If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Sweet I.C. catch, Ike! ::nod::👍


I had a few more Heritage units caught in Cumberland, plus the 9969 Geometry Train I forgot to post. Unit 9969 has an interesting almost 57 year history- https://heritageunits.com/locomotive/photo/61343

Very nice post, David. I remember you showing a SKOL loco some point in the past, good to see those short lines.
I really like that last pic too, and the round covered hopper. On occasion, I will spot around one from Canada in my area.

These pics were taken at Burden, Ks by moms house. I was raised there from the sixth grade on. I been staying at moms while I been recuperate from health issues. This is the old Santa Fe Moline sub. SKOL bought it a number of years ago and have been making improvements on the line. I think they're still on a 10 mph limit at the moment.
