Relics in service. This was SAL's only E9A, inherited by SCL and acquired by the nationalized passenger service corporation. Will we ever revere the P42 as much? I have my doubts. Photo by Gar... (more)

Back when the station was in its original spot a somewhat late "Silver Star" is awaiting departure.

When was the last one? The last time a crew scrambled to assemble their gear, the cook shopped for provisions and the big hook was prepared to move out. Before Hulcher and Corman overcame quaint... (more)

Looking for a good college, rural setting, small class size with 6 or so trains each way per day? Check this out. Oh, and by the way, bring $$. WB train, probably #112, the "wrong way"... (more)
