Front End Friday

Once again, not a train front end, but a front end nonetheless!

Happy Friday. Patriot Railroad early morning switching

Happy Front End Black Friday!

Good afternoon, here are a couple of front end photo's I took on the IUP Museum 2018 Train Display.

Have a good Friday 

The colors of some of the trains and scenery in the above photos are striking.

The Commodore!

Here's some front end's on my new layout.  Azgary

We have just finished the new train room in the basement,  I did set up a temporary layout until I can get a permanent one decided.  So the Rock Island 2031 was the one with honors for the first run. 

FEF 11/30/18  one of my favorites...

This was an NS engine tied up in Blairsville PA.

This train was sitting on the siding that leads to Rosebud Mining Coal dump.

Took this in De Soto Mo early this fall in town 

B&O front end.

Looks like someone had lots of time on their hands to stripe those KCS handrails like that.

I had no idea the Presidential seal on 4141 was a plaque, not a decal.

Happy FEF!

This could be the front end sometimes right? 

Absolutely!

Is the President actually aboard, or is that photo-shopped?

CNN: "President George H.W. Bush in the cab of the Bush 4141 locomotive at its unveiling in 2005."
