Great photos and videos everyone!! My fun photos for this weekend focus on the venerable Pennsy MU cars. This pair of cars is by K line and have been on my roster since the mid 2000s. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Be safe = Be well!
Departing the Patsburg Commuter Station.
Two modes of rail transportation receiving their power from overhead wire. ( In this case the overhead wire is imaginary ;-) )
Fresh out of the paint shop, the owl eyes are somewhat haunting.
Circa 1950: Military personnel were regulars at rail stations everywhere. Looks like this car is almost full of commuters.
Now arriving on track 2 train Commuter Train 116 westbound.
During the early morning commuter rush, train 221 east bound trundles through Butler junction.
Now arriving on track two commuter train 221 eastbound! Having begun it's eastward journey this morning at O dark 30, commuter train 221 arrives in Patsburg where the sun is now up and shining brightly. This is the final run for Conductor Earl Scruggs who will retire today after working on the railroad for 47 years. Earl tells me that he plans to start building a large model train layout because he loves trains in all sizes .... of course "0" is now his gauge of choice. Btw - Earl has always been a man of good choice.
