My mother-in-law gave me a picture to hang in the train *ah-hum* room. Should fit nicely above my Landmark Yards sign and it takes up practically the whole back seat of my wife's Equinox.

This picture was collected by my late father-in-law who worked for B&O/CSX and was an avid train enthusiast. I met my wife when we were 3 years old because our fathers worked together at the railroad in Cumberland and were good friends.

What a great picture and gesture on her part. That is really nice, John. Please post an updated pic after you have chosen a spot for it.......or maybe you would want to trade it for 3 or 4 old knives? :lol:

redrider, what a great asset that finely rendered train depiction is. It will set off your train room in a spectacular fashion. Your mother-in-law is a peach!

I finally hung the picture today, and sorted out some wiring issues I've been having since my layout expansion.

No, John, It appeared that it hadn't been used for years. It would probably be a great favor to the local farmers if it were to be removed, but I am glad it was still there.

Thank you, Floyd, John, and Garry.

Nice work and picture John.
I've never seen a SKOL engine.
Cool Ike , what part of the country?

We're the engine overhaul center for the Chessie System. The engines were lined up for about 1/4 mile to the right ,out of the picture.

Cool pictures, Lyle. The old East Bound Repair Tracks in Cumberland are currently holding at least 100 diesels taken out of service.
