don’t get me wrong I like the new Chargers that Metro North and Amtrak are using, but they just don’t have the same diesel rumble and cool look to them.

Some of them have been scaled down which sucks but oh well. Enjoy!!

Some photos visiting the Golden Spike Tower in North Platte, NE.

Visited Nebraska over the weekend and saw some neat trains. Thought I’d share

#9 Shay from West Side Lumber Co. with Pickering Lumber Co. marking instead for some odd reason. Maria (their oldest engine #6) wasn't running sadly when I recorded this.

Use to do tankard maintenance, they come in about every 10 years I believe for repairs

If yall have any curiosity/questions cause I know I did when I started working here, on what breaks on these things or what being inside one of those tanks are like💔

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this

Or as we here in Bosnia call her "Kennedy* 😊

On the morning of Monday September 7, 1885 Clint Eastwood, a stranger who first appeared in Hill Valley days earlier, defeated notorious outlaw Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen in a duel in front of the Palace Saloon. Eastwood was then seen leaving town with local blacksmith Emmett Brown. Schoolteacher Clara Clayton, who had just moved to the town, was also spotted leaving Hill Valley soon after.

Eastwood and Brown were next seen robbing the Central Pacific Railroad westbound train, which was led by locomotive 131. Unlike typical train robberies of the time, where passengers were stripped of valuables or the baggage/cargo cars were raided, Eastwood and Brown stole the locomotive itself for unknown reasons.

Locomotive 131 was switched onto a track leading to Shonash Ravine, where a bridge was being constructed. Eastwood and Brown proceeded in the locomotive and Clayton was witnessed chasing them on horseback. Because the next events occurred in an isolated area away from Hill Valley, the exact actions of Eastwood, Brown, and Clayton were unknown. The burnt remnants of locomotive 131 were later discovered in Shonash Ravine, having gone over the unfinished bridge.

Eastwood is assumed to have plummeted into the ravine with locomotive 131, perishing in its fiery crash. As a memorial to his death and heroic defeat over Tannen, the ravine was renamed Eastwood Ravine.

Also caught my first H1 standard cab leader and heritage unit leader

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!
