ECI Tour
Posted by rogerhensley on Monday, September 26, 2016 11:10 AM

Now just behind the trees, the ECI Special rolls on onto the countryside past the main yards of the ECI where a number of projects are underway. A caboose may be seen slightly off center and numerous cars and a twin hopper are in the foreground. The ECI still makes use of a caboose on a number of switching locals. And, yes, there are two steamers parked back by the diesel house.

The ECI passenger consist leaves the East Yards in June 2007 on its way to pick up passengers at the Anderson Station with F3A 1301 in the lead assisted by an F3B. It was photographed by a waiting railfan as it crosses the White River.

This is kind of running backward. Sorry.

The river scene looks wonderful! What are you using for water and waves?

I wish I could remember. It was a two part product that I bought at a large train show in Indianapolis a number of years ago. When it dried, I was delighted how it took shape and looked. I had used a Modge Podge product before but didn't like it so I put this over the top of it. Results? Great!

I had colored the base before I used this.

The ECI Special pulls slowly by the Anderson Station to bring the passenger cars to the platform. A number of passengers have gathered at the station for this Saturday excursion to southern Indiana.
