Another one of my favorites.......I grew up watching this livery whiz by when I visited my grandparents in Larchmont, NY.......their home was next to the New Haven 4 track main line....
The Atlas Trainmain cars sure look great with the K Line EP-5.....but then, I freely admit, I'm a New Haven homer!

Wikipedia: "The Pennsylvania Railroad's class I1s steam locomotives were the largest class of 2-10-0 "Decapods" in the United States, with 598 built 1916–1923. They were the dominant freight locomotive on the system until World War II, and they remained in service until the end of PRR steam in 1957."
This MTH version is one of my favorite steam locomotives.

I still need to get a prr decapod. Some day. Hopefully a PS3 is in the future. There's an interesting book called" Up and Running, The Life of a Pennsylvania Railroad Engineman" in which the prr decapods are discussed from crew perspective. Apparently the crews hated it, very difficult and uncomfortable, and his opinion it was misused by the railroad!

AWESOME !!
Som BNSF MOW equipment moving towards Chicago today.
@pennsy484 - "Apparently the crews hated it, very difficult and uncomfortable, ". They were very rough riding at any speed above a crawl. Luckily, I don't have to ride in the cab - just admire it as it goes by. 
I picked up a 3656 cattle car set in very good boxed condition at a train show in Florida a year or so ago.
Gave it a tune up by replacing the wiring and new rubber pads. The pads Perish with age and the car does not work correctly. 
Have a great weekend.

Much like the PRR S1 and T1......in my little world they are successful and loved and lasted into the 1950's.....why I like my little world!!!
Nice photos everyone!
I picked up some trash container flats today.
The crew of Conrail train OIPI must be ecstatic with the placement of the trash cars on the head end of the train.
Pretty sure this local crew is also thrilled as OIPI passes.
A string of auto loader cars on the little 4X6 pulled by a Williams WP F3. There should be another car in the consist, but I think a package thief stole it or it was delivered to the wrong address.

This is awesome Alex! Love the helipad.
First train item I have bought in many years.It is a MTH CTA el train set.I have been riding the CTA trains quite a bit the past few years on the weekends to get around in the city and avoid traffic and parking troubles.I couldn't resist buying an O gauge model of the el train I enjoy riding.

I think she did a fine job, pretty clear!
I rode the New York Airways helicopter from Laguardia Airport to Newark Airport, with an enroute stop on the top of the Pan Am building. Probably about 1975. It was an interesting experience landing on the roof top that high up. I could not find when these helicopters carried the Pan Am logo.
