LeapinLarry,
Seeing your post earlier today made me decide to take a few pix this evening when I got off the train.
These CSX or SFRTA trucks are usually parked in the Tri-Rail parking garage at my Tri-Rail station (Pompano Beach). One of them has a Washington State license plate up front. Need to check one day what the rear plate (the official location used in Florida) is.
happy "F E F" everyone !!
have a great weekend !!
Second in line today!
If the moderators are okay, I'm going to use some stills from my YouTube Channel videos on a trip to New York back in February 2017.

It was a cold, blustery morning at the Woodside/61st Street station in Queens with a nice icy feel. According to Weather Underground, the temperature that day at nearby LaGuardia Airport was 45 degrees at the time I was filming there (basically 8:00a - 10:00a). With 14 mph winds the wind chill was around 38 up there on the elevated platforms, and I had fun.
Two LIRR M7's heading east to Long Island.
R62A Number 7 Train heading to Manhattan
R188 Number 7 Train heading to Flushing
The ”Rear” front of this LIRR M7 heading to Manhattan
And another “Rear” front view of an LIRR M7 heading east when I visited my old teenage stomping grounds at Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn a couple days before. If I had the room (don't we all wish) I would replicate this long elevated straightaway in O complete with buildings and under track streetscape scenery like others have done in layouts. Would need at least 12-14 feet of straight track though. The stuff produced by Bridgeboss would be perfect for this.
Happy Front End Friday everyone!
Happy FEF!
Since you guy's are all picking on the humble BL-2, I need to put both of my BL-2's side by side and take a shot of the rear ends......
NJT EMD GP40PH-2 #4107, ex- CNJ #3680 at Elizabeth port shops- Oct.86'.
This engine was built in Oct. 1968 and is still on NJT roster.
MY PHOTO
Happy F E F, good people!
A familiar face was in Johnstown, Pa that day.
I look about 12 in that pic so 1962, about to board the Chicago El.
I just now took this pic of another familiar face.
Steam help for Growler-powered Pennsy Varnish!
From my height (walking on right) I look about 5 which means Dad took this pic in 1955 which was pretty late to see steam on the PRR Mainline.
On Edit: That seems far-fetched. That must be my Brother which would make it about 1948 which is much more reasonable, especially since my only memory of revenue steam was a B&O passenger train.
OK here is my "front end view" for this Friday. NYC F-3 readies for her run to the City...pretty much stopping traffic in "small town" right at the busiest time of day !!
