Who’s sittin? I’m just trying to find the diner.
I don’t wait in line at the diner. Go in the rear door and sit at the counter. Plan is to run a Halloween train on the 31st.
Today was supposed to be my final operations day of the year, but everyone was off doing something else. so i needed to get the Sheep down from high pasture, so a stock train was run.
Southbound leaving the snow shed at lizard head it is getting dark:
next thing i knew big raindrops were coming down.
And then i ran the cleanup train from Rico. (sun came back out after a rush to get the stock train under cover)
24 cars two loco’s and a caboose!

I’m sorry today didn’t work out, Al. But, its cool to see such a long train on the RGSNH!
Hi guys,
This morning I ran my first REAL train (i.e., not a work train) on my new railroad:
Here’s one facing the other way:
Cheers,

Absolutely beautiful. I love the sun on the mountain peaks in the first shot.
You never tell us who paints your back drops!
Mother Nature is very talented
Stunning shots, Matt. Should start a “Is this real, or a model?” series in Trains magazine.

Marty had some that were questionable
Amazing shots, as always, Matt. I’m going to show these to my wife and see if she thinks they’re prototype photos.
Here’s my new Aster LNER B1, running at Pennsylvania Live Steamers G1 track last Saturday.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t there. We drove up on Friday to test and collect the B1, but the loco was in a car with a flat tire. They never made it to PLS, and we left about 4pm. Fortunately my friend (a) loaned his Greasley coaches for the test on Sunday and (b) he brought it back to the Baltimore area and I collected it today.
I did take my teak coaches so I got a chance to put them all on the track and couple them together!

That trackage is “screaming” an F40 (for historic purpose) with Superliners.

Not! I was onsite in Glenwood Springs on the day Amtrak first rolled into town on Grande rails in 1983:
I considered it a dark day then and still consider it a dark day.
You got something against Amtrak or just passenger trains?
The Rio Grande Zephyr was splendid, what replaced it…was not.
