Short ride from Jefferson, OH north to Carson yard below Ashtabula and back to Jefferson. Nice and inexpensive way to introduce the "young'uns" to big trains. Runs weekends spring through fall with special trips like Halloween and Santa Express. Working railroad, hauls freight during the week. Loco is ex-Fairport, Painesville and Erie.

Hello went to Columbus Ohio for work this past weekend and seen this so I stopped and got some pics.
This train is at I-71 and RT 97 I think its the Mohican state park exit. There is a diner at the back of the train. But it was not open when I was there. Have a nice day Frank

This is the lead engine at the Scenic Railway in Blue Ridge, Ga. Here they are pulling out from the station hauling an excursion train.
This is the engine that runs at the back (it leads the way back home).

I will open this post up with the Alco crazy Green Bay (WI) area...
Old GBW Alco switcher, now serviving National Railroad Museum train tour, along with a new GBW Alco addition (don't know when they got it), and a sneak peak at an Alco switcher hiding in what I call the "back lot", but really the museum calls it the 'maintainance area', and finally an old Alco switcher servicing the Pulliam power plant.
The reason I am now into big steam, DMIR 2-10-2 (I forget the road number)
Is this where the phrase "In the dog hosue" came from?
My first nite shots
A couple of neat detail shots of an Alco Century 430 loco (GBW #315)
And in closing, the (sand?) dome from a C&O Berskshire.

Nice pic Garry!! You should model that station!
Thanks, Michael. I might have to model L&N to do the station. It would be quite a challenge. Like your Denver photo.
