All the BNSF action is either south or north of Mulvane, Ks. just south of Wichita. The Amtrak and UP engines are in St. Louis in the yard near Busch Stadium. I was actually riding the Metra at the time when I grabbed the shots. Click the pic below to see all the shots from the trip

You're right, however, It's actually on a rolling table I built, so I can get to all sides of layout. It is in my garage on concrete so moving is not hard. Thanks

Thanks, Yeah, I thought of that... Not sure what I am going to do with that part of the road. It is going to be back to back with a wall in the corner. Roughly 4x10 and 4x8... It is actually a 4x6 against a 4x8. N scale.

I planned on starting a new layout. Had begun one before, but I didn't care for it, so I am going to start over. I don't have any good layout programs, so I did this woith basic MS paint.. Not great, but you get the idea. The thin black is the track and sidings. The dark green is hills and the...

Ballast around here on our mainline headed east out of INdianapolis is a dark grey to almost black with some light grey mixed in. ON the local spurs near my work it is all light grey... I think it depends on what they have in the area at the time... You ballasting looks REALLY good!

COMBAT Very cool. Thanks for sharing

Yeah. I have a Con-cor Schneider National(who I started driving for) and Roadway tractor and trailer, and then I have 5 Atlas trailers in SWIFT, EXTRA, and BNSF. I saw at our LHS that they have Athearn Roadway Mack tractors with 36' Pup trailers that look pretty cool. They also have Deluxe...

I was headed to Pendleton, IN. to run an errand for my wife and I was running behind when I got stuck at LONG traffic light.. All of a sudden crossing arms lit up and came down. I saw coming from the west a BNSF train.. Grabbed the 35mm as soon as I could and only had 24-70mm lens on it. I was...

From top of Arch in St. Louis

What exactly is this?? It was sitting at the end of a siding on the Zionesville Industrial spur. It looks like a glorified weed-eater? Is that all it is? Seems elaborate for that...... Is it just used to clear brush and limbs?

OUCH!!!:eek::eek: I drive semi.. I would hate to make that call!!!! :oops: I'll bet that was a rough ride too!

Developed 35mm and here are little better pics of switcher. Now you can definitly see the person in the cab! ;D

I was getting some dinner while at work and I finally grabbed a shot I have been looking for!!!! There is a Conrail caboose that CSX uses to switch some boxcars up by my work and I only see it when I am in my work truck and can’t get a pic. Otherwise I never see the train with the caboose. When...
