Beautiful shot!  Could be an ad in a magazine or on the cover'....

Good afternoon, this is Pennsylvania K4 3858 getting her tender filled at the water spout on a cold winter afternoon.

Second photo is the same engine waiting for an approach signal to move out onto the main.

The signal man at the bottom of the Interlock tower is holding up train orders for a  approaching fast freight.

Have a great weekend, stay safe !!!!!

Happy FEF. Note Southern Railway ran their engines long nose forward.

Happy F.E.F folks...geysergazer - neat picture of the Boeing parts train.  Interesting side note...in talking with some friends of mine who work with Boeing in Seattle they told me that one of the biggest jobs they had after the fuselages arrived at the plant was fixing all the BULLET HOLES in them !!

My picture for F.E.F is a Marx Western Pacific E-7 A--A pulling out of the depot ready to hot shot up the main with the express to the Big City!

Happy F.E.F everyone- have a healthy and happy weekend

My son's train was running around today.

So much great photography and inspiring layouts here.

Does OGRR need a Rear End Weekend thread to complement the Front End Friday?

       NKP #759 at Steamtown in 1998. I saw this engine storm out of Hoboken, NJ in 1968.

Back on track after being absent last week.  A shot that I took of Tri-Rail F40PH #810 at the Fort Lauderdale station on 12.22.10

FEF. An MPC GP and the K-Line Wine Train ALCO.

Today here are some ends of the front kind of my Pennsy fleet.  I want to give credit to FSJR switch tender Willy Joe ( Leanin Willy ) Jones as he is proud to have played a significant  part in the staging of this pubic relations photo creation!  Let's here it for Willy Joe!!   My Pennsy Power fleet.  Left side front to rear:  WbB scale 44 tonner, MTH Aerotrian, Williams scale GG1 #4875, MTH Premier P5a modified, K line scale A5  steam switcher. On right side is WbB scale PA 2.  

Three modes of power ...  steam, electric, and diesel electric.  Pennsy had them all ... as did some other roads too ... such as B&O ( who was first to use electric locos. )  .... Milwaukee , New Haven to name a few.  

A post-war, Lionel, 736 Berkshire comes into view pulling a long freight train past Terryville.

The dark side of ends of the front kind.  

UP #7260 on point eastbound through Edwardsville, KS

scaring those chickens

SP, FT, w/Dynamic Brakes'..

Famous front end...

Happy F.E.F folks...I don't get too many "night" shots but I thought this one came out kind of neat.  French Hornby OVA locomotive and a short consist of 3 coaches makes a late evening departure heading for the city. 

Have a good weekend everyone!
