WOW!!! The train talk is unbelievable!! I mean I have missed so much.
Whats going on. The train topic off or something.
Anyway. Not a lot new but this.
Two U boats sit outside devol tower waiting for any train that stalls on the hill. The Train order board is lit up and is red at the moment for the next train. It looks as if it is raining at the moment and I liked how it turned out.
And this. You can see my little steeple cab sitting on the shelf. This my train shelf and diplays some of my best stuff. Only missing my Bipolar. Which of course is getting it's decals at the moment.
Happy railroading.

So I went to the trolley museum this Saturday and when I got in there were people playing on top of the boxcar! Well I told them to get down and then when the trolley came I got the reverser from the motorman who promptly left leaving me as the only motorman there. But all in all it was still a good day saw some trains go by on the Pan Am line and stuff.

MAD RAILROAD DISEASE
Highly Contagious To Males Of ALL Ages!!
The Symptoms: The afficted becomes confiused and agitated when not near any type of railroad. Will wander around dazed and disoriented, mumbling odd words like: run-bys, coal tipple, and crossovers. Often accused of not listening to wife. At the sight of a railroad, common behavior includes hyperness, sweating, and occasional hooting and hollering. THIS IS NORMAL DO NOT BE ALARMED!!
This Maddness is NOT fatal.
(exept to people who think trains are gay, stupid, only for small children, and to people who make fun of you at school/work of having this disease)
Cure (or something that keeps the infected person at ease)
Hospitalization is NOT NESSARY!! The affected must be surrounded by items of railroad interest. Should be encouraged to spend time sharing ideams other sufferers and Railroad fans. Train chasing and photography shoots will help. Incase of emergency contact your nearest train club or have to affected spend a weekend at local train yard.
This has been a public anouncement.
good luck to all of you
Quick we must take advanced strains of this disease and spread them throughout the populus. Operation: Rerailer is go!
Howdy fella. You a UP fan?
Not really it's just that you don't see a lot of UP power up in my parts. Here is a picture I took recently of some vintage Soo Line units.
How the hell do you post pictures?

SD60s hmm. well, how long ago was this picture taken. I know The Soo units have been sent for repainting. But that is all that I have heard. They had them all lined up in Minneapolis/ St. Paul ready to be sent down. A friend got a picture of them before they left.
It looks to me that those guys have them wound out!! How fast do they come through your part of town?
BTW: I like the sound of operation rerailer!!
Happy railroading
I concer, that is a darn good catch.
Can you ever go wrong with a trio of SD60s? A very nice catch....
James, what you might have seen with the lined up set of SD60s were ones that went to a leasing company somewhere, I belive CEFX. There was a big transfer run of them around the St Paul area somewhere here a while back, something like 10 SD60s on one train! That might be what you were thinking of. That, and I know a few more went down the Indiana Railroad a while back, although you probably knew about that one.

YA!! thats it. Thats what Will said. All I know is, they won't be coming back the same. So I would get as many pics of them as possible. Thanks for the heads up.
BTW: were is this leasing company anyway, This CEFX.
Not very long ago, maybe a month or two months ago. I took this pic in Shelburn Falls MA at the trolley museum. The museum is next to the Pan scAM right of way and when we here a train coming everyone stops what they are doing and waits by the tracks.
Oh and here are some more pics.
