I got two Proto 2000 L&N E6-A's in the mail today from a friend in Texas. They were both converted into dummy locos but the shells won't sit on the frames properly as there are no tabs on the inside of the shells. It'll be a simple matter to make some tabs from scrap. The locos are identical, right down to their numbers, 776.

U34CH #4167 departs from the station.

Great loco pics everyone! Spankybird that Triplex is a beautiful monster! Jeffrey and GEC, terrific diesel pics!

My first contribution has no train at all! I took several shots of action at this location; Railroad Ave in West Mill.

OK, so here is a train....A KP&W interchange run with the Penn Central headed by an F and a GP9 roll through town.

If the locomotive is pushing does that count as the tail end?

I noticed this trailer in a contractors lot on post the other day. I've probably been driving past it every day for the last 4 years and never noticed it.

Today's project was to rebuild and re-motor a Proto 2000 E6-A that had been stripped and made into a dummy loco. I do believe I accomplished my goal.
