It's the tail-end on a long, empty hopper train with another pair of engines pulling up front. The hoppers are being delivered to the staging yard, and the engines will pull out another train of loaded cars, and head back Edmonton way.

Here is my latest acquisition:

A Ryobi electric self-propelled machine.
Oh wait, it's supposed to be trains! A ScaleTrains Dash9-44CW.

Or how about an Athearn RTR SD40-2

Tom. Nice pics. You did a out standing job on that Engine. I actually got to sit in one of these one day at the CSX in Fairmount City Illinois while I was waiting for Billing on my Container load it was a blast in that cab. What I remember the most was the seats had CSX embossed in the back of them.

Nice pic Rico. I see these every day at NS in St. Louis. I’ll be looking for it if I see that Road Number and try to get you a pic of it.

I have no idea what day it is, but I always liked this "front end" shot.

A Proto shell on Athearn drive kitbash. I tried to copy a real photo and like how it came out. The red hose under the yellow MU wire is the fuel tender connection.

Since we have a front end Friday and a switch yard Saturday how about a tail end Tuesday or weekend workbench?
Might get more people involved, someone’s always screwing up, er I mean working on something.

Sounds good to me Rico. Do you want to kick us off for Tail end Tuesday on Tuesday? I’m enjoying everyone’s inputs so far there’s a lot of Great Railroad Modelers here. Weekend Work Bench is a great idea too you can kick us off this Friday too I’ve always have some I’m working on.

Oops, I just realized we have a Tuesday thing going already (d'oh!) but still like the weekend thing tho.
Maybe we'll start one next weekend then.
