Looks like I'm going to have to dig through the seconds pile to find something for this contest...

Grab shot from the Jeep in Galesburg, Illinois back on July 15, 2006. I never thought I'd actually show anybody this photo though!

That must have been a train that was a mile or longer

I was going to post a pic of my 4 CNW Dash 9 units headed by my UP Dash 9 but I cant find the dang camera.

So here is a pick I have from a Miced Goods Freight Train.

Thanks

The cones are made by Scale Scenics but they are really hard to find now, I bought a TON of them from my LHS but they don't have anymore now cause I cleaned them out of there supply and they don't know when they will get more:cry: :cry:

IDK what they used in the 1950's, same thing I imagine?

 

[EngineerKyle]

IDK?

I don't think blaze orange was a color in 1950?

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

They usually used sawhorses with either white/black or yellow/black zebra striping. I don't recall Baltimore County using cones before the late 60s.

Didn't they also use little torchs , I think they called them smudge pots..?? they were small round torchs, they kinda remind ya of those round bombs you would see in cartoons

I think the torch was called a "flambeau."
