Great consist with my favorite locomotive, the GG1. Magnificent McGinnis paint scheme, to boot!
Meanwhile, across the fruited plain, a Bimbo Bakery truck pauses before crossing the busy double track in El Paso, Texas:

While another pauses near the Felenite Depot in El Paso, having delivered a batch.

Later that night...

The Washingtonian passes by...

Always interesting subject equipment you see Jeff. That pretty sleek train set is a fast glider for sure.






Too early for Independence Day but a colorful set is always a pleasure to see. Freight delivery for the good residents of Independence Iowa on a sunny day.

Some years later, I spotted this Amtrak MOW crew outside of Hackensack, NJ...Gone are the PC Budds.

An interesting engine makes her way thru Melissa Notch Ontario.

Near the end of the afternoon as shadows creep up.

Cool comfortable temperatures this late afternoon.

Darkness is upon us as the engine travels toward home.

She had a busy day at work as a helper pusher unit in the steep grades of this branch line.

Will reach her destination of Sarnia Ontario in three hours.

We arrived in Sarnia Ontario as the helper pusher unit rests for the night. The red eye local leaves to shuttle nocturnal passengers to their families.

Thank you Robert. Colorful Santa Fe set you saw in action.

Shark week continues with some sightings. Thankfully no teeth to worry about.

Sighted near Robertsdale Pennsylvania. Maybe the Shark master has seen more sharks in his neck of the woods.

Never seen the Beal Street Line, before, nice.

I have it on good information it was later sold to the BN, and now sports green.

As I get time and try to get going on this big hill, the centerpiece of this new layout I need to do something to get it going and I just am not doing anything but playing around with the trains and buildings. Maybe today I'll get something done. It is just a lot of trains and buildings and one big old fool trying to get ideas or make the ones I thought of already. frank

A preponderance of turn of 1880 to 1890, rarely done. Nice. Only the water tower is perhaps out of time.
