Front-views seem popular, let's continue, shall we?

I think I posted this in a previous month. A coal train approaching the 
Bedford Falls bridge (Not the one George Bailey jumped off of).

Please show me something else with hinges.

The hinged MU recepticle covers on NYC Es and Fs were notorious for not being properly latched and would fly open at speed and stay that way:

Keep it going with TOFC, containers, or loose trailers, please.

Here's an early attempt at PRR's effort to gain some LCL "intermodal" traffic.

Keeping with TOFC, containers, trailers please.

Here is an interesting and unique model:

-Photograph by Kevin Parson

This is an N scale Alas TOFC car. This is the only piece of STRATTON AND GILLETTE equipment in my collection that I did not paint myself.

This piece of equipment must have been painted by someone I traded decals with back in the 80s or 90s. It came up on eBay, and I bought it. It is interesting to have someone else's version of my railroad in my collection.

Keep it going with TOFC, containers, or loose trailers, please.

Will someone please post a W?

The first thing I thought of was "The Big W".

But since this is supposed to be model railroad related, I'll go with this one I posted earlier when we were doing silver. The West End Diner.

NeXt.
