18 [to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; Jeremiah 25:19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; Jeremiah 25:20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; Jeremiah 25:21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; Jeremiah 25:22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; Jeremiah 25:23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their hair] polled; Jeremiah 25:24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness; Jeremiah 25:25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; Jeremiah 25:26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. Jeremiah 25:27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. Jeremiah 25:28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ye shall surely drink. Jeremiah 25:29 For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. Jeremiah 25:30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar against his fold; he shall give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth. Jeremiah 25:31 A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 25:32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. Jeremiah 25:33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.
Jeremiah 25:34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are fully come, and I will break you in pieces, and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. Jeremiah 25:35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. Jeremiah 25:36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the howling of the principal of the flock! for the LORD layeth waste their pasture. Jeremiah 25:37 And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD. Jeremiah 25:38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing [sword], and because of his fierce anger.

text: mushrat 2 Posted March 30, 2013 I know soem of you follow me on facebook and the saga of the rail buggy that I won't give up on. so here it is, running again after an axle change i had to redo because something slipped in the transaxle when i put it in the first time and i didnt realize it. It's street legal and will do 80 on the highway with little effort but it vibrates your fillings at around 70. There is lots to fix on it. I think replacing the master cylinder for the break system is next. Followed by new push rod tubes, front shocks, front tires, and eventually have the other 4 mounts retapped so I can mount the originally intended 6 shocks on the back. Some day i have this dream of a new wiring harness but i think that is merely a dream. :) It's built on a 1968 VW Beetle pan with the original engine and transmission.

Static pressure describes the resistance experienced by air as it travels through an HVAC system. In other words, it is the pressure a fan must overcome to move air through ducts, as needed for heating, ventilation and cooling. Static pressure and airflow are the two main aspects that determine the operating point of a fan, as well as power consumption.
Various types of HVAC equipment establish an airflow through ducts, and two common examples are air-handling units (AHU) and packaged rooftop units (RTU). These pieces of equipment are designed to deliver a specific performance in terms of airflow and velocity.
For an HVAC system to operate normally, equipment capabilities must match the needs of the air duct system. In particular, air handling systems must be capable of overcoming the static pressure. Other parameters considered by HVAC designers include the installed cost, operating expenses, maintenance, noise and vibration.
To design duct systems and specify their air-handling equipment, first you need to calculate heat load and airflow according to ASHRAE standards. Then, optimal locations for air outlets, fans and air conditioning equipment can be specified. Finally, duct routes are established according to the available space.
During the design process, it is very important to avoid location conflicts with other building systems such as electrical and plumbing installations. However, this can be simplified with modern MEP design software.
HVAC engineers can achieve the best results if they consider the following basic rules when specifying air ducts:
Duct systems can be classified into three types based on their static pressure:
A higher static pressure leads to increased noise levels. Thus, the recommended practice is designing air duct systems to have the lowest static pressure that is technically possible.
There are three main methods that can be used to design air duct systems:
The equal friction method is the most common by far, given its ease of calculation and reduced time consumption. The other two methods are rarely used in the HVAC industry.
According to the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook Ch. 34, the equal friction method consists on sizing air ducts for a constant pressure loss per unit of length. The friction rate is described in terms of average pressure drop per hundred feet of duct.
The ASHRAE Handbook provides charts with a suggested range of friction rate and air velocity, to offer design flexibility. The most cost-effective friction rate changes depending on project conditions:
After the initial sizing procedure, pressure loss is calculated individually for all duct sections, and they are resized as needed to balance losses.
For design purposes, losses are classified by their source: those caused by the ducts themselves, and those caused by fittings.
Once all the duct losses have been accounted for, HVAC designers can easily select a fan that will provide the required static pressure and airflow.
HVAC design is a critical step of building projects, having a major impact on operation and maintenance expenses in the long run. Occupant comfort also depends strongly on a properly-specified HVAC system, and comfort can boost productivity in business settings. To achieve even higher performance, a ventilation system can be complemented with occupancy sensors and variable-frequency drives (VFD) for fan speed control.

Today, in the two minutes it took me to reverse out of a tiny parallel parking space that, please note, I'd managed to get into just fine on my own, not one, but two dudes stopped - in their cars in the middle of the road, blocking traffic- to try to "help" me as I did. Both got more or less huffy when I waved them along because duh they were just being soooo polite. I'm sure they totally stop whenever they see another dude leaving a parking space. It took everything I had to not roll down my window and point out to the second guy that the only reason I wasn't pulling out is that he was actually blocking my way. At no time did I ever touch another car or look like I needed help.
Other than, of course, the presence of my vagina having being its own bat signal for obviously needing car help.
Thanks guys! Sorry I emasculated you by not needing help to begin with and then was a super bitch by motioning to you I didn't need it! Next time I'll just drop my pants and appropriately make you feel good both about knowing so much about cars and for being so chivalrous!

John Wesley's Explanatory Noteson the Whole Bible
Chapter Overview
Verse 2Was mourning - Because he foresaw the many calamities that would befall the Jews for their sins, especially for destroying the Messiah, and rejecting his gospel.
Verse 4The first month - Nisan, which is March. Hiddekel - Or Tigris.
Verse 5A certain man - Very probably Christ, who appeared to Daniel in royal and priestly robes, and in so great brightness and majesty.
Verse 12He - Not Christ, but Gabriel.
Verse 13Withstood me - God suffered the wicked counsels of Cambyses to take place awhile; but Daniel by his prayers, and the angel by his power, overcame him at last: and this very thing laid a foundation of the ruin of the Persian monarchies. Michael - Michael here is commonly supposed to mean Christ. I remained - To counter-work their designs against the people of God.
Verse 15I set my face - I prostrated myself upon the earth. And I became dumb - Thro' astonishment.
Verse 16One like the sons of men - This likewise seems to have been Gabriel. I have retained no strength - Tho' he appeared to him, and spake to him as a man, yet Daniel could not bear his presence, without some dread.
Verse 20To fight - To oppose his mischievous designs.
Verse 21Michael - Christ alone is the protector of his church, when all the princes of the earth desert or oppose it.

Association Management and Self-Managed Communities
HOAs are common all over the United States, Jacksonville included. Even though HOAs substantially increase property values, they require a great deal of work to ensure they are managed efficiently. The amount of attention HOAs require varies depending on their total overall size. Neighborhoods that have hundreds of homes usually require additional attention to manage issues related to financial requests, residential complications, and maintenance. In contrast, smaller communities have a tendency to become self-managed. Both the larger and smaller communities have something in common in that they are not easy to manage on their own. In addition, HOAs are able to substantially improve their management practices through outsourcing their management needs to a management provider with established experience in the industry. This is where Clark Simson Miller can be a great deal of help to you! Our Remote Management Services will assist your HOA regardless of its specific requirements and overall size.

farah_doe asked:
The debt in question is £562 for a module of my University course which I had to retake last year, at the time I did not know the cost was so much as I was being paid in full by student finance.
I have now graduated University and these guys have been chasing me with letters phone calls etc for the full amount which I currently do not have.
As of yesterday, I received a letter instructing me that I have 14 days to pay the full amount or they will be instructing a solicitor, now I'm not sure if it's too late to start the three letter process?
The worst thing for me would be to get a black mark against my name via a CCJ, it's important to note that STA is acting on behalf of the University of have bought the debt from them, my University has not directly contacted me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot.
williams2583 replied:
university fees are a different kettle of fish than cc or loan debt and are easier to prove as they will most likely have some agreement to hand (as its quite new).I think you will have to pay one way or the other,the question is do you go for delaying tactics which might buy you 2-3 months are contact the dc and settle.Its your choice and if you don't have the cash then you might be able to agree a monthly settlement.
Tiggy replied:
Have they bought it or are they acting on behalf of ?
TBH as this is a recent debt which isn't subject to the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act and if they're working direct for the University (Ie hasn't been assigned), I think you stand very little chance of being able to defend against this, so your best bet may be offering a lower amount (50%) payable by instalments.
Tiggy replied:
Great minds Williams 🙂
williams2583 replied:
Think together !!!!!!! 😀 😀
farah_doe replied:
Thanks for the reply both!
STA's words were that they are managing the debt for the University.
It's not actually my tuition fees or student loan as they have been paid student finance England, which I am gradually paying back out of my income. It's a specific fee for one module that had to be retaken.
Thank you,
1saberwow replied:
Would it come under the cca 74 if you used your cc to pay ❓
williams2583 replied:
STA normally act just as agents ,so they don't have any rights.The debt remains with the university so this will give you some time if you require it as only the debt holder can take legal action so you could ignore for the moment.
farah_doe replied:
This is interesting!
So I should just wait for the University to contact me directly and diregard STA, even though they have threatened with a CCJ if no response withing 14 days?
Thank you,
williams2583 replied:
the 14 days is just a tactic to get you to pay and not only that but it is illegal to threaten ccj,s particularly as they are agents as only the debt holder can take you to court .We have seen STA quite a lot so worth searching on the site for other posts.I believe you can keep them at bay for a while but eventually will have to settle directly.

India has tagged a tough condition with the proposed $2 billion loan to Bangladesh. Bangladesh would have to spend as much as 75 per cent of the loan to purchase Indian goods for the projects to be undertaken with the loan.
Officials in the Economic Relations Division (ERD) said Bangladesh would need to procure construction material and hire consultants from India for the projects.
During the visit of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi to Bangladesh last June, Bangladesh and India signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for India to provide Bangladesh with a fresh $2 billion line of credit.
India's Export Import or EXIM Bank would provide the loan. Bangladesh had taken a $1 billion loan from India earlier. But the conditions of that loan were comparatively softer. The condition was that Bangladesh would make 65 per cent of its purchases from India in the case of infrastructural construction and would make 75 per cent purchase in other cases.
It was said at the time of signing the second line of credit that the conditions of the loan were like that of the first one.
But India has recently informed Bangladesh that it would have to make 75 per cent purchase from India for any type of projects to be undertaken in the second line of credit programme and the responsibility for implementing the projects would have to be given to the Indian firm.
Bangladesh's neighbour said firms from no other country would be able to take part in the tender process.
Indian High Commission in Dhaka has written to the ERD expressing its interest to complete the agreement between the Bangladesh government and the EXIM bank by August.
When contacted, Centre for Policy Dialogue executive director Mustafizur Rahman told Prothom Alo that it would not b e possible to take up several of the projects under the first LOC programme due to the purchase conditions.
He said it was said at the beginning of the first LOC that Bangladesh would need to make 80 per cent of its purchase from India under the projects but later it was cut down to 65 per cent.
"This time too, we will have to bargain to soften the purchase condition. Besides, we will have to choose such projects where we can benefit even out of the given condition," he added.
Mustafizur said Bangladesh as a least developed country is trying to trying to avail unconditional soft loans. "And developed countries have agreed to some extent as well. So, we will have to bargain with India."
The government has already fixed 13 projects to be taken under the second LOC from India and those are: turning Parbatipur-Kaunia metre-gauge railway line to double-gauge railway line, Khulna-Darshan double-lane railway line, Development of rail factory in Syedpur, Construction of 400KV line Baroaukuria to Bogra to Kaliakoir, Purchasing 500 trucks, 500 buses (300 double-decker and 200 articulated) for BRTC, Purchasing equipments for the roads and highways department, establishment of four medical college and hospital, setting up of National Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute, setting up of 49 Polytechnic Institute and Teachers Training Institutes, Construction of an inland container river port at Ashuganj and development of roads for the river port.
Two projects in the information and technology sector are also included in the list.
The ERD is scheduled to hold a meeting on Sunday (2 August) with the concerned ministry to discuss how the LOC would be effective to implement those projects.
"Officials concerned will put forward their opinions at the meeting and the agreement will be signed with the Indian side on the basis of their opinions," ERD's additional secretary Asif-uz Zaman told Prothom Alo.
He said Bangladesh may propose to soften the condition where it is applicable.
Most of the projects to be taken under the second LOC are of the public works department.
ERD officials said India would give Bangladesh a total of $230 million for constructing four-lane road from Ashuganj to Akhaura land port. If an Indian firm is required to implement the project, equipment worth over $170 million will have to be purchased from India, they said.
They also said earth, bricks, sand and cements would have to be purchased from India. And even, labourers would have to be hired from India because the rest of 25 per cent of the LOC would be required to give compensations to those whose lands would be acquired for constructing the road.

The section of midtown Manhattan that today is known as the Bryant Park area (on Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street behind the main branch of the New York Public Library) once was a spacious field with some small hills and flowing streams.
During 1776, an American force was dispatched from Harlem to this area to prevent the British from destroying patriot soldiers who were wavering and fleeing the king's regulars. The disorder of green militia before the world's greatest army nearly turned into a rout. The British trumpeters even took up a fox-hunting call and followed this with a taunt from the line of "Hoicks, Hoicks!" that was the traditional encouragement to the fox hounds.
General George Washington rushed to the scene, and a quick thinking aide seized the bridal of the general's horse and drew him from the field to avoid capture. Troops that saw him rush into the fray quickly rallied and stood firm to save the others.
Fire Destroys Classic Structures
The rural area far outside the city limits, within several decades after the war, became a potter's field for the poor and destitute. Later, it became the home of the Crystal Palace, a glass and iron structure that opened on July 14, 1853 for the "Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations."
Soon after, on October 5, 1858, the palace was destroyed within 30 minutes by fire that started in the lumber room. With the structure, a collection of art and manufactured products from around the world perished in the fire. Losses included armor from the Tower Of London, Sevres china, Gobelin tapestries and sculptor Carlo Marochetti's statue of Washington.
Firefighters rushed into the building to save the fire apparatus on exhibit, but their efforts were futile. More than 2,000 people were inside the building at the time, but no one died. One man was rescued seconds before the decorative dome collapsed.
The Latting Observatory, which stood more than 350 feet tall, once was located nearby. It, too, was consumed by fire (August 30, 1856). Together with the Crystal Palace, the design of these buildings resembled the symbol used for the 1939 New York World's Fair.
The area later became home to the Croton Reservoir and then to the library. Sharing the site was the Hippodrome, one of the largest places for amusement at the time.
The Hippodrome opened during 1905 and it had one of the world's largest stages. The auditorium was decorated in ivory, gold and silver. The lobbies were marble and stone, and 40,000 lights illuminated the theater. Its life was short. It was destroyed by the wrecker's ball during 1939.
From open land for revolutionary fighting and a potter's field to the location of classic structures and a reservoir, and then the home of the city's main library with a popular park, this area of New York City, during such a short period of time, continues to be the scene of diverse and changing history.

Catskill Mountain Railroad
The Catskill Mountain Railroad (reporting mark CMRR), is a heritage tourist railroad based in Kingston, New York, that began operations in 1982. The railroad leases a 5-mile portion of the former New York Central Railroad Catskill Mountain branch from Kingston to Stony Hollow, New York. The tracks are owned by Ulster County, New York which bought them in 1979 from estate of the Penn Central Railroad. The railroad's current permit with Ulster County expires on December 31, 2020.
In 1979, Ulster County purchased the 38.6-mile segment of the former Catskill Mountain Branch from Kingston to the county line near Highmount, which was to become the Catskill Mountain Railroad.
Catskill Mountain Railroad
In 1982, Ulster County leased its entire 38.6 mile portion of the line to the new Catskill Mountain Railroad (CMRR). On August 9, 1982, CMRR initially began operations in Phoenicia, using track cars and trailers to haul tourists and tubers three miles along Esopus Creek to Mt. Pleasant station. The railroad was incorporated on March 7, 1983 as a for-profit railroad corporation in the state of New York.
In 1985, the CMRR began running full-sized equipment consisting of CMRR No.1, "The Duck", a flat car and caboose. Earl Pardini became President to help guide them through the transition. Pardini was with the D&U at its startup, helping to train its engineers and conductors. He agreed to come aboard, and the CMRR embarked on a period of serious expansion.
In 1986, Ulster County reconnected the line with Conrail at Kingston. The railroad purchased a variety of second-hand locomotives, coaches and freight cars which were shipped by rail to Kingston. Some of the equipment was refurbished and used immediately, while the rest sat in storage until needed. Also in 1986, the CMRR signed its first multi-year lease with Ulster County, for five years, and began switching freight for the Kingston Recycling Center.
In 1987, a devastating flood washed out Campground Curve, between Phoenicia and Mt. Tremper. In conjunction with NYSDOT and Ulster County, this damage was repaired and service restored in 1988. Operations focused on Phoenicia to Mt. Tremper, with limited operations in Kingston.
Expansion and Setbacks 1991-2005
The railroad entered into a 25-year lease with Ulster County in 1991. Railroad operations ended at busy Route 28 in Mt. Pleasant. The crossing had been out of service for many years, and the railroad needed to replace it if it was to continue east toward Kingston. The project received approval and after about ten years, public funding was provided to complete reconstruction of the crossing and installation of warning lights and gates. The new crossing was put into service in October 2004, offering the railroad its first significant expansion.
Then tragedy struck CMRR. On April 1, 2005, a devastating flood nearly wiped out the railroad, and caused much damage to the tracks and equipment in Phoenicia. After several weeks of volunteer effort, the line was reopened in summer 2005. Around this time, interest increased in using some segments of the rail corridor in Ulster County for a recreational trail.
Volunteer Resurgence
During the winter of 2006, the railroad reorganized its efforts as new volunteers came forward. A group from the nearby Ulster & Delaware Railroad Historical Society were among the first to offer assistance. Brush-cutting and clearing the right of way took first priority. A high-profile activity with immediate results, the cleanup effort motivated more volunteers to join. By the end of 2006, the volunteer force had increased to 45 full members and 30 provisional members. They cleared nearly 20 miles of brush from the mainline.
Kingston Operations Resume
In 2007 the railroad began track repairs in Kingston in line with the "ski lift" concept recommended in the ALTA Engineering study for railroad operation from Kingston to West Hurley. The railroad restored tracks in Kingston, with service opening to Washington Avenue in December 2008. In late 2009, the railroad opened more track west of Washington Avenue and offered additional seasonal service throughout that year. From 2007 to 2009, close to two miles of track had been rebuilt in Kingston, from Cornell Street to the foot of Bridge C9.
For three years, the CMRR worked to complete the rehabilitation of Bridge C9 over Esopus Creek in Kingston. The bridge was opened for service on December 7, 2012, enabling track rehabilitation westward with Route 209 being the first destination. Route 209, MP 5.42, was reached on September 21, 2013, and Hurley Mountain Road, MP 5.94, was reached on November 16, 2014. The track is now open to MP 6.45 west of Hurley Mountain Road. The first passenger train to Route 209 ran on October 19, 2013, and the first to Hurley Mountain Road on November 21, 2014.
West End Expansion
Through 2007 and 2008, work also continued on opening the .6 mile Cold Brook Extension. The first train arrived at Cold Brook Station on July 4, 2008: the first regularly scheduled passenger train to arrive at the station since 1954. Because Cold Brook station remains privately owned, the railroad maintained no agency there and there are no facilities to board or discharge passengers. In 2009, the CMRR repaired track another .8 miles to the Boiceville Bridge at MP 21.3, for work trains only.
By 2010, the physical limit of track restoration was reached on the "western" end of the operable railroad. To the west of Bridge Street in Phoenicia is a major washout preventing any serious restoration work without outside funding. To the east, the railroad rebuilt tracks up to the limit of Bridge C30 (Boiceville Trestle). This was a total of 6.4 miles of operable track at its greatest extent.
Hurricane Irene
On August 28, 2011, CMRR was devastated by flooding as a result of Hurricane Irene. Flood waters inundated the yard at Phoenicia, scouring the right of way and threatening the depot. A significant washout occurred at Campground Curve, similar to the one in 1987. All operating equipment had been moved to safe ground at Mt. Tremper, east of Campground Curve. Additional damage had been incurred where damage from a previous washout was already underway. In the non-operating segment east of Cold Brook station, the most significant damage was the loss of three of the four spans of Boiceville Trestle (Bridge C30) to rising flood waters. There was no significant damage to the restored tracks in the Kingston area.
The CMRR resumed operations on September 10, 2011, on a shortened length of track near Mount Tremper. The washout at Campground Curve was repaired in late 2011, except for reinstallation of track. Operations west of Mt. Tremper commenced on August 5, 2012. In November 2012, the County informed the CMRR that several repair projects had been approved by FEMA. Seven projects, including restoration of the Boiceville Trestle, were approved for $2.3 million. However, the County informed CMRR that it would not begin the projects unless CMRR agreed to terminate its lease from Kingston to the Ashokan Reservoir.
On August 3, 2013, the CMRR started reconstruction work of track on Campground Curve as part of returning to Phoenicia. This was done assuming that the County would not initiate a FEMA-funded project for this repair. The CMRR completed repairs to Phoenicia on August 7, 2015.
At the end of its lease with Ulster County, the CMRR ran from Phoenicia at MP 27.5 to the washout at MP 23.3, as the FEMA funds were never released for the trestle and washout repairs.
U&D Corridor Transitions
On January 24, 2006, when the Kingston Daily Freeman announced "Trail Plan Could Mark End of Line for Railroad", trail advocates began promoting a plan to convert segments of the county-owned railroad corridor into a recreational path, which would limit the length and location of the tourist train excursions. ALTA Engineering was hired to devise a rail-with-trail plan for the line in Ulster County. The final report stated the following:
"The future vision of the Ulster & Delaware Rail + Trail is a significant opportunity for local communities, Ulster County, and the region. The combination of two historic tourist railroads, the trolley and railroad museums, restored historic sites, and a trail for multiple uses will complement the tourism and recreation economy of the Catskill Mountain Region. The project can become a model of sustainable transportation and cooperation between a wide range of public, private, and nonprofit partners."
On October 4, 2012, Ulster County Executive Michael P. Hein announced in his 2013 budget a plan to remove 32 miles of rails in Ulster County to be replaced by a trail, leaving the Phoenicia-Cold Brook segment, and ending Kingston operations. The plan was to start removing rails in 2013, using $642,000 in scrapping revenues to provide revenue for his budget. The budget was adopted by the Ulster County Legislature on December 4, 2012. The CMRR's lease, however, remains in effect until May 31, 2016, and there is no reference to scrapping the railroad in the proposed 2014 Ulster County Budget.
Three days after the 2013 budget was approved, the CMRR opened Bridge C9 in Kingston for passenger train service, and began bringing passengers across the bridge for the first time in over 50 years.
On February 19, 2013, CMRR published a rail-with-trail study for MP 3 to 11 in response to a request from the County made on October 15, 2012. The rail-with-trail plan was rejected without review by the county on March 7, 2013.
On June 5, 2013, Ulster County hired Andrea C. Ferster, Esq, who was also general counsel to the Rails to Trails Conservancy, to file an application to the Surface Transportation Board to "rail bank" the railroad for future trail use.
On June 12, 2013, CMRR was served with a Notice to Cure. In a meeting with the Ulster County Executive, held on June 24, 2013, the CMRR was asked to vacate the line from Kingston to the Ashokan reservoir, and told that unless it complied, its lease would be terminated on July 12. CMRR filed a Yellowstone Injunction on July 9 and was granted a TRO prohibiting the county from terminating the lease pending the outcome of a court decision on August 6. The Yellowstone Injunction was granted on November 6, 2013. Ulster County issued a notice of appeal on December 17, 2013.
On December 11, 2013, the outgoing New York City DEP commissioner announced a plan to support a trail along the U&D right of way from MP 10 to MP 21.6.
On December 8, 2014, the Ulster County Executive announced that, assuming certain requirements were met, a little more than two miles of tourist passenger train service could remain in Kingston, from the eastern end of Kingston Plaza, MP 3.6, to Hurley Mountain Road, MP 5.94.
On April 19, 2015, the Ulster County Legislature passed a resolution to create a nine-member legislator only committee to study the entire U&D corridor in Ulster County and make recommendations on long term use, including rail, trail or rail with trail with recommendations due by November 30, 2015.
On May 15, 2015, the Ulster County Legislature passed a resolution to sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to begin spending planning dollars on a future conversion of the 11.5 mile railroad easement owned by the County in the Ashokan Reservoir to trail use.
On December 15, 2015, Stone Consulting completed a report on the Highest and Best uses of the U&D Corridor.
On December 15, 2015, the Ulster County Legislature passed a resolution making rail with trail the official policy from Chandler Drive (MP 3.58) in Kingston to just past 28a in Stony Hollow (MP 8.33), allowing the railroad to continue operations in Kingston and for 4.75 miles west. The segment from 28a to MP 10 will be studied further "provided that trail connectivity co-located on the corridor shall be preserved". This gives the CMRR a potential long-term home in Kingston and could allow the railroad to expand west as far as MP 10. It also confirmed that rail will remain from the Route 28a bridge in Boiceville (MP 21.6) to Phoenicia (MP 27.9). Any further rail expansion along the north side of the Ashokan Reservoir would be dependent on consent from the NYCDEP and the Ulster County Legislature. The Stone Consulting report found there were no physical restrictions to rail alongside trail from MP 10 to 11, with the only restriction to rail use being imposed by the agreement between Ulster County and NYCDEP. This resolution effectively ends the fight on rail vs. trail on the former U&D corridor, with rail and trail proponents pledging to work together from now on.
On April 19, 2016, the County and the CMRR settled their lawsuit contingent on the CMRR vacating its yard at Cornell Street in Kingston on May 1, 2016, ceasing operations on May 31, 2016 (the end of its lease term), and removing its equipment from the railroad by July 30, 2016. The litigation cost the CMRR $700,000, but allowed the railroad to operate to the end of its lease with Ulster County on May 31, 2016.
On July 18, 2016, the Ulster County Executive announced that permits had been signed for the CMRR to continue operating in Kingston from MP 3.6 to 8.33 until December 31, 2020, and from MP 23.3 to 27.8 until October 31, 2016. The permits were issued on August 4, 2016, and service resumed on August 6, 2016.
On December 14, 2017, the Ulster County Legislature voted to remove all railroad tracks from MP 10.01 to MP 21.59, permanently severing the U&D Corridor, and eliminating the CMRR's plans to return to the Glenford Dike and Phoenicia with full-service passenger operations.
Phoenicia-Cold Brook
The CMRR operated a tourist excursion train from Phoenicia Railroad Station, Phoenicia, MP 27.5 to Cold Brook Railroad Station, MP 22.1. Its trains originated from the former U&D station in Phoenicia, which is also home to the Empire State Railway Museum. Passengers boarded trains at Phoenicia or Mount Tremper Railroad Station, MP 25.2.
Initially, service was provided by track cars hauling trailers between Phoenicia and Mount Tremper. Realizing that the future lies in conventional railroad equipment hauled by locomotives, two flatcars were rebuilt as open air bench cars to accommodate passengers. A Porter 50-ton switcher was enlisted to haul the expanded consist. A 1922-vintage wooden caboose often (ex-D&H 35952) brought up the rear, and offered additional capacity.
In early 2004 the caboose was taken out of service and replaced with a restored coach of Lackawanna heritage. This coach greatly increased the capacity of each train, and also helped offer "all-weather" service. In late 2004, service was extended to MP 22.7. It was extended further to Cold Brook Station, MP 22.1, on July 4, 2008.
On May 6, 2010, Phoenicia operations acquired a new locomotive, former LIRR/SIRY Alco S1 407, which was placed in service on May 7, 2010. It has been the workhorse engine for Phoenicia operations since the start of the 2010 season. A second coach was put into service on October 2, 2010, just in time for the Fall Foliage trains.
In 2011, construction of a new switch and siding began at MP 24.75, to park maintenance equipment and the work train. It was completed on May 25, 2012.
For the 2012 season, the train ran initially from Mt. Tremper west to MP 23.3 where subgrade repairs are necessary due to Hurricane Irene. On August 5, 2012, after repairs were made at MP 25.5, the passenger train began running west to the next damaged section at MP 25.8, one half mile west of Mt. Tremper. On August 6, 2015, service was restored to Phoenicia Station after extensive track repairs were completed by the CMRR.
Work trains generally consisted of transfer caboose 697 (ex-CR 18015) and "The Duck," a small Davenport switcher. Equipment restoration and maintenance takes place at the railroad's open-air facilities. The original Phoenicia section house is used by the railroad to store tools and supplies for the track crew.
On August 4, 2016, CMRR was granted a permit to resume operations on this segment of the U&D Corridor through October 31, 2016. However, the County has elected to use a rail bike (www.railexplorers.net) company as the operator for this segment starting in 2017. The CMRR moved all its equipment to its adjacent property in Phoenicia in January, 2017, where it remains today.
In May, 2017 Rail Explorers announced it would not be operating on the western section of the line in 2017, though it plans to start operations in 2018. The line is not being used in 2017.
Kingston-West Hurley
CMRR also had a yard in Kingston, referred to as "Cornell Street Yard." In 2009, a new siding was constructed to expand the yard facilities to allow for the storage and restoration of passenger cars for expanded tourist train operations. The CMRR was forced to vacate the yard by the County on May 1, 2016.
Since November 2006, volunteers have reopened track in Kingston. The passenger operable section stretches from Cornell Street (MP 3.0) to past Hurley Mountain Road (MP 6.45). Work trains access the line to MP 11 at the Glenford Dike at the Ashokan Reservoir.
On December 6, 2008, the railroad inaugurated seasonal tourist runs between Downs Street (MP 3.2) and Washington Avenue (MP 4.37). A small ticket office and loading platform was constructed off Westbrook Lane (MP 3.78) opposite Kingston Plaza to support passenger operations in 2008. Trains are powered by Alco RS-1 401 (ex-GMRC 401), and consist of converted flatcar 278 (ex-LBR 26) and refurbished caboose 675 (ex-PRR 477672). The critical Washington Avenue crossing was reopened for limited use in 2008, and the track was opened to Bridge C-9 (MP 5) on November 15, 2009 for the 2009 Kingston Holiday Train. Repairs to Bridge C9 started in September 2011, and were completed on December 3, 2012. The bridge was certified on December 7, 2012, and the first passenger train ran across the bridge on December 8. On September 21, 2013, CMRR workers completed track rehabilitation up to NYS Route 209 (MP 5.42). The next day, work began on the next extension past 209 to Hurley Mountain Road (MP 5.94). In late 2014 track was expanded to MP 6.13, and in late 2015 to MP 6.45, over 1/2 mile west of Hurley Mountain Road.
In April 2016, the line was reopened for work trains to MP 11 on the Glenford Dike at the Ashokan Reservoir.
CMRR's third base of operations was at MP 16.4 at Shokan, New York, at the site of the former Ashokan Railroad Station. The operating equipment there consisted of a self-powered crane, flat car, and an ex-Susquehanna caboose (privately owned). Shokan also served as a base for the CMRR's track car crews, who were charged with maintenance of the section of the line inaccessible to full sized equipment, from MP 11 to bridge C30 at MP 21.3. The CMRR removed all its equipment in Shokan by rail on July 21, 2016. All tracks at Shokan are scheduled for removal in 2018.
The CMRRs ridership dramatically increased with the addition of Polar Express and Thomas the Tank engine events in Kingston in 2014. Historic ridership is as follows:
2008 - Kingston 884, Phoenicia 7,155, total 8,039
2009 - Kingston 1,546, Phoenicia 6,767, total 8,313
2010 - Kingston 2,044, Phoenicia 10,211, total 12,255
2011 - Kingston 2,618, Phoenicia 6,684, total 9,302
2012 - Kingston 3,065, Phoenicia 8,463, total 11,528
2013 - Kingston 4,575, Phoenicia, 10,248, total 14,823
2014 - Kingston, 31,289, Phoenicia, 8,981, total 40,270
2015 - Kingston, 27,230, Phoenicia, 12,129, total 39,359
2016 - Kingston, 29,148, Phoenicia, 9,595, total 38,743
2017 - Kingston, 36,361 (estimated)
In 2016, through credit card receipts, the CMRR broke down the origins of its Polar Express ridership (24,196 riders) as follows:
Kingston and Ulster County - 10.6% Long Island and NYC - 23.5% Rockland and Sullivan Counties - 8.1% Orange County - 17.8% Westchester and Putnam County - 14.6% Dutchess County - 12.0% Capital Region - 2.2% Other NYS - .9% New Jersey - 3.7% Other US - 6.0% International - .2% Walk-ons - .3%
Long-term Goals
Kingston-Glenford Dike
Although the CMRR is only currently allowed to operate to MP 8.33 in Stony Hollow, the railroad may eventually be allowed to operate to Basin Road at MP 10.01 at the border of the NYCDEP easement.
The CMRR has requested of the County and the NYCDEP both a short extension to MP 10.3 so that it can bring passengers to the new rail trail trailhead on the Ashokan Reservoir Trail.
Additionally, the CMRR has requested from the County and the NYCDEP a further extension to the Glenford Dike at MP 11.1 so that it can run lunch, dinner and scenic trains to this particularly spectacular view of the Ashokan Reservoir visible from this location.
Kingston-Phoenicia (MP 2.9 to 27.85)
The CMRR's former long-term goal was to run tourist trains on the entire 25-mile run from Kingston to Phoenicia. The goal was negated on November 14, 2017, when the Ulster County legislature voted to remove the tracks from the middle third of the line for a rail trail.
West of Phoenicia (MP 27.85 to 41.4)
The CMRR never had plans to reopen this section of the line to service. However, the neighboring DURR in Delaware County has also expressed interest in resuming service possibly all the way to Big Indian (MP 36.4). Ulster County has no current plans for trail conversion of this section, but it is designated as trail-only in the County's long-term plans.
Interchange with CSX at Kingston
The CMRR has been isolated from the national network since Conrail removed its Kingston interchange switch in 1996. The CMRR had planned to eventually reconnect its line to the national rail network: CSX (successor to Conrail) at Kingston. However, the County plans to remove all rail from the CSX connection at MP 2.9 to Chandler Drive in 2018, thereby isolating the CMRR from the national rail system permanently, and eliminating any possibility of future freight operations. The CMRR continues to ask that rails be left in this section of the line embedded in the new asphalt trail so that the connection to CSX can be maintained for future use.
Stations and Maintenance Yards
The CMRR's current station at Westbrook Lane is temporary and the railroad seeks a permanent station in Kingston for its operations. Four locations have been proposed by the CMRR: 1) West End of Kingston Plaza; 2) Center of Kingston Plaza; 3) Best Western (near Washington Avenue); and 4) Midtown (at the former Kingston Train Station {near the CSX connection). To date no location has been worked out with the County and the City of Kingston.
Since being removed from its long-term yard at Cornell Street in Kingston, the CMRR has proposed four locations for a permanent yard at alternate locations in Kingston. To date no location has been worked out with the County and the City of Kingston. This forces the CMRR to store and maintain all its equipment out in the open on the main line.
Proposed Track Additions
The CMRR currently operates on a 5-mile track with a single 150 foot siding In Kingston, making operations and switching extremely difficult. The CMRR is requesting permission to install a run-around siding in Kingston and one at its eventual western terminus to eventually allow engine-first operation on the entire line.
Roster of equipment
CMRR owns two American Locomotive Company (ALCO) RS-1 locomotives, No. 401 (Ex-Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC) No. 401, Ex Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad (GM&O) No. 1052, Ex-Illinois Terminal Railroad No. 1056, née 756); and No. 2361 (former Alter Scrap No. 2361, Ex-Soo Line Railroad (SOO) 2361). Only 401 is operational at this time. In 2010, 2361 was repainted and evaluated for reactivation; it was given the new number of 400.
In May 2010, the CMRR acquired its latest locomotive, former Long Island Railroad/Staten Island Railway Alco S-1 407. This engine is the workhorse for operations out of Mt. Tremper and Phoenicia.
CMRR No. 29, "The Goat" is an Ex-Navy 50 ton H. K. Porter, Inc locomotive, which was a backup engine and main engine for worktrain service. CMRR No. 1, "The Duck", another worktrain locomotive, is an Ex-Army 38 ton Davenport Locomotive Works locomotive. Only "the Duck" is operational and is located currently in Phoenicia. No. 29 is currently for sale. It has a double-reduction gearing system in the trucks. The traction motors are mounted at 90 degrees to the axles, and have bevel pinions on the armature shafts. These bevel pinions drive a larger bevel ring gear in a gear case. On one truck, the locking nut on the traction motor armature shaft came loose, and the bevel pinion jammed in the ring gear, locking up the truck. The bevel pinion jammed against the ring gear, causing it to bend.
In 2014, the CMRR acquired a 1942 GE 45-tonner, numbered 42, from the Railroad Museum of New England. The locomotive is currently stored at the yard in Kingston.
Passenger equipment
Phoenicia equipment consists of two Ex-Navy 50 foot flatcars, No. 271 and 272, that have been converted to open-air passenger service with the addition of side walls and benches, and two former Erie Lackawanna Railway (EL) Multiple unit (MU) trailers that have been completely renovated: No. 4321 entered service as CMRR No. 701 in 2004, and No. 4332 entered service on October 2, 2010 as CMRR No. 702. Another MU trailer, No. 4322, has recently been moved from storage at Kingston for restoration back to active service. It will most likely be numbered as CMRR No. 703 upon completion.
Kingston equipment consists of two flat cars, one 40-foot, CMRR No. 278 (ex-Lowville & Beaver River No. 26), and another 50-foot (ex-Army No. 35112), which are each fitted with a canopy roof, four former Long Island Railroad commuter coaches, CMRR 2940, 2949, 2962, and 2911, and an N5B Caboose, CMRR No. 675 (Ex-PRR 477672, PC 22800, CR 20003). The CMRR recently required Ontario Northern 832 (former Norfolk & Western No. 1727) and is renovating the car for first class service.
Another U.S. Army 50 foot flatcar is being converted to passenger use. No. 35111, which is stored in Phoencia.
Other equipment
CMRR also rosters several pieces of freight equipment used in work train and storage service. In Kingston, this includes two 50-foot boxcars, former D&H 26076 and NYC 72462, used for storage. An ex-Army Difco dump car and 40-foot flat car CMRR 201 (Ex-LBR No. 27) are used for work train service. Additionally, the railroad has in storage west of Kingston a ballast hopper (former NYC No. 51467) and a gondola (former PRR No. 518399).
In Shokan, there is a self-powered ex-Navy crane, CMRR 991, a 40-foot tender flat CMRR 291 (ex-Army 35305), and a privately owned caboose CMRR 674 (ex Susquehanna 117), all used for work train service. The frame and trucks of former LS&I caboose No. 6, which were bought by a CMRR volunteer in the 1980s, are in storage at Shokan.
In Phoenicia, a 40-foot box car (Ex-LV 65100) is used for storage, and a former Army Difco dump car, a 40-foot flatcar, CMRR 202 (Ex-CV 7704) and an N6A transfer caboose, CMRR 697 (Ex NYC/PC/CR 18015), are used for worktrain service. Phoenicia equipment also includes a privately owned N5G steel caboose, CMRR 673 (former Lehigh Valley 95041). This caboose was used as a gift shop at Mt. Tremper for many years before it was returned to the rails in 2010.
