Good Morning

"Orange Blossom" piece brought back some memories of granny's trips to Florida yrs. ago.  She prefered the SAL over any of the other roads that ran down there from the "frozen north."  I may even have one of those cards somewhere.

Southern cover was interesting.  The E unit is at Washington, DC.  The locomotive on the lower left is a DL109.  They had a few of them which, IIRC, used to run on the "Tennessean."

work safe

Hi TOM

I though I would pop over from the bar and add a couple of pics to the great ones already here.

A dome on a dome car.

UP diesel in Mo-Pac heritage colours.

They should enlarge.

Hello,

This is a rarity for me as I do not generally engage in dialogue on these forums. I really don't enjoy doing it. But I do enjoy looking in and your site is a very interesting one. I have browsed through it many, many times.

Too bad the original intent didn't catch on (page one) HOWEVER what you are doing with the photograph posts is very entertaining.

Nicely done to the man called siberianmo and his friends from the bar called Our Place. Thumbs Up [tup]
