Front ends for this fine Friday! 

Just took this photo of this Tri-Rail BL36PH at the Pompano Beach station a few minutes ago on my way into the office after a doctor's appointment. 

Happy FEF everyone!

                            still looking for info on it...       have a great weekend everyone !!

 

 

Brian, I've been combing teh googles for pics of small locomotives and can't find a match. Maybe Marci can go back there and find the builder's plate and take a pic? 

Happy FEF!

One more from the late morning commute to work.  It's CSX #2800 (a GP38-2) at the Hialeah Rail Yard

Apologies for the window glare from the passenger coach I was riding in when I took the photo.

For some reason, I think that is a old Plymouth industrial locomotive'...

Ted, wrt Plymouth lineage two things bother me: (1 the outboard wheel-bearings & suspension and (2 the full-height hood. Any Plymouth photo I've seen shows a lower hood.

Lew, take a look at this web site'.  There are many similar industrial locos.  Yours could possibly be English or Russian... Still reminds me of the Plymouth's from the early 40s....

Looks like some of us are getting primed up for SWSAT! See you guys over there tomorrow have a great evening. 

Hey Lew, The experts and my friends on the RRLF, inform me of the following...

It's a GE 35 Ton industrial loco.
It was for sale as surplus or scrap: https://www.aepsurplus.com/pro...9&categoryID=105

Happy FEF!

Love the BL-2. I have the same demo model. Now I've gotta get it out of the box and on the rails.
This one's nice too

Yes the demo BL-2 is a must have.  Although actually built as a BL-1.  But was modified to a BL-2 like the production models.

Good evening,

my photo this week is a Pennsy M1A getting a proced signal from the Pennsy Interlock Tower.

The M1 has a coal drag connected to its coast to coast tender.
