Western Pacific GS-64 #485 pulling freight is being loaded with left over Xmas giant candy canes to be delivered to the North Poll, so the Elves can much on them all year long until next Christmas. The Elves will soon be as large as Santa himself! At least 3 front ends here. The crane operator seems to be MIA!! Also. looks like I caught a SP employee organizing baggage in the Daylight baggage car, too.
Note: The WP GS isn't covered in dust like all my other photos of locomotives! ;-)
Happy FEF, and Happy New Year!

Happy Front End Friday!
Happy Front end Friday! PW 209 New Haven getting ready to pass a Williams GP-38.
Well hello F.E.F fans, here we are at the first Friday in 2022 !... I for one am hoping for at least 51 more (LOL)....Today, my offering is one of Lionels most prolific engines of the pre-war period. The 253/253E which was produced from the 1920's until the middle 30's in a myriad of variations. This one is often called by collectors "Stephen Girard" green, not by Lionel who always referred to the color as "Apple Green". The origins of the Stephen Girard nickname are somewhat uncertain, but Stephen Girard himself was a colonial era banker in Philadelphia who is often credited with saving the nation from bankruptcy during the War of 1812. He was born in 1750 and died in 1831 and is often called the 4th or 5th richest man in U.S. history. He had no known connection to Lionel however (mystery continues). So anyway, enough history, here is the Lionel 253 this one from about 1933-35.
The F.E.F shot, front view, cast headlights, manual reverse, and brass trim.
Front quarter view.
Side view.
Best wishes for a great weekend

Thanks Cody. I redid the yard last year and I'm really happy with the way it came out.
