The local railfans are out today catching the action at Christopher's Landing.

Ed , nice opening for the new week, liking that 58 Chevy.

With the harvest season nearing completion, Declan Grain is keeping busy.

Ed - I envy those railfans getting too see one of your steamers in action.

Bruce - Nice looking grain hoppers. I can't tell for sure is the Albert City a pink hopper? After seeing this I may get out my grain hoppers and run them this weekend.

It was a good day for rail-fanning the Leetown Division---the next stop was Peters Corner just in time to catch T3A #4300 leaving the station.

Ya, hold on a second, putting my socks back on, Ed & Bruce's pics this week just slap knocked my socks off!  
Honestly though, Great work guys!  Ed, really liking those scenes

WWhile my offering for the week is not as spectacular  , its new, its from running Thursday. Three SD40-2's rolling into Chester...

Bruce - Thanks for posting those pink hoppers. I have an Albert City Elev hopper. I also have several of the Klemme but they are different numbers. I as going to try to run them this weekend but too many things came up. I will try for next weekend.

Deano - Nice to hearing you had a running session with a nice looking consist.

Since I did not get to do the train I wanted to this weekend I post a couple other shots. First is my newest passenger locos, a Proto 1000 PRR Erie-Built A&B units. Both units are powered. I have been after a Fairbanks and Morse locomotive for a few years now. I came across these guys at a price I could not say no to.



Second set is a Roundhouse by Athearn RTR F7A and F7B set in Jersey Central's blue and orange scheme. The A unit is powered and the B unit is a dummy. Again this is a paint scheme that I have been after for sometime. I know CNJ did not have any F7's but at $45 I could not pass this up. Besides its my railroad and if CNJ had a F7 set so be it.

Those railfans ended a long day trackside on Victoria Ave. in the north end of Leetown.
