Can't get more eastern seaboard than Maine!

Lets move to the Great Lakes!!

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Chicago is on the shore of Lake Michigan. Here is a CNW loco with the Operation Lifesaver logos.

Please show me more from the Great Lakes or something with Operation Livesaver on it.

The Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha would certainly count as from the Great Lakes.

We had these Ford Cab-overs on some of our equipment at the airport. I hated driving them, they were awful.

 

Show me another cab-over, please.

Not exactly a cafe, more a full restaurant, and may or may not have good food, but my wife loves them so much we eat there a lot:

I didn't realize this when we were doing it, but whenever I went on a road trip with one of the girls we would stop for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. They all have good memories of those trips and the breakfasts.

When we left concerts and headed home we would always stop at either Waffle House, or if there were a lot of us, McDonalds for $100.00 worth of Double Cheeseburgers.

The girls all say that Cracker Barrel, Waffle House, and McD's Double Cheeseburgers always bring back good memories like this day.

I made this truck inspired by the Jim Croce song Speedball Tucker, "Got a broke down rig..." A 1935 Mack and a Walthers trailer with home made decals and a lot of weathering

More old trucks, please

This propane tanker was running a little hot, so it was dropped off on this siding and is waiting for repair.

Please show me another tank car.
