a picture a day....

I took these this afternoon at Tenino, WA, and these aren't all the trains I saw during those 2-or-so-hours!

Patrick, I have to agree with Don, Great scene and what a wonderful back drop area with the mountains! It looks so real!

Larry, n9ice photos, they have one of those bridges in Seattle for Auto's not trains. But its still cool how they pivot in the center!

Paul, I am glad you were able to get a crew together to get the 5 year mothballed engines out and do what they can to get them ready for the big job ahead of them, I am thinking that when there done getting the ABBA F3's ready for the Super Chief you should give them a little paid vacation for going above and beyond normal work! LOL Looks Outstanding!

Lee, wonderful shots! Its nice to see BNSF and UP sharing the same rail!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

For today: " Construction of a new addition to the barrel warehouse."

Thank you Mike g., this bridge was totally repaired and repainted a couple of years ago, and it lights up on the weekends in different colors. Today, I had another reason to go down by the riverside and saw this big steamboat. “American Duchess”, who knows where from. Again, the bridge was in the swivel position. Made in 1939. Happy Railroading Everyone.

What goes on under the bridge'...👀

For today: " A Pano shot showing JAHN'S with a P 51 Mustang fighter aircraft on the roof ( it draws . customers to JAHN'S being the owner was WW2 vet ) Lake Christopher and Mt. Randolph."

Ted, great scene! A hot babe can make everything look great!

Patrick, outstanding! Where I grew up there was a hotel that had a Cessna airplane on the roof! I don't know why it was 3-4 miles from the airport. But if you could get to the roof it was a cool photo to be in! LOL

Ted, the value of that pick-up is soaring! Great scene

"Crew change on the Cheshire".  Took this pic years ago on my friend's O Scale B&M Cheshire Branch RR, then played around with a black/white filter.

Ted that scene made me laugh.

Patrick, I never noticed the P-51atop Jahn's before.  I guess whenever I saw the building I would start thinking about the ice cream.  We had a Jahn's only a short bus-ride or long walk away.

An M1b exits the tunnel.

Yes, that reminds me of a Cessna on the roof of an ice cream stand on top of the hill before the long descent to Tionesta, Pennsylvania on the Allegheny River.

Took these yesterday afternoon

For today: " There's a light in the tunnel."
