I agree with the four posts above me.... so.... in an effort to get back on track...

Santa Fe 6354, a B23-7, rolling past the old cabinet factory on its way to the interchange with Southern Pacific. The loco is an Atlas Master Series Gold - sound equipped and I do like it!
I love it when model pictures are posted here. Great shots guys.

Playing off of Bruce's Conrail B-23-7.
Now we need a Conrail, or a B23-7, or a number 2813. Models are perfectly acceptable, in fact they are encouraged.
It might be a good idea if the posters would let people know what we need next until all the newer folks catch on. Actually this is not unlike a game of dominoes. (not Pizza )
Just remember, it has to be your photo, or one you have the right to post.
SP B23-7 at Bakersfield, Feb. 1998. Not sure why, but these locomotives are one of my favourites.

How did we get from an SP B23-7 to a Conrail GP35? :?:

If you notice, the Finger Lakes B23-7 posted before Alan's, is the same road number as Charlie's Conrail GP-35, posted after Alan's.
My guess...Charlie is still on dial-up, and it took him six minutes to up-load his picture, in which time Alan, who has DSL. picture loaded quicker, bumping Charlie's picture to post after Alan's.
OK...That was grasping I know.

I went to my Happy Place, but it was closed for renovations.
Yup!, and I'm also on dial-up, so didn't see Ed's reply until too late, so I deleted my 'splainin', which said the same thing.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
The SP unit hadn't shown up when I posted. Sorry not my fault It won't happen again. I'm on DSL too, I didn't get a warning that another post had been made.

I just assumed that, like me, Charlie, saw a opportunity to post something, and after the hit the "Reply" button, while he looked up the photo in a folder he couldn't find very easily as I always have to do, and then he had to first proof-read his very poor typing, correcting a dozen or so typos, and then proof-read it again for continuity of thought, make corrections and then post, andersley had snuck in "underneath" him ... seriously, it happens to me all the time. If I catch it because it shows up above my "in-construction" post during one of my "preview" edits, I'll make mention that I saw the "snuck in" post in small orange type at the bottom of my post.
... as Charlie has done to me just now ... damn! Snuck in under me again!!!!!
