  Patched and Restencilled Freight Cars
Posted by: bdw9535 - 11-14-2025, 10:35 AM - Forum: Shutterbug area - Replies (65)

Post pictures of patched and restencilled freight cars that you have taken.  If possible, provide the name of the prior owner of the car.

I'll start this off with IATR 6403, an Iowa Traction RR box car previously owned by the McCloud River RR. Pennsauken, NJ, 9/15/09.

  New OCS Power
Posted by: LiveSteamer - 11-10-2025, 12:35 PM - Forum: US Rails - Replies (4)

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

  Big Boy traveling off line ?
Posted by: Charlie B - 11-01-2025, 10:23 AM - Forum: Upper Berth - Replies (2)

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.
