Happy 4th of July! This is a K-Line 13 Colonies train running on the G&O. It is about 15 years old. The cars in the train are arranged in the order that each colony ratified the Constitution. This makes a pleasing alternating blue and red roof top train. Each car has the signature of the state delegates who signed the Constitution on the car door plus other information about the state such as the state's bird. This is one of my favorite trains.

The engine is a K-Line Spirit of 76 RS-2 with TMCC.
The cars below are arranged in the order that the colonies ratified the Constitution. Reading backwards from Right to Left they are:
1. DE, 2. PA, 3. NJ,
4. GA, 5. CT, 6. MA,
7. MD, 8. SC, 9. NH,
10. SC, 11. NY, 12. NC,
13. RI. The caboose is a UP 1943 celebrating the B-17 that the UP employees raised the money to build during WWII.
These photos were taken July 4, 2019. The G&O did not operate its annual 4th of July celebration this year because of the pandemic.
