great photo!

Thank you very much! I was just playing around with the cell yesterday afternoon when I took that (my trains weren't running for much of the weekend due to a bad breaker in the panel that ran just the plugs in this and two other bedrooms, but it got fixed).

I think it looks better in sepia:

Neat shot.

Every notice how few layouts have scenes like this? They're relatively common in real life, though.

I wish I could model a weed-covered deadline like this, but that's one of the problems with modelling the WW2 years (scrap drives at the time wouldn't have allowed for anything like this to stay that way for very long).

The Conquerors is a 1932 American pre-Code Western film starring Richard Dix and Ann Harding, and directed by William A. Wellman. A young couple move to the American West and build a banking empire.

As Fort Allen prospers, the possibility of being bypassed by the railroad threatens its growth. Roger and Caroline succeed in convincing the railroad's president to include Fort Allen on the route, by the arrival of the first train is marred by the death of their son after an inebriated Doc Blake crashes the carriage in which they were riding at a crossing right in the train’s path. Though they mourn their loss, Roger and Caroline’s daughter grows into a beautiful young woman, who marries Warren Lennox, one of the employees in Standish's bank.

Lee were these photos taken along the route 3 truck by-pass and Mississippi near Chester IL? That's a great stretch to trainspot.

John

she was at a softball tournament in Ste Gen. I asked her where we looked it up and it was on N.main st. in Ste. Gen. John I know where that place is on the by pass and your right it’s a good place to get up close and personal with them. Where do you live? If you don’t mine me asking.

John 

you are so right! Traveled that route at lease a  couple times a month for over 20 years if you’re a rail fan you’re blessed to live in this area I work out of St. Louis live in Park Hills area (Flat River) to me and I think about all the  railroads that was in St. Louis at one time I can at least think of 11 of them and I think it’s pretty neat to go in to the rail yards where some of the old fallen flags used to be.
