 New power being tested on the S&Y RR. The Spokane Portland & Seattle RR is testing a set of Baldwin AA sharks for the PFE express reefer run.

After they try out on that run, it would be nice to try them out on the iron ore run in Upper Michigan.  It would be great to see those Sharks work in the UP!  Thanks for sharing each Sunday - i look forward to the SPF.

Time to represent for the two-rail bro's.  A 355 Baldwin switcher I recently aquired.  And of course I can never leave well enough alone.  I fabricated handrails out of bar and tube brass.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Greetings Folks.  The economy seems to be picking up here on the Blueboard Central Division of American Flyer Lines.  I thought I would share some photos of a workday along the right of way.

Great photos all.  All I have to add is one of the videos I shot last Sunday at the Folkston Funnel in Folkston, GA.  It is a great place to watch trains.  Click on the photo below to get to the video.
