Happy Friday

I'm in an NS mood today












A time honored railroad tradition continues on the Strasburg Railroad


Former N&W SD40-2 1643 heads out of Rock Hill, SC on the R Line w/ local P83


CSX GE ES44DC 5273 is on the point of NS 201 as it crosses the New River in Radford, VA on the Pulaski District.


The NS OCS rolls down the R Line in Fort Mill, SC as it heads to Augusta for the Masters


Union Pacific GE AC44CW 6588 leads eastbound intermodal 234 through Wabun, VA on the ex N&W main line as a light dusting of snow covers the ground.


Norfolk Southern GE Dash-9 9706 leads 65K past the old Fleetwood auto-body plant in Fleetwood, PA on the Reading Line

Turn of the century E.R. Thomas racer

We seem to be at a place in time where it is getting necessary to specify the century when we talk about " last" or "turn of".
Most of us are old enough that we still think 19th to 20th when turn of the century is mentioned or 19th for last.
We sort of overlook the change from 20th t0 21st century and the last century is the 20th.
I need to think about it especially when reading anything published recently.
