Weekend at the Movies 2/19/2016

Happy weekend everyone!

Here are some compilations of Canadian National #89 and N&W #475 from this  past year:

Have a great weekend everybody!

The QA&P Quanah switcher has delivered the night's work to the FW&D.  While the switch crew went to beans, FW&D #151 stopped to fill at QU and has picked up the following:

bulkhead flats filled with wall board, hoppers of bulk gypsum, and cars from Frisco #537 (mostly tires from the Goodyear tire plant at Lawton).  Next is Coors beer down from Golden, CO in 50' plug door boxcars.  After that is tonnage from the sister roads down from Wendover, WY.  And finally, agricultural loads from Amarillo including anhydrous ammonia, grain hoppers, and tanks of corn syrup.

I think an old head from the Denver road would actually recognize this train from the past...

Trains in action at the Eagle Academy Charter Elementary School, New Jersey Avenue Campus, Washington DC on Thursday, February 18. Kids had a lot of action, too!

Here's a closer look at the Conventional 0-4-0 heading up the "Breakdown freight." This was a special LCCA offering some years ago, and I haven't run it much. I really liked how it operated, though, and it will get more use.

You can also see the tell tales from the Operating Brakeman cars. 4 were in the freight train consist on the innermost loop and proved to be a real kid-pleaser.

One more from the Great Scale Train Show, Timonium, MD, Feb. 7. I just can't get enough of this Daylight!

Not sure if I ever posted this "best of" video about steam locos on my old layout.

I was in Colorado two weeks ago and we stopped by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad's station and museum.  While there I got a short video of their #473 K-28 Class 2-8-2 heading out of the station to turn the train around after the afternoon run.

Minions changing the  schedule board. 

Here is a video i did last night been busy the past couple days LOL.
