If you don't mind I would like that. Look forward to it. I can also email the L&N Family Lines I took this past Saturday to you as well. Look forward to the pics.

Thank you Andy. I really appreciate you going to do that. I don't see much L&N stuff around here at all. It's usually only on the "Family Lines" stuff.

Thanks

I have a pic from down here in Gainesville, GA. I think that it may have been a Family Lines one, but I remember that it had been an L&N at one point. It has since been burned by vandels and I'm sure that it was scrapped. Let me know and I'll scan some pics up this weekend if you want some shots of it.

Two Saturdays ago I saw several Erie-Lackawanna hopper cars in a train in Reading, PA and a few more in another train around Lebanon, PA.

Dear louisnash,
I don't have a picture of it Though I would be happy to stop by and grab a picture for you. Right now it is sitting outside of Akron (northeast ohio) I'll E-mail as soon as I get it onto my computer. I'll also stop by the two yards near me and see what I can find for you. (I've been meaning to photograph this area for awhile)

If for some reason you should have a photo of the L&N boxcar you mentioned, I would be interested in having it emailed to me if you can.

I live in the Northern KY, Cincinnati area. If it is close to that area I would be interested to know that as well.

I just recently saw and got photo of a "Family Lines System" that still had the L&N on it.

Thanks so much,
Brian (KY)

The shortlines in GA are great!

On the local shortline engines: Chessie B&O, Chessie WM, Rio Grande, CNW, B&O(parts), RF&P, South Carolina line(forgot exact line), Bessemer and Lake Eire, Conrail. These are all in original paint. Their are a few others that have been painted over

On the local shorline cars: Southern 40' gondola BLT around 1939, Union tank car BLT around 1940 (fuel car now) and yes both are still in regular use. Also an old Conrail boxcar with brake wheel on top stored with plans to scrap.

On the CSX: Many L&N, B&O, Chessie, etc open hopper cars used for cross ties. Many more of above and NYC gondolas used in MW tie gang. Also a B&O covered hopper in original paint and still in service!

I can give pics and details on any of above if anyone needs or wants them...[;)]

In my area there seems to be a lot of fallen flag cars coming through latly. Therer is a L&N boxcar that has been siting on a siding for over a year. I've seen a couple of chessie covered hoppers rolling through town. And recenly a conrail caboose was just dropped off at the local yard that I assume is going to be used for the locals around town. Those are just some of the cars I've seen recently

I love living in Washington. I am close enough to hear both the UP and BNSF lines to hear them at the crossings. There are falling flags o plenty. There are Chessie and Conrail Auto Racks. There are also some Great Northern and Northern Pacific gondola and hopper cars in the Auburn Rail Yard just south of Seattle. In Tacoma there is a bridge by freight house square where the Milwaukee Road’s Markings on it. Great place to watch trains at the Tacoma Rail yard too.

Was in Covington KY today and saw L&N shining through where it was tried to be painted over. No photo. Couldn't get my camera in time.
