I was passing thru Phoenix, AZ on Dec. 1st and caught the UP SD70ace George Bush 4141 on the point of a long passenger train all dressed up in the yellow UP colors. No pictures as I was on the freeway heading west. The train was heading East. Chanda

Hi Miles, I also just got Trainz 2006 but have found out that I have to do some up-grading. More Ram and maybe a different video card. So you think it is amazing, well that is encouraging and maybe I have something to look forward to. Chandler

Model Railroader and Railroad Model Craftsman. In 1957 I was stationed at March AFB and another airman was leaving and he asked me if I would like his MRR book collection. I took them and there was MRR from 1934 thru 1957. I left March and passed them on to another airman. I sure wish I had...

Can isopropyl alcohol be used as a paint thinner for Floquil paint ? I'm getting tired of paying $ 8 plus for a can of paint thinner. Chanda

Has anyone tried the TrainPlayer game of railroading. ? I just recieved an e-mail and it is only $ 39.95 for the Deluxe , regular price is $ 59.95. It looks as though you would get a good feel for switching but I'm not sure it is worth the $ 39.95:wave: Chandler

I know what you mean Brian , it seems as though the great pumpkins are everywhere. I thought that it was of interest that a BNSF freight had a NS loco on the point. I have hundreds of photos taken in Cajon Pass and this is the first time I have seen something other than BNSF on the point

Here is a photo of a south bound BNSF freight wit a Norfolk Southern loco on the point. This photo was taken in March 2006 just south of Sullivan's Curve in Cajon Pass ___________________________________________ Chandler

Freelance or maybe "copy-cat" as my track plan came from MR about 25 years ago. I built it pretty much as the MR article was written. Of course I changed the name of the RR and the setting was changed from Jerome, AZ to Tonapah, NV. I am still building it and it has been fun...

BNSF Cajon Pass Lash-UP Here is another from the Cajon Pass. North bound with a BNSF Loco on the point followed by CN , CSX and another BNSF

The 4th loco is a Norfolk Southern. You see all kids in the Pass from CSX, CN once in a while you can see a freight with three or 4 different roads and not all from the BNSF. Chandler

ezdays I tried it again and it worked fine. Iguess it has something to do with my "pop-up blocker" When I tried before I typed in the text and then tried to add the photo. The pop-up blocker blocked the window so I had to close the pop-up blocker and after i added the photo I submitted the...

Here is a photo that I took in June 2006. It was taken in Cajon Pass just south of Sullivan's Curve. It kind of sums up the merger of the Santa Fe and the Burlington Northern with the NEW on the point and the OLD following. Chandler
