Two more new ones, Wabash

and Monongahela

The Virginian is kinda bright…
The Monongahela and Wabash while not ugly are kinda boring. Still, all of them are very cool and unique!

Steve I was also thinking “Lionel” when I saw this one 
Would be neat if they would sand and paint the damn wheels, I don’t know why it bothers me, but none of those wheels look good with such bright paint jobs above them
Mark,
Harder to detect wheel cracks when painted over?
A few miles of dust, dirt and soot should help reduce the shine of the paint.
With time and moisture the wheels should become evenly (uniformly?) rusted.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
I think it is a FRA regulation that wheels and couplers not be painted so that anomalies can easily be detected.
time for loco hub caps i guess
Now i’m dying laughing to myself thinking about spinners on the wheels and hydraulic shocks, and colored light effect underneath the loco and fuzzy dice in the windows
oh and speakers in extra battery style boxes the are playing “Low Rider” the Cheech and Chong version hahahahaha
Last but not least.

Nice. The tower in the picture “HUNT” is Huntingdon, PA. Not far from EBT country. Last I knew it was being operate as a museum and was open for tours. We visited 6 or 7 years ago. It’s a great place to watch trains from.

It appears to be leading the NS Business consist…I also read recently that Alto in Altoona (one of the last functional towers) will soon be defunct…
ALTO is closed. I think it was last week, the interlocking as been reconfigured and control moved to Pittsburgh. The tower and interlocking machine will be preserved, except someone already broke in and stole some handles and other items. The tower is going to be moved. Might be going to the PA Museum in Strassburg, but there are conflicting reports.
Update on ALTO from Altoona Works on Facebook…
A little news to report on ALTO tower: According to Norfolk Southern Resident Vice President of Government Relations Rudy Husband, “NS is pursuing the option to secure Alto in place
and work with a conservancy to preserve and restore it.”
Looks like I will be in Spencer July 4th for the “Family Portrait”.

Now thats a sweet picture…
WOW!!! and WOW…WOW… Boy I wish I had been the lucky photog to get to shoot that set-up.
Now guys… A while back I asked about the cost of one of those beasts… General agreement was $1.2M each.
That my friends represents $25,200,000.oo investment to make one hell of a great picture…
Thank you! Norfolk Southern Co.
I really hope UP, BNSF and CN is paying attention to the milage in the press and in the train world this is generating,
