From the same layout, a farmers field in the background of a grain elevator being serviced by a GATX MP15. I think the same field in kevins picture, the bridge is behind the elevator. This layout has definitely gotten grayer since the first time I saw it when I was 8. Still a jaw dropping layout. In the background of the layout, New York Central 999, the first train to reach 100mph.
Sorry for the poor picture quality, I screen shotted this off a video in my snapchat album, heres an arerial of the field, both the bridge and grain elevator are visable. This layout truly needs to be seen to belive. This isnt even half of the layout!
