A nostalgic look back at a 611 trip from Atlanta in 1993 and the photo run-by.

Here are a couple quick grab shots taken with my iPhone during recent travels…

Two NYS&W (Susquehanna) units idling behind McDonald’s on Court Street in Binghamton, NY…

Pan Am Railways B40-8 #5963 idling in the yard at Fitchburg, MA…

I Just couldn't resist. Another short line shot - this time on the Wellsville Addison & Galeton - crossing Route 6 enroute to Ansonia to interchange with the Penn

Central. From another railfaning trip to the US - this time in late 1976. Enjoy. Ian

The last RBBX train. Parked on the Central Extension, Uniondale NY 5/12/17. This was the last stop before the circus closed down.

Here are some pics of our recent trip to Ely.
