I like big blue Ed. Being that I model Great Northern-Northern Pacific, I don't have the Big Blue loco, (maybe I should get one) but I do have Conrail Rolling Stock.
I swear that water tower had two onions to the left side of Vidalia Nittany. Little blurry, couldn't quite tell
Always liked the Horse Logo on Northfolk and Southern Kevin. I have a few but I missed out on a really cool one.
That drab green Canadian Steamer is Choice Wayne. I'd like to get my hands on that one to model.
I do like BLUE!
With that I will post Green Machine Again!
GREEN MACHINE!

gmpullman...I miss Big Blue! Ed
I could give you a link to it, but don't want to get in trouble here.
Instead, here's a bit of the one to which you're referring, captured quite a few years ago, a couple of miles from where I live, here in southern Ontario...
Overmod I miss the world where SD50s were brand-new sophisticated big power!
I miss the world where SD50s were brand-new sophisticated big power!
I miss stuff too, but from a bit further back (late '60s or early '70s, I think)...
...while this one's from one of a few summers in the mid-70s, when she was used as the regular power on the Wednesday & Saturday trains between Toronto and Niagara Falls, normally covered by RDCs...
...these views were taken on the layover and turn-around near the Falls...
...while this one was a fan trip, on a different line...

Here is some weird looking techno-toaster on wheels I saw at the NORFOLK SOUTHERN yard in Bluefield, West Virginia.

Please don't forget Mr. Green Jeans and Dancing Bear.
Being that I am a long back admirer of orange and black Great Northern color scheme. Those diesel locomotives look really good Nittany.
And that Georgia Vidalia Sweet Onion I wait for every year to get seasonally, ...Superb
I give thanks for that
Three Buffalo & Pittsburgh SD45s leading a train earlier this summer...in Vidalia, Georgia?
Turns out that the G&W sent a few BPRR units down to the Georgia Central. Not that odd. What is odd, though, and seemingly improbable: my wife is from Vidalia and the next town over is Lyons, GA. My mother-in-law's family is in Lyons. I'm from Butler, PA, where the home shop for these BPRR locomotives is.
For extra fun, BPRR 458 is the trailing unit through Coal Hollow, PA at the last modular show I was able to attend before the pandemic.
Never too late for a show Ringo!
It's a good thing you caught that because no one else did with the exception of the people you were there with.
Certainly looks, ...sounds good to me
Little late to the show, but on a road trip up to Iron River Wi and found these guys hanging out at a railway mueseum! had to pull over and grab a picture!
Its up in Trego Wi. I guess the run excursion trains out of there with F units but did not see any that day. Also behind it was a very long string of frieght cars ( maybe in storage ) they all looked like they were modern but they have been sitting there since I can remember going up there. Theres probably 200 cars in a row, broken up at the crossings. Not sure why their there. Now looking at google earth, It looks like theres another meuseum about 5 miles south next to an abandoned roundhouse. Going to have to stop there my next time up!
Great shot of a clean Conrail SD50. I miss it too.

A classic Kevin, Just like old muscle machines it would be fun to see her restored.
I love old weathered locomotives and rolling stock. I bet that old GP has some stories to tell if she could only talk.
I must say I don't think I could ever get myself to weather my N scale locomotives. I would have to brush up my skills and get really good at it before I would ever consider it. They just cost too darn much.
I saw this dilapidated old GP when I was in Michigan:
I didn't notice this thread had come up again until after appetizer time this evening.
I liked them all, especially the Steamers. I've always been partial to those.
Another dead horse but I'm sure she was really cool when she had her day..... she still looks cool, just ain't going anywhere anymore

Thanks Batman! I'm just replying now, I couldn't remember the thread that I asked this question on. I'd never been to Banff (and Jasper) before. In addition to the trains, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking! Northern Idaho is nice, but the scenery up in that area of Alberta and British Columbia is just spectacular.
corsiar Here are a few pictures I found. Where I work is right next to the BNSF 2 main line track running through the Kent valley in Washington. Everything comes through, BNSF, UP if their track is getting worked on, Amtrak, Northwest Cascade, and the Sounder. Everytime something unique comes pass by I dont have the cell phone. A Ferromex came through last week. Month ago there was a CSX.

I just gots to say's
I'm was glad BNSF chose the old colors of Great Northern to bring them back to the modern day when they made that decision.
Same colors different day! But do you see the better green hue in the black?
The upgrading of the super dark green to Black (Pullman Green)....Oh Well? I'm glad the Omaha orange stayed and yellow leaf is yellow.
I liked how the old colors transferred to our modern day.
I do have to say I liked the pullman green better than the black.
Some nice old parts...... Parts is parts.
I searched my logs up and down and this is all I could find for old parts
I was thinking it might be acceptable
This part might work with one of your parts
I'll see you and raise you.

Well, I actually caught that one moving! While driving around Missoula I heard a locomotive horn and turned around to see that geep poke it’s nose out from behind that building. So it wasn’t quite parked!

And another.
They seem to have some long locomotives over there in North Dakota.
It appears to me a Canadian National locomotive was bought and renamed.
