Garry congratulations on the photo in the mag this month, I figure that has to be your bridge and Red-Birds!  Great shot, well deserved.

There are not many places flatter than Illinois, especially the bit we are in, so what better than the flat expanse of a mine.

 

Show me something from a fallen flag that merged into the UP.  Personal preference would be CNW, but will accept anything.

Well, it looks like my request for the original Norfolk Southern has expired. 

How about showing me something from any one of the "fallen flags" that make up the current-day Norfolk Southern.  Feel free to go back as far as you wish.  Smile, Wink & Grin

No takers on the modern passenger?   I figured we would see some Amtrak.

 

 

So it is back to Ray's weeds, lets see some really nasty looking weeds.

It is about 45 years old.  I am not sure it was ever fully forgotten, but it did spend best part of a quarter century in my parents attic.  Can anyone guess why I stick with code 100 rail? Surprise

Show me something you just purchased.
