Norfolk Southern has done it again, two locomotives were painted into a special livery and are now the power for the OCS train. Locomotives #1230 ( Birmingham ) & #1231 ( Atlanta ) are SD70IAC locomotives. They were seen yesterday on their first run going west on the Pittsburgh Division to head south to Alabama. If anyone got photo's of these engines please share them. Sadly I missed out on getting out to see them.

Here is a video found on facebook

NEWS: Union Pacific announced via Train Magazine that they plan to run their 'Big Boy's Steam Engine from coast-to-coast to celebrate America's 250th Birthday. The plan will be worked out with Norfolk Southern, the company that Union Pacific seems to absorb over the next few years, meaning that steam power could return to the Horseshoe Curve and Altoona as soon as next year.

I got this vintage HO structure and I'm trying to figure out who made it:

   

   

It's plastic with an opening door. I've already figured out it's not the Revell/Heljan crew shanty. 

Anyone know?

found this in the junk box an old Bachmann and after better trucks and couplers a good wash added window glass a new stove pipe and a touch of red on the marker made a good-looking cab.
