Hi Tom, Lars and Rob,
Just passing by and having a "nosey" at all the nice pics!
Lars. You are on a real "WINNAHS" streak over here as well!
See ya, Allan
Evening. Who would a thunk it 2400 posts and counting. Way to guy Lars da king oh the milestones Not bad pictures and covers either. Nice to see Allan pop in for a looksie as well
Here's a tidbit from myself today as well.
OSR's leased SW1200RS , leased to an auto parts plant in St Thomas Ontario
Great to see Allan from NZ check in to view the pix!
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!
Mine for this day . . .
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
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!
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
Not to worry Lars - with all the Posts you've made over here . . . <geesh> don't worry 'bout it.
Something from way back . . .
1944 Speeding Through the West
Those darn comp gremlin's. Oh well Lars we know that your heart is in the right place,heck most people don't even drop by to say hello here.A couple nice covers from teh good captain as well so all in all it's a good(ish) day
Here's some more new old classic diesels still earning their keep.
Enjoy Rob
Good that Rob helped to keep things movin' ovAH here . . . I'm finally able to access everything again. <geesh>
Love those Railroad Magazine covAHs from Da Bossman!
Something different for this Friday . . .

Howdy hi there folks. Good to see Lars back up and running,and a fine book on Grand central good stuff sir. Here's a quicky for this afternoon.Another fallen flag
Lars 'n Rob made it "in" today!

Nice bridge Tom. Has anyone tried to sell it to you Here's another.
A RailLink from Rob . . . kinda "generic" stuff for the more modern day, huh So what IS RailLink anyway
As Cap'n Tom will tell ya, with both of us from New YAWK - the only bridge that get's "sold" ovAH 'n ovAH is the Brooklyn Bridge. <grin>

Hi there again guys. I see both of you have been active again today.Lasr Raillink is a large network of shortline railroads in both Canada and the US, they deal with less than 40 mile long routes, that deal with local switching. The run they have in my neck of teh woods operates CN's old Haggersville sub that runs from Brantford down to Lake Erie at Nantikoke, where they serve the Stelco steel plant their and a couple chemical outfits and Ontario generations coal fired plant down there. That unit is a rebuilt GP7 that used to belong to the Southern Pacific .Theyu rosater lots of oddballs from GP7's,35's and 38's to FP7's and SD24's a real hodge- podge of power.
Here's the same train at Brantford showing off their newest power a 1970 built GP38 that came from the Chessie system originally.
Good Morning All.
More than a few things to look at as it has been while since I have been over here. My remarks are topical rather than sorted by contributor.
Nice shots of CNW and SOO unmodified geeps, as well as IHB switchers. Then we have an interesting beastie from Raillink as well. It's hard to think of Conrail as a Fallen Flag. Yikes!
Railroad Magazine brought back a few memories as I recall hooping orders up to folks - first generation diesels, however, not steam. Sort of reminded me of the old line from the Revolutionary war, "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon." Anyway, the back leg got a little jumpy the first couple of times but you got used to it.
Some good books as well. Passing Trains is a nice one and Middleton's book on GCT is a good introduction to the subject. Then we go to the other side of town for a Hell Gate picture.
Enlarge the picture of "Silver Chalet" and check out the sublettering - interesting.
work safe
As mentioned over at the bar, I'm barely makin' it this day . . .
Here's a little something though to help out 'round here.
Greetings to Rob - CM3 Shane 'n Lars!
Here's something from a piece that was just deposited over at the bar . . .
NSB EI 18 #2254 (GNU Free Documentation)
(Norwegian State Railways)
Evening guys. Nice to see Shane drop by and a couple good shots from the regulars as well. here's a little one from me today.
A classic shot from the archeives of the TTC rebuilding the Spadina -Adelaid street trackage,this was accomplished with only an 18 hour window of no service, and all done basically by hand to boot.
Now THAT's a fine looking trolley shot! Can "put" all kinds of thoughts into that one. <sweet> from Rob!
Sorry, but all I have today is a rerun . . . kinda under the weather.
Good Afternoon;
Double slips, wyes, switches and diamonds, oh my! I'll bet that was a bear to keep tightened
Great to see Lars 'n CM3 out 'n about the decks today! Fine bit of traction from Rob too!
Just a little something for the day . . . .
RR Magazine - 1952 - Idaho's Panhandle Pike
Evening folks.Nice to see some action happening over here today.Shane that bear of trackwork still exists along with several other grand unions and demi-grand unions on the TTC.They really do try and keep on top of their trackwork , so far even with cutbacks the TTC is on top of all their track work and bridges. A couple fine pieces from the Capt'n and first mate today as well
Here's another traction shot from the moldy oldy files.
This one is the Hamilton and Brantford Radial RR from the late 20's the shot is taken at the corner of Gage and Wentworth streets in Hamilton.

Another <keeper> from the trolleyMAN! <sweet>
Here's one from me - a rerun!
Good afternoon All.
Excellent Hamilton picture. I can feel the warm weather and; well, let's just say it was a simpler time then.
Thanks to Lars for Canadian material and to OSP for his B&M in New HAmpshire magazine cover.
Looks as if Shane has become a "regulAH" ovAH here too!
Here's one for this day . . .
Good evening gents.I missed last night after I suffered a relapse of the whatever it is that's going around.Nice to see Shane pop by. That corner ahs not changed much in Hamilton, the interurban line ran there for about another 10 years before they folded./ that particular stretch though was absorbed as par of the Hamilton city systems belt line and was one of teh last lines to be abandonned in the early 50's. Nice cover's again as usuual sir Lars , keepers to be sure heres another oldy that I've posted before. this one is a Shot of the London and Port Stanley Interurban in 1944.
Good Morning:
London and Port Stanley shot is yet another time machine - I enlarged it fo full screen size and spent some time studying it.
The book mobile has been by again, too.
