Model Train Journal

Happy Friday!

Been traveling the last few weeks, but I'm home now.

Coal is still serious business in Pennsylvania, as evident by a seemingly endless string of coal hoppers wrapping around Horseshoe Curve in Altoona, PA


NJ Transit ALP-45DP 4505 leads a NY bound local train over Parker's Creek in Little Silver, NJ


UP AC45CCTE 7720 leads eastbound 236 through Shawsville, VA in early morning light.


NS Dash-9 9543 leads westbound 23M under the 227 intermediates in Fostoria, PA. With the signal replacement now just a few miles away, this will probably turn out to be my last visit to these classics


NS SD70ACe 1090 is seen leading 159 through Lexington, NC on the Danville District


Southern GP30 2601 idles the night away at NCTM in Spencer, NC.


Endangered SD70M 2644 leads High & Wide move 052 eastbound past HUNT tower in Huntingdon, PA


A pair of BNSF SD70 variants lend a splash of color to an otherwise dreary day as they lead eastbound 732 through Mableton, GA.

Very dramatic angle on NS Dash-9 9543. Really evokes the poser of these monster engines.

Nice shots Christopher...that Southern unit is sharp.

Blitzed York this AM, the schedule was tight. Picked up this Flyer station:



Passed on the station and a couple of other items early, went back to look for them and only the station remained...dang it! I saw a lot of guys hauling standard gauge out of the halls, which surprised me.

Got this car at York!

Hey, that’s pretty neat. Nice paint!

Horshoe curve is always impressive.
