I am happy how your different camera angles keep me thinking you are photographing on new venues wks.
That little Burlington switcher engine is one of my favorites and it is great to see one bombing along at Run 8.
Nice use of color on color. Brings joy to our eyes. Barry that is some terrific work. Love the buggies.
We see Armadillo Central engine passing thru Foglite Creek New Mexico.

My friends and I are relaxing trackside waiting for the Amtrak to roll by us.
Meanwhile we laugh away into the night swapping train stories.
Now we see a Royal Gorge excursion train slide past us.

A group of used tank cars came into the car shop at Frankford yards Bergen Point.
They sat at a wreck seen for almost a year.
The owners giving the PGW the contract to refurbish them to where they can be useful tank cars again.
They arrived on flat cars with missing or with broken couplers and trucks due to the derailment they experienced.
The tanks themselves look to be in good condition with paint a little scratched up.
Here are the three Crystal Car line cars with new trucks and couplers.
The tanks and frames have had all their testing done and some accessories still need replacement.
The work is coming along at a good pace.

Switcher pulls a three car set as a tourist train.
Another train with a delivery of fruit passes Maiden Creek.

Great photos guys. Love that contrast of a green and red and yellow box car.
Against a green and yellow and red landscape. Nice use of perspective.
Pennsylvania Railroad set rounds the curve at Lebanon Pennsylvania.

Next we see a four car passenger set during a nice conference afternoon.
Due to heavy freight train activity the Amtrak train is running two hours late.

Some converted trolleys made into solar powered vehicles await the afternoon rush hour service in El Paso Texas.
Our friend Jeff loves the quick and quiet rides of these trolley units. Definitely a pleasure to ride in them daily.
