Ahoy Cap'n Tom!
Having a hulluvatime today on the net . . . can't access photobucket . . . took well ovAh 3 hours just to get here!
So best I can do is drop by with a "hello" 'n keep up the daily posts!
Until the next time! Lars
Good seeing Lars 'n Rob hard "at it"!
One of my favorite books 'n book covers! Makes it more meaningful since we've traveled aboard "The Canadian" <VIA Rail version> on two round-trips across Canada!
Morning folks another wet and cold one here I see that the bookmobiles been in always nice to see. Lars that SW is letteerd for a car parts plant CAND is the acronym for them ( sorry can't think of the name off hand ) they are a Magna owned plant though adn have liekly cycled through 50 owners by now. The locomotive belongs to OSR but is leased to the plant, it's an ex CP Rail unit. So for todays selection.
PS Lars maybe you should forget about teh wheel and go directly to the black jack tables
enjoy Rob
A couple shots of GP7's in mainline service in the early 90's, From my last forray to Chicagoland

Hey Rob! That's an interesting switcher - what's with the "CAND"
Awwwwwwww shucks fellas, ain't no big deal . . . just wish I had this good fortune when it comes to playing the wheel!

Gday folks. I see that the bookmobiles have been busy over here again, all good. It tis to bad that more conversation doesn't happen here but "whatcanyoudo". I think more Alco's from me today.
Rob
A CLASSIC railway book from the UK that we're having a bit of fun with over at the bar:
TGV's - Alco's 'n we can't get anything going with conversation. Pretty much speaks for itself, huh
Good to see our trolleyMAN stop by . . .
My offering for this gloomy Monday where I'm at . . .
Hmmm Classic Alco's and TGV's on the same thread , where else but here eh Here's another classic Alco for everyone.
Way to go Lars . . . love those Alcos . . .

Howdy to Lars 'n Rob . . .
Something featured over at the bar . . .
morning gents. I see that we are still perking along today, a fine selection from the Lars bookmobile. It's amazing how many railroad books have been produced over the years,not that I'm complaining. Here's a tidbit from myself today.
Things are lookin' mighty fine ovAH here, in spite of not attracting any "new blood." The "hits" continue - but apparently there's far fewer who wanna engage in conversation . . . such is life, huh
My offering for this Thursday . . .
Always thought that combined GT & CN ad was "cool" . . . nice one Rob! And as always, Lars keeps us going with those great book covers . . . .
Something from north of the US border . . .
Gday folks, bad story Lars , I will tell over at the bar , suffice to say we got sold a bum steer to be sure Interesting cover for today sir.Here's another one from me.
Good stuff continuing from Da Bossman 'n Rob . . .
WHAT is this about NOT being permitted in the dome car???? Something to be explained ovAH at the bAH I'd say. Sounds like something got lost in the cracks . . .
Mine for the day . . .
Evening gents. Yup the barflies will get the vacation shots on some of the upcomming saturday's as well. lars I have to say that the dome looked good but we were not able to partake of it's pleasures, that story to will come up at the bar eventually , suffice to say our Ocean trip was not as memorable as it should have been. Long story short we got sold a hill of beans by teh station agent in Brantfiord where we bought our tickets ( next long train trip we will book through the central ticketting office )We didn't get a sleeper ticket so weer not allowed to enter the "better" relms of the train ie the dinners or the Dome car.
Loved the book and poster pics for today gents here's my contribution to the "lonely" thread.
Something really different from Rob . . . and I agree, Post those over at the bar - the guys will appreciate 'em far more than what I expect you'll get here . . .
Lars - you keep on keeping on, Mate!
The trolleyMAN figured out how to "do" his vacation shots!
So what did you think of your ride in the dome Great way to travel for sure! Looks kinda <funky> attached to those European cars though . . . I liked it bettAH when it was an all Budd consist <the way it should be!>
Hey! Aren't you suppposed to be posting these at the bAH?????
Depot photos are fine too . . .
My offering for the day . . .
