Here are some more photos of Las Vegas, NM. NH Joe
Everyone goes to Charlie's for breakfast. Yes, the traditional diner still exists in the West.
Note the metal ceiling.
This should satisfy any railroaders appetite.
This Santa Fe engine is on display in a park.
This is old Santa Fe roundhouse. The turntable is gone. I was told that it is being used as a storage facility.

Gee I wonder if they deliver to Illinois. Their online menu looks pretty good to me. Been to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Raton, but not to Las Vegas, NM as I recall. Really interesting landscape, especially after a snowfall to provide contrast.

Southern Pacific F3 freight train.
WP, nice video of a typical S.P. freight back in the day! I have the MTH F7s, A-B-B-A units in the black widow scheme also which I think was the best.
It's Wednesday, and this is pretty western.
Great Northern Steam

Thanks Paul. I’d like to see some photos or a video of your F7 train. And I agree with you. The SP “Black Widow” paint scheme is one of the most beautiful of all!
It's SP day on my layout.
Some Western power on the ready track
Here’s a couple Frisco’s for this week. The Boxcar is a very old Atlas and the Hopper is a Weaver. Enjoy your day.
Union Pacific's Overland Limited, headed by FEF #844.
Here’s a couple different shots of my Western Pacific roster
Here’s one of my favorite Western Weaver boxcars
It's Wednesday. Here's some western railroad action.

Terrific weathering of the boxcar IMO.

I agree, gorgeous trains, scenery and video of the black widow Southern Pacific.

Also outstanding in every way. There is so much outstanding here, that I'll just say everything is outstanding of what I've seen so far on this thread. Maybe "the West is the Best," as said by Jim Morrison of The Doors.
It's Wednesday. The Chief and The Fast Mail Express are running.
For this Wednesday a Weaver RS-3 with a mixed manifest of Atlas O cars
The AT&SF is experiencing a traffic surge and needed to lease some outside motive power to help. Here a leased DM&IR Yellowstone leads an AT&SF freight westbound.
Took this pic of a Ballast Hopper one day in DeSoto Mo. I think it’s a Ballast car.
Just running my new Legacy 3751 class Northern.
Here’s my line up for this Wednesday.
Rusty
The Chief, lead by 3460 class Hudson 3465, heads west. Passing it is a string of boxcars, lead by 5001 class Texas 5009, heading east.
Lou, great sounding whistles on those engines! 
Here’s a few shots for today

How do you do your roads?
Here's some MoPac and Katy for your Western Roads thread.

I use some rubber material that they use for anti skid for freight.

I love your trucks, particularly the green tractor with the Northern Pacific logo. Where did you get it? Also, I have seen several forum members that post in this topic include a photo of the same truck. I would also like to know how you acquired that?
The above are great photos. I always enjoy shots of your layout.
How about some Great Northern, Northern Pacific and CB&Q. Photos taken on the Golden Gate Lionel Railroad Club layout that we set up at the Hiller Aviation Museum, San Carlos Ca, for their annual "Trains and Planes" show. All engines are Legacy and weathering was done by me.
The only exception is of CB&Q 4960 (Sunset 3rd Rail) on a friend's layout.

Although the locations look similar, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent!

Randy it’s a old Revell Kenworth from the Honest John missile kit.The only place I mostly see them is EBay. I added Don Mills wheels and tires to it also and thanks for the complement. I plan on doing a Great Northern some day soon
