Looks likes she be just out the wash bay! Looks downright polished.
I always did like Tyco's pseudo G, and am just now noticing, for
the very first time, the Tyco design team left off the upper, or
lower, air intakes, which projects the main view of the thing
as sleek. Fabulous shot: the bush flowers are reflected int the
side panel of said G. The cross member tower strongly
suggests catenary is present. The back ground is un-
encumbered. This would definitely be upon my imaginary
Tyco Calendar. Superlative. I'll say it again: superlative.

I rather liked the way only a piece of the E 60 came through, but one can

I have never seen a Beal Street before. Nob Hill reflects nicely
against the inset with statue. The lady's coat in Coney Island
matches the paint scheme. As does Broadway the dress. The
wood trim and Beal St. are the same rich brown. Always
a good eye for color, WKS!

 You know me too well, WKS! The McNeal lineage began its American journey in Altoona.
I once was in Altoona and stayed at the Penn Alto Hotel. A grand old structure that seemed frozen
in time. I went into the teak phone booth (never see that again) and looked up "McNeal" in the
white pages. There was like seven pages of McNeal's in there! Hope they weren't too closely related.
Lots of rolling thunder at the exhibt we had just recently, and a electric commuter train that might
seem familiar, if out place, to yourself:

Wonderful video Jeff in your post a week ago.

Will run for three months on PGW trackage to see if PGW orders more sets.
Smooth runner with comfortable seats and elegant amenities. First class all the way.
Shame that local youths throw bottles at her. They will be dealt
with the PGW police. Location at Frankbeer New Jersey.

We settle in a bucolic setting at Olear Farms near Frank Estates Tennessee
awaiting the arrival of a railfan excursion run with brilliant weather conditions.
Doing the honors today is Lima built Berkshire steam engine 1225.
She pulls a four car set filled with happy passengers enjoying the comfortable weather.
Two hundred mile roundtrip between here and Kensville Tennessee.
Scenic rolling hills with winding river views make for a delightful trip today.
She speeds ahead as we listen to her whistle sounds that echoes thru the valley.
