P51, Lee, great pictures of a passenger train, concrete ties and seamless rails, smooth rolling and I’m sure it would be fun riding. You live in a great part of the country if your able to see the trains you show here on the forum. Thank you. Trumptrain, the lighting is right, the B&O AB is beautiful and rolling through some really nice scenery, downtown and around, Wow. Lee Drennen, good old St. Louis, a city like no other, I grew up in Flora, Illinois, so, I can appreciate your pictures, keep on trucking. Was that a UP Genset switcher you posted awhile back? Great pictures. Happy Railroading Everyone A488F8F3-AA4B-451D-953D-E0B6FCF6BB93093D419D-9DAF-4EFE-A892-A098577ABBEC162A7D1C-92E2-4FC0-B700-EEA968B5E3BA

Larry. Great pics also and thanks been hauling containers out of St. Louis now for 24yrs. I used to haul bicycles from overseas to Olney Illinois I went through Flora Illinois many times. My dad was a trucker also back in the 1950-60s and he used to stop and eat at the Flora Truckstop always thought it was neat I drove hwy 50 the same road dad drove 50 years earlier.

For today:  Very early this morning, as the sun came up,  farmer Puffy Hastings brings his truck load of produce to the produce shipping terminal.  His load of vegetables will be loaded  onto a railcar and whisked off to a supermarket distributor several hundred miles  away.  From the looks of the load it appears that Puffy has got a lot bagging to do before the railroad will accept his produce.    I hope he brought plenty of burlap bags along ..
