G'day!
Nice work from Lars 'n BK . . . SP is fine with me too!
Enjoy!
Tom
G-day Tom and all present.
I have seen some nice photos out there. Including Domes, trolleys, and the X2000.
Very nice everyone.
How about I start off with a few of my favorites.
This is near townsend, Montana. An ATSF SD40 is in the lead still in it's original blue and yellow.
One of my favorite Alcos of all time is the RS-11. I don't exactly know why but I do like the shape of it and the sound. Alcos are some of the greatest. LV RS-11 #7643 sits at a roundhouse in March of 1976.
Of course we must have a Milwaukee road picture in there somewhere. Steeple cab E82 and Little Joe E75 sit in silence waiting for there next task. locomotives aitting at Deer Lodge, Montana in August of 1947.
Happy railroading
James
Ahoy Cap'n Tom!
I read that book about the SP's Golden State getting caught in that snow. Good read!
Nice stuff from James. One would think he likes the Milwaukee Road, huh
My contribution for the day comes from a railroad where there's a family history - MINE! The B&O.
Until the next time!
Lars
A bit late, but still here . . . Thanx James 'n Lars for the Pix!

Note the flood lights on the roof!
Domes of any stripe flick my switch!
Here's something we haven't seen for awhile . . . .
Aerotrain by GM EMD (Fair Use)
Good Morning Captain Tom!
The train depicted from Lars reminds me of one I saw in Toronto many years ago. As a non-rail fan and someone who used rail as a means to get from one place to another rather than for the "ultimate" enjoyment of it all, I cannot tell you much more about it, other than it resembled the photo on this page.

BK in Alberta, Canada's beautiful high mountain country!
G-day Tom amd all present!
I see some nice looking pictures out there. Nice Aero train pics and a nice C&O Dome car.
Now it's time for some more pics!
Now here is a colorful passenger train. This is the Chessie "Safety" Express, taken in Somerset, PA on September 13, 1981. Take a look at the second car on the train. That's Super Dome of some type.
I thought this was quite a photo. 2 SD40-2s are running light. Taken at Bloomington, MD in September of 1980. That bridge is very unique structure. Very cool.
No more Milwaukee Road pictures for this week, holding off for next Tuesday!
Good to see ya, James - enjoyed the Chessie Pix!
Thanx, Lars 'n BK for the Aerotrain Pix . . . . here's another!
Rock Island Aerotrain at the St. Louis Museum of Transportation (Kirkwood, MO)
So the lonely thread continues with James pitching in as well . . . nice!
I've always liked the looks of this herald and perhaps we can get something going on the Northern Pacifc!
See ya at the bar . . .
Northern Pacific - a good suggestion!

G-day Tom and all present!
The Northern Pacific, another of my favorite railroads besides the Milwaukee Road.
This, I thought was a cool picture. The Northern Pacific, The Great Northern, and The burlington route. All will, someday along with the SP&S, will become the Burlington Northern. But a cool photo none-the-less.

The North Coast limited races along with it's 14 car train. 3 FP9s lead the train.

Hey James! Nice stuff . . . you should consider posting them at the bar, where you know the guys will appreciate 'em. Nothing happening here other than talking amongst ourselves, which we can do there!
I'm only here 'til Tom pulls the plug . . .

Rather quiet these past couple of days, but then what's new, huh
Things over at the bar are perking along . . .
My contribution for this Monday:
I see my bookend has been in . . . no particular theme over here, but I left my posting on a bit of our Australian holiday over at the bar.
Nice Northern Pacific "book cover" from my "bookend," BK!
As we are featuring the Milwaukee Road over at the bar, here's a sample . . .
And a sample from my offering over at the bar for our Milwaukee Road theme . . .
G'day Cap'n Tom!
Milwaukee Road continues here on the "lonely thread" . . . .
Thought I would add another CMSTPP to the collection here, as things over at the bar keep humming along!
Time for something else . . .
One more, then I'm gone-zo!
Thanx for the Alaska "stuff," Lars! Nothing wrong with those . . . .
ARR Coastal Classic at Anchorage (from my personal files)
RDC's at the end of the consist? How does that work? Nice looking stuff from your Alaskan adventure! Let's discuss this further at the bar . . .
Thanx for keeping things going, Lars! Been that kinda week for me . . .
St. Patrick's Day over at the bar, so here's a bit o' the Irish for those who give a Rat's Patoot!

Just stopped by to keep this lonely thread up 'n runnin' . . .
A great St. Paddy's Day here in NYC and aside from no green line, it was reminiscent of so many others I've had the privilege to march in. A great time.
Nice Irish stuff from you, mate!
So, switching gears a bit, here's my offering . . . .

Nice work, Lars - always enjoy the White Pass & Yukon!
No, I haven't given up on this lonely Thread - just have other things going on aside from idling away my life in the Ether!
Something different . . . .
New York Central Aerotrain
Anything with the "central" in it flicks my Bic!
Good to see ya over here at this out post in cyber space. Lots of material on these pages, and I'll betchaboots not very many take the time to check 'em out.
Anyway, here's my "daily" drop . . . . ("lifted" from a post of yours on the "old" bar thread - hope you don't mind!)
