โ“ Question I was watching this steam tractor at a tractor pull, and got to thinking - why wasn't the American West set ablaze, like it easily is now, by the embers of coal/wood -fired steam locomotives?

I live in a town where the mainline of the Reading Railroad once ran through. The tracks that exist are now NS. The ones that donโ€™t exist are now paved trails for bikers, runners, walkers. The Chester Valley line ran directly behind our house, which is now a grown in train bed.

One of the big notable landmarks near me is Abrams Yard. I took an interest in it after moving in and hearing the NS engines blaring their horns before departing. Since then, we have visited the Reading Heritage Museum and the Steamtown Museum. Both absolutely incredible experiences. I wanted to share pics and gain some insight if anyone wants to add any info on what Iโ€™m sharing!

donโ€™t get me wrong I like the new Chargers that Metro North and Amtrak are using, but they just donโ€™t have the same diesel rumble and cool look to them.

โ“ Question Colour of working Light for the UP844

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hey guys I am trying to model the UP844 "Living Legend" and I looked through some videos and pictures, but couldn't find an answer to what colour these working Lights are supost to look like (side ones, under cab and over valve gear and wheels), a more orange coule, o cold white maybe (the same as the front lights?).

As well as the back lights for the Tender. Obviously the top red light is always on, when it moves foward, the middle one should be when it's in return, but what about the other lights?

I appreciate your input!

PS.: the photos are not mine!

In this part, I delved into the history of the High Orchard Branch Line, which ran from Gloucester Railway Station to Gloucester Docks during the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. The purpose of this was primarily to serve the warehouses, which manufactured goods at the time. Although this branch line no longer exists, you can still see remnants of it littered around the city today.
