Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  Here's my photo fun for this fine weekend!  

Interstate RS-3 with a string of Menards boxcars on the Seattle & Yakima RR

More New Haven as I rotate all my engines through the layout....

The passenger train has switched from a DL109-110 to a RailKing ABA F3 in McGinnis colors.

The Freight has switched from a Premier ABA Alco freight unit to a single Alco C420.....an original run from Lionel, circa 2002-03

Nothing beats New Haven black, white and orange!

Thank you to DAVE_NYC_HUDSON_PRR_K4 and SIDEHACK.

Ray,

I watched both your videos. I like the trains, the layout, and the operation. I would certainly like to find a B&A #53. Best regards,

MELGAR

I usually post images from the 1930's-1950's areas of my layout when the PRR was still around. But today I'm posting some Conrail photos from the western end of my model railroad that looks like the former Middle division in the Conrail area.  Here are two images showing MP 182.2 (near Ryde PA and west of Mattawana). By now, Conrail had removed some of the classic PRR signal bridges and replaced them with bidirectional double headed signals. They often mounted these signals in corrugated steel caissons as seen in the image. The number of tracks was reduced from three (post 1957) to just two and CTC had been installed. The formerly ratty right of way was now meticulously maintained. The line poles are still in place, but won't be there much longer.

There is also a prototype photo of one of these double headed signals along with the adjacent instrument case.

I was railfanning quite a bit in those days, and remember being stunned at how clean Conrail kept their engines compared to the filthy Penn Central units I was used to from the mid 1970's. While Conrail may not have been loved as was the Pennsy, unlike Penn Central, it certainly was respected for how it saved the railroad.

Happy Weekend To Everyone.
