An SP S-2 #1780 was in the weathering shop. It’s an Atlas unit with ESU sound. Belongs to forum member Marlin39 as do the 5 cars behind it. Take away all my modern cars and the Sd40 against the shop wall these units look real comfortable in the Papermill complex

Thanks TLOC. There is a side view in the Western Wednesday thread.

Caught a trio of GP40-2’s approaching the East Bennett yard switch.
Looks like this one skipped the weathering shop, …

Described by some as "With a face that even a mother would not love" heavy freight E44 electric.

Snapped recently at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg
I like it and as the matter of fact one of my favorite American electric locomotives.

Nice 1142, the only thing i don't like is that snow plow turning with the truck on the curve.

This is the display plow without the front coupler. They had to attach it to the bogie when the plow with the opening for the coupler is used. They used the same mount for both plows. It was to make sure that if the front coupler and plow was used, that the coupler swing wouldn't interfere with the plow.

Is this Piko?

No, both of my Rh 1142s are Roco.
