It has been more than a day, so I will jump in with this on a section of my layout that I rebuilt last year. The bridge, now in storage, is at the back center of the picture

Show me another water scene that you have not posted before

It has been almost a day with no TOFC or intermodal, so I will drop back one request with another semi...

Honest officer, I thought the speed limit WAS 60!

Maybe the Amtrak locomotives are a bit incongruous here, like a blast from Back To The Future! All in fun!
