"FALLEN FLAGS" FRIDAY

Happy FFF!

One of only two on the roster

Atlas Erie Built, MTH T1, and MTH M1

Great Northern Railroad. 

I saw this Iowa Interstate loco painted in the Rock Island colors in Blue Island, Illinois the other day.  I was able to scramble and jump out of the car to get this shot while it was rumbling away from me.  

The Northern Pacific still works the rails on the Seattle & Yakima RR.

SIRT, it's difficult to accept that your models are plastic!

Love the 457 !  I go past this every week in Mason City Ia.  This engine used to be at the cement plant for years pulling freight cars and cement cars to the main line. This engine was restored by many volunteers over the years.

It been awhile.

Love the MA & PA

Found this outside braced boxcar near Conway, New Hampshire.  The Maine Central (MEC reporting mark) began operations in 1862 and was sold to the US Filter Corporation in 1980 then to the Guilford Transportation Industries in 1981.  The "Maine Central" name remained until the early 1990s, when Guilford Transportation Industries changed over to their "Guilford Rail System" moniker.

I can't believe Lionel or MTH never did F units in BN.

I was just lamenting that fact last night at the club. BN, in general, has been neglected by MTH and Lionel when it comes to motive power, of which BN had a wide variety thanks to its creation through the merger of four major railroads.
