Thank you Jack, I try to show the electric trains in a setting that focus on a specific event. In this case, the transfer of reefers between the Northern Pacific and its sister company the Spokane Portland & Seattle.

BillT......I really enjoy your SPF pictures because your settings content differ.  Whether that be the railroad or the considt theme.  This week your pics stimulated a sinful food craving!!  Smile, Wink & Grin  Your pictures always come out clear as can be so that nothing in the detail gets lost.

Buckeye.......I think you lost your bearings.  Isn't that an Indiana-based railroad?  Laugh  

Jack.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.

Dennis.....Your friend wasn't from Michigan with a degree in Agriculture was he?  I have two of the Lionel Purdue cars and the Williams Gold and Black caboose to go with the BL2.   I searched all over the country for that caboose.  Now you can start searching for your friend. Big Smile

Buckeye, my friend who owned the railroad we used when making "Fireproof" was a Purdue grad and big time fan.  When the Lionel Purdue car came out, I got him one for Christmas.  Of course, having that car, he was obligated to go and get a matching loco....yep, Monon BL2.  Your photos brought back memories....thanks.

Thanks guys for posting.
Dennis
