Freight trains — Let’s see them!

BN heavy freight passing through on the S&Y RR.

Been awhile since I ran these two Lionel Famous American RailRoad freights. The Southern has all the cars that make up the set. The Great Northern has some Lionel, some KMT, and a K-line caboose. The sound of steam and whistle were top of the line in early 80s, not so hi tech now, but still a lot of fun.

Here they are in action.

Hauling away...

Two freight trains pass each other on the busy mainline.

Freight trains today are a Lackawanna Camelback powered freight and a SW1 powered way freight train.

Hi Frank, the NP Heritage diesel is from Lionel about 5 years ago or so.
