I have, and it was incredible, like nothing I have ever seen!
And those F45s! The last in the country!

They arn't the last F45's. New York Susquehanna and Western is restoreing one for service.

Thanks again again to everyone who contributed, and I have an idea I would like to put out to all who have contributed to this forum. So please, hear me out!

I was thinking that maybe this fourum could be a place where teens like us could just come and discuss trains and railfanning, and what's going on with railroads today.

What do you all think???
Should this be a sort of teen railfan only place to just talk trains?

Or sould I shut up and keep my ideas to myself or what- please let me know.

We could start something that all railfans our age could use and enjoy, and we could keep it going for a long time

So what do ya say??????????

No, we need the old timers for information.

Hi i am Colin, and i am 15, i enjoy walking along a shortline around Warminster PA, The railroad is the New Hope and Ivyland. I also model O Gauge, as well as HO, and G scales. Trains have been my interest for a while. I also enjoy sitting along a local CSX/NS mainline near my grandparents house. I also read a lot about railroads mainly the fallen eastern flags. I also enjoy reading about cars, and sometimes working on body work. I am also an avid X Games fan, and will be attending Camp Woodward in PA next summer, which is an extreme camp for BMX, inline skating, snow boarding, and skateboarding. I am going into high school this year.

Hi, I'm 14, and I'm a fan of the NS Railway. It is my dream to be an engineer for them. I don't get to see a train to often( don't live anywhere near the tracks [:(]). My town used to have its own railway but they abandoned it. However, my school is near the tracks and today I was in Environmental Science and I heard a train horn. I stopped what I was doing and just sat there and listened(we weren't really doing anything anyway)

i'm Max. i'm 17 and i've been a train fanatic ever since i first saw one pass through a crossing. i live in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. not a very active city in terms of railroad. thankfully, a small suberb, altoona, has a railroad yard nearby. i believe the town was named after Altoona, Pennsylvania. anyway, i bike there any chance i get to watch the traisn in the yard. whether it's a freight train passing through, or GP38s #367 and #2253 moving railcars around.

i'm an active member of my high school's model railroad club and i see myself being a train fanatic for the rest of my life.

though i wish i could tell the difference between an SD90 and a Dash 9.....

Hey im chris. Im 17 and live in massachusetts. My favorite railroads are CSX, NS and Guilford and love just about all EMD locomotives expecially the GP60 and SD60I. I also started my own railroad Chelmsford Rail System (CRSX). ive been interested in trains all my life and probably always will. I had to take down my layout in 2002 because i ran out of money but i hope to create a massive one later in life.

Hey Lord Atmo,

Your a fan of the WC huh? Welcome to the WC club ( well, its me and you and some other person). Long live WC !

Alec

[Lord Atmo]

WC is Wisconsin Central, right? well, i liked their locomotive colors. a lot nicer than the ugly Union Pacific yellow machines. ugh. let's face it, the UP is too yellow! i WI***he GP-38's at the yard i visit weren't UP. they used to be C&NW. but were later repainted after the merger. oh well. i miss C&NW. though i see a LOT of WC locomotives still. despite them being part of CN and all now

[wctransfer]

Ya , BOO CN! So you say you want help identifiying loco's? If you need help we can comunicate with emails.
