Train after train running the mains....when will it ever stop! Hopefully never as we seem to be having
too much fun with our clothes on! Mike Baker was running his BN units on Tuesday.
Jack Pappas had his 3 BNSF beauties pulling a long freight.
Jim Bowden showed off his 2 GN Alco FAs that are copies of actual units that ran out of Hillyard until
they sold them to stepchild SP&S who loved the Alcos.
Will and Jerry (me) worked the mountain to create flat spots for the power towers that will soon allow
Bakersville to bring them into the 20th Century. Candle sales will suffer with the arrival of electricity.
Rod H. had this car on his train and told me that this was a Gorre & Diphetid car from the John Allan
collection. He was the premier modeler of the 1950s and 1960s. As Dolly Pardon said on the Johnny Carson
show it costs a lot of money to look this trashy.
Plenty of action on both the Red Main line and the Blue Main line as this Chicago & Northwestern
train has to deal with tunnels and grades which they had very little to deal with in the midwest.
Rod loves to catch me taking a nap or some compromising photo so here's one for him. Notice the
image on his phone is his hand! Didn't know that when I shot it but works for me to show you.
