This is a video of a QA&P coal load somewhere out west, being pulled by 5 Frisco SD40-2's up the 1.5% ruling grade. The Frisco only rostered 5 SD40-2's. The first scenes show the train leaving the yard at 10~ mph then picking up a little speed later. I tried pulling the hill with 4 units, but stalled.
Here’s today’s Western Wednesday’s. This is from the O scale layout it’s a White wc22 with a Lionel Piggyback pup. Enjoy your day
Been Nothin' Since Frisco
This car is just a little bit before my era (late 80s) but I couldn't resist adding it to the fleet:
That's a fine looking car Ryan. Is it Intermountain?
Been Nothin' Since Frisco
That's right, Tom. Their outlet gates are actually the right kind for this car so I left them alone. I did have some extra parts from Tangent 4750 kits so I used the brake pipe part to add to this car.
A trio of maroon Westerns. D1016 Western Gladiator, D1027 Western Lancer and D1057 Western Chieftain.

A day late, but a pair of covered hoppers passing through Vernon.
A pair of boxcars later in the same train.
Still the same train, same RR's.
Nice work there Willie.
Same here a day late for me too.
Here is a Frisco train getting ready to depart the yard.
Out on the main.

Reviving this thread too. First quick western pictures I could find-- southbound UP freight departs Arden Yard in Las Vegas, April 2021. I stood on that overpass for over an hour waiting for something to go by. And when a train finally showed up, the clouds rolled in, unfortunately leaving it in shadow. I chased it all the way down to Jean, NV, where it switched a local industry, but never got any decent pictures.
Here’s today’s Western Wednesday’s.This is a Athearn Blue Box my Brother bought for me at a Antique store many years ago where he lives in Kansas City. I’m very fond of this car.

Very nice pics thanks for sharing
Well I haven’t posted here in awhile so here’s mine off the O Scale layout. This was a old All Nations Reefer I restored many years ago.
Very nice pics thanks for sharing
Thank you
I caught the DRGW 5411 sitting on the east lead in Grand Junction CO in 1996.
Here it is at La Grange IL, a guy at Burnham shops working for EMD used to give images to guys that were rail fans too. An EMD photo. A spankin new DRGW 5411, prolly still had the brass reverser in it.
Love the pictures of the wye. Glenn
