Like a Phoenix from the ashes railroading goes on:
In a scene repeated thousands of times across the Land a shortline switching job rolls past a long-disused passenger station. The building of the interstate highway system and the globalization of industry has led to the abandonment of many thousand miles of track in America but ingenuity and inventiveness has repurposed many Class I routes into regionals and shortlines and so railroading survives in out-of-the-way places.

Lee is that Speed or Crown Graphic in your profile picture? I have a 1953 Crown Graphic that I used to use extensively with modern lenses for my landscape photography. Digital kind of killed it, but I feel the call to go back to 4x5 to relearn how be more selective with my image making.
My contribution today. Probably posted elsewhere on the forum at some point in time over the last 12 years.
Posted in memory of my friend Jack Eaton who was a KCS fan to the core. This photo dates to 2010.

It's an 'anniversary' model pre-war speed graphic. It also has the wand for the flash, the type used as a light saber in the Star Wars movies (and almost impossible to find today due to the sci-fi people messing them up for that reason).
Note the grey case for it in this shot in the back of my 1944 Willys Jeep:
And me in my Pacific theater war correspondent uniform, standing in front of a newly-restored Corsair:

This is a tin plate model, correct? Do you recall the manufacture. Recall seeing 3 version of the model with different road names in the O gauge magazine years ago. They didn't feature sound or smoke if memory serves me correctly.
Very nice
Breakfast:
I took this pic of my Dad c. 1964. City of Portland Dome Diner. Note the suit&tie. Travel was a dress-up occasion for many. In those days that was common on the trains as was women in dresses. The Pullman Porter polished one's shoes every night.
