Lutz and Ed, great looking shots.   Lutz that is some really nice rock work.

It's rare to see a  covered hopper from the SP here in South Jersey, but this one was bringing up the rear of WPMA-40.

Lutz and Ed - great Canadian shots to start us off

Bruce - that is one interesting covered hopper

Deano - I really love those Wisconsin Central units and their paint scheme

Ed - that ship is awesome.

I finally got a chance to run some trains and do a run by. The locomotive lash up is inspired by some photos I recently saw on Facebook in the Anthracite Railroads Historical Society group. This was the longest train I have run to date on the new layout so be warned there are a lot of photos. It was 23 cars long and I will say the locos could have easily handled more.

Had to be careful tonight as we had an inspector present watching the run. He was from the FRA (Feline Railroad Administration). Luckily no rules infractions were noted.

Really great pictures this week. You are all a tough act to follow. Here are some C-line locomotives running light heading down the hill.      Charlie
