Awesome Tyco Santa Fe passenger set! The photos are taken at a VERY prototypical angle and the natural tree background enhances the scene. Nice!

Richie THe L I R R was good to provide both coaches and power for the excursion trip.
That is one if not the oldest railroad operating under its original name for its entire existence. I am surprised that the PRR didn't strip it on its original name like it did to all the other railroads it took over by basically force.

Beautiful action shots Jeff and Robert. Fast movers they are. Long Island Railroad employees enjoy the trips to Bergen Point NJ for PGW wonderful service Frank.
Next we see a freight run headed south to eastern Texas with much needed supplies and clothing for hurricane victims. The situation is critical at this stage to get there quickly.
Conrail GP35 unit 3073 heads a 25 car set to meet with Red Cross officials to disperse the supplies to those victims. Photo taken near Tuscaloosa Alabama.

Chops, nice video and I especially like the ending with a classic Santa Fe steamer! Nice Great Northern RS Alco, wks! The second photo showing a frontal view of the locomotive looks great.
Here is my Horseshoe Curve Weekly, a post I publish every Saturday on my website, which chronicles action seen on my layout -- the Horseshoe Curve Branch Line. Enjoy!
Penn Central F7 hauls cabooses
Around 9 AM, a Penn Central F7 locomotive was spotted entering the Horseshoe Curve, hauling two cabooses still wearing the Pennsylvania RR scheme. The F7 was assigned to track inspection duty.

The news on this end is that Mr. Milo Rotund purchased himself a trolley for his private use and the transport of that same trolley from the point of sale to the shops where it is intended to be refurbished and retrofitted was captured by an amateur photographer . . .
And here we can see Mr. Milo Rotund enjoying the view from the transport train . . .

Impressive Penn Central consist you saw Jeff. The CNJ helper unit was also great. Awesome steam action in Bergen Point Frank. Those oversized bottle caps show that huge amounts of brew are consumed by the Frankford crew.
Next photo is of a train set with a colorful caboose departing Eustis Nebraska.
Always peaceful in that area.

For the Horseshoe Curve Weekly that I just posted on my website (http://rputnick777.wixsite.com/horseshoecurveline), I decided to take a video of action on my N-Scale layout entitled "The Horseshoe Curve Branch Line." Specifically, it is a video of the PRR's "Mountain View" passenger train, led by an E8.
Enjoy! https://vimeo.com/238213560

Among the most beautiful locomotives and best paint schemes
ever. Love the heavyweight consist. On youtube is a 1960's
"White Paper" re-run featuring the last days of the NYNH&H.
Some very interesting conversations between union rank-and-
file as no one can quite grasp that world has changed and
everyone wants a car or go by jet.

A busy day outside of Hoboken. The barren landscape will soon spring to life with
lush greenery. A Conrail F9, fresh out of the shops from a motor overhaul
puts in revenue miles, while Amtrak shoulders the grade towards Grand Central
