Lately I have been finding myself enjoying running what I call long trains of 25 or more cars. This is one of the primary reasons I went with a 16 foot plus layout. As everyone knows I also like to “railfan” my layout. At some point I began doing run-by photography. To me modeling is not just about the locomotives but about the whole layout and that includes the cars behind the locomotives and the scenery around them.
In the past I posted the run-bys as part of the weekly photo thread. Back then the trains were mostly under 20 cars and usually required three or four posts. Many times I felt guilty that with the number of photos and posts I could unintentionally be high jacking the thread. I will still post some teasers to the weekly photo thread but the run-by itself will be in its own thread.
I would welcome some feedback on this process as I move forward with it.
So now without further ado I present the B&O F7A and F7B 30-car run.
Baltimore & Ohio F7A number 4350 and F7B number 5475 are leading a manifest train from Elesmere Yard in Delaware to Eastside Yard in Philadelphia and eventually New Jersey. The engineer just called out to RG tower he is passing through Leiperville Union Sation.
Below is the link to the YouTube video of the Run-By
