Those are some locos that I can salute for. Our veterans paid a great price, so we could be free and live our lives in peace. Some of us can even say that if it weren't for those brave people, that we wouldn't be here. Thank you all, for being there to make our way of life possible.
Yeah ........... the subtitle does say "Texas, The Empire State" which got me a bit confused. I guess if a place is declared "The Empire State" then it gets emigrants ..........
Some photos from today’s trip to the Tokyo Metro museum. Interesting set of exhibits on the construction and history of the Tokyo subway system. The red car with pink interior is a 301, built in 1954 for the Maronouchi Line. The yellow car is the 1001 car and was the first subway car used in Japan-the subway here opened in 1927. Series 100 car from the 1950s Afterwards we had lunch at “Platinum Fish” a restaurant on an old passenger platform near Kanda station. Pretty much 360 degrees of railfanning commuter trains (and a keyhole shot of the trains on Tohoku Shinkansen line). Lots of rail fans in attendance. I grabbed a shot of the Chuo-Sobu line in the distance and an E353 series running the Narita Express. But many other trains came by on both sides of our table. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think I may have seen this same restaurant mentioned in the Shinkansen episode of TV's Mighty Trains on the Smithsonian Channel. The show also had a segment on the "Dr. Yellow" Shinkansen track testing trains, which are quite the attraction for kids and fans.
Yeah. Don't cha remember this post? https://www.trainboard.com/highball...pe-photos-for-all.81841/page-551#post-1264821
From 04/13/1986 at the former Clinchfield yard in Spartanburg is a Watauga Valley NRHS fantrip led by SBD A-B-B-A Fs. (Is that an Avanti to the right? )
CPKC 181 passing the searchlights of the Savanna Diamond on the CPKC Chicago Subdivision. Hope this brings back memories of the MILW. May 31, 2023 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If it is an Avanti, it isn't an original Studebaker-manufactured one because they had round headlight bezels. There were several modified reincarnations built by independent entrepreneurs, however, after Studebaker stopped production. I had an AMT model of an Avanti as a teenager(or maybe even a pre-teen) and my friends and I thought they were about the coolest car in existence, then. Doug
Y'all are too much. Right on @Doug Gosha and @Kurt Moose. I enlarged that edge of the slide. Adding to Doug's appraisal, I now find that many Avantis had vertical parking lights outside of the headlights on the fender lip and the car in my slide lacks these. Yep, it all matches -- a Chevy Laguna it is!
