February's gone! Time for more great photos... Here's the tail of the head end heading into the south portal of Rockport tunnel.

Crews are sure busy at the Blairsville Shops. MT-4 #1003 is seen now sitting out back with Conrail #0. Conrail #0 is nearing the end of being finished and will be busy soon shunting engines and rolling stock around the shops.

Here we have Conrail Caboose #23014 and Conrail #9950 at the Blairsville Shops. GP40 #3091 is inside the shops getting work done which is just out of view in the photo.

A flight of fancy... A friend of mine from work (also a PSU fan) has a set that he'd like to put up for Christmas, but the couplers (horn hook are his preference) were never never installed on this blue box Athearn unit and the coupler clips were long gone... An evilbay purchase later and he's back in business. I now have six extra coupler clips that probably will never be needed, but you never know...

Coal train to Perch Cove Power caught me off guard while waiting for WPMA-17, not the best shot, but it;s better than nothing.

Bruce, I thought this thread was for models not prototype.
Your backgrounds and scenes are just amazing.

Ditto, Tom! The guy's a wizard! I always have to grab the drool bucket for every one of these Photo Fun shots that is featured by Mr. Welsh...
Tonight's cobbled colorful consist heads over the Lehigh. That's a Stewart U25B (CR patched EL) followed by an Atlas C424 (Penn Central), a Bachmann Spectrum SD45 (Erie Lackawanna), and a Stewart C628 (CR patched former Reading) pulling coal.
