Lars
Jints won!
Something for this "holiday" Monday . . .
Lonely <still> over here!
My one for the day . . .
Good Morning - Nice cover. A WM passenger train is a rarity. Also, not a circus color unit in sight.
work safe
G'day!
For CM3: As close as I've gotten to riding the WM was a few years ago . . . experienced the dinner train from Cumberland, Maryland for an evening run to a local winery. Was great fun - but yeah, not the real thing.
Thanx, Lars, for the continuing support!
My offering for the day . . .
Enjoy!
Tom
Nice looking Zephyr poster! <sweet>
A steamer for the day!

Thanx, Lars!
Something NOT seen over here . . . .
1953 - The Clinchfield Route
Good Morning - That ain't no CC&O engine on the magazine cover (lol), but I'd like to read what they had to say bout the road back then. Fascinating operation in some very rugged country. BTW, the railroad is a vital part of CSX coal service today.
My offering for this fine day!
Yeah, Shane - one cannot tell a book by it's cover! BUT the issue description is as shown . . . go figger!
Nice one, Lars!
Mine for the day is . . . .
Those magazine covAHs are winnAHs! Too bad the "numbers" looking in can't make comments! <geesh> Much more fun ovAH at the bar!
My Friday offering . . .
Good Morning - More GN material at the bar today - check it out.
Great to see both of you here 'n at the bar!
Something from the UK . . .
Another UK poster to keep things "alive" on this lonely Thread . . .
Love the Brit posters!!
Here's a change of pace for the day . . .
TurboTrain VIA Rail/CN (from: http://www.trainweb.com/)
Good Morning: Fine artwork and a vintage turbo shot. I could never get used to the yellow nose, however. Turbo was an interesting ride as I did it more than a few times when it ran between Boston and NY. Best seat was in the bubble on the head end. I tried to sit on the "fireman's" side as you could see all of the instruments, etc. the engineer used. It was also good for watching signals, etc. Incidentally, the nose was actually clamshell doors that could be opened. Fiberglass, IIRC.
Good insights from Shane! Nice that you posted it over at the bar for the guyz to view!
Another Turbo . . . .
TurboTrain New Haven RR (from: www.trainweb.com)
Great one, Lars!
Here's another . . .
The Turbo visited Los Angeles' Union Passenger Terminal (LAUPT) during its tour of the United States in 1971. <Fair Use - Wikipedia.com>
Some nifty-neato-keeno Turbo Train "stuff" ovAH at the bar!
Shifting gears . . . .
Nice one Lars . . .
Another TurboTrain for the day!
Good Morning: Interesting selection of pictures. Turbo had a lot of color schemes throughout its career. Quiz for the day - where was the refuel and repair shop for Turbos when they ran on the NEC?
And the Turbo Train continues on here at the lonely thread . . .
Mine would be just a poor guess regarding where the refueling 'n repair facilities were for the Turb Train on the NEC. Tell us!! <grin>
One for the day . . .
CM3: I posited your question over at the bar, where at least you have a chance at getting a response!
Lars: An interesting road - jointly owned venture of the Pennsy & Reading, I believe!
Back to the Railroad Magazine . . . .
Another fine cover from the Railroad Magazine! <sweet>
Here's my daily . . . .
Good Morning - Fields Point, RI
PRSL was jointly owned as you suggested.
Nice coevr of the SOU steam engine and train - enjoyed the artisitc license as the mountains sort of look like Colorado and the trestle lloks like it came off the P&WV. Anyway, it's the spirit that counts.
Work safe
Thanx CM3 'n Lars for dropping by . . .
As mentioned at the bar - never wudda guessed Fields Point - never!
My offering for this fine day . . . .
Here's one worth having hung on your wall! The artist has graciously permitted me to use it - so enjoy!

Mighty fine magazine covAHs - love the circus train!
And that painting of my most favorITE road "does it" quite well for me!
My submission for Saturday . . . .
Joisey Central always a good pick - nice one Lars! <grin>
Here's my final for the day . . . .
