    Post "Current Shots" of Fallen Flag Freight HERE:

    A few months ago I kept spotting a CNW Dash 9(?) on the mainline in Wheaton. Saw the engine something like 3 times in a week, but haven't seen it since. I keep a look out for it whenever I'm in the area with my camera

    Looks nice! I'd like to give one a shot too, but really have no use for one on my layout

    3x4' HO Layout?

    With a lot of the members here running 30" radius, I look forward to seeing some of these comments. Myself, I'm interested in what such a small layout could look like

    On Track, with Deano

    hey Deano, I need you to identify some UP equipment I saw today, but was unable to get a picture of. There was a freight blocking my view, and never got a decent angle for a picture after the freight passed by. What I saw it looked like it was a single unit, and the rear window kinda reminded me...

    A new view - a creative challenge

    Man, I used to have a LOT of railfan pics I took from inside cars, I'll see if I still have any that got stored away somewhere before my hd crashed. EDIT: found one I took with my phone looking out the windsheild of my old work truck!

    On Track, with Deano

    I've always liked the Zephyr, especially since I rode on it (short ride at IRM) back in elementary school probably 15 years ago), but that Aerotrain is just so cool Deano, I think I have shown you that picture of 760 before, when you told me the history your family has with it. Not sure if...

    Train vs drunk driving van, guess who won-video

    No one got hurt in the accident. A bystander got the driver out of the van, then went back to see if anyone else was in the van, just as the first train was about to hit it. Shortly after, the 2nd train hit it rupturing the gas tank

    UP Katy Heritage Unit in Yuma AZ

    At least you got pics of it! The one time I saw the CNW heritage unit I didn't see it coming, never knew about the engine beforehand, and didn't have a camera on me

    "They" don't think it's art.. They think it's a crime.......

    I may add graffiti to my cars, but not because I like it (though I have seen some quite impressive work), but because it is real, something that actually does happen with the railroads

    My Future Milwaukee Road Iowa Division Update

    Steve, I didn't mean to fully enclose it, but just to add another, say 5x5 (or so) to the right end, into the middle, which would still leave a 5' walkway into the center. this would be nice to add another yard, industry, branch line, town, etc. Heck, maybe even a roundhouse to store un-used locos
