Re: Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?
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.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

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?1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 4:03 pm My mother-in-law gave me a picture to hang in the train *ah-hum* room.

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.

Re: Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?
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.
