Love the pics here in this thread very realistic and awsome!

Believe it or not, that first shot does exist, it is a real house in the town of Lilly PA... It is the nicest house in the whole town, and the lady who lives there (her railfan husband died about 5 years ago) is thinking seriously of selling it. Look to the left and you have the MP 254 signal bridge, and look right and you look down towards Carneys Crossing . . Plus average house price in Lilly is about $20,000!!!

Ill certainly be waiting for it to hit the market!

I had a while that I was seriously trying to get the H*ll out of Florida and was considering West PA..... even with the terrible economy, job prospects there were (and still are) much better than here. That was one of the factors that I really liked is that there were a lot of homes on the market that were REALLY affordable. I had my eye on a beautiful 3/2 brick home right by the school in Eighty-Four for under $40k, with the freight company in town looking for drivers and paying over $50k/year.

Then I turned around and bought one here and now am trapped (for the short term). Oh well.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled screenshots thread........ (sorry for the topic drift, there, Scratchy!)

Thanks Matruck for the sign

Hold up, those stacks are blurred. If that's not a Photoshop job, keep doing what you're doing because that is too cool. And in other news, how did an IHB SW1500 make it over to that side of the country?

Nice shots, scratchy.

if you ever go to Altoona, you will find that you see locos from just about anywhere.

 

[DJReonic]

Supposedly, when other railroads can't fix their locomotives, they send them to Altoona.

 

[deadpoolmx55]

You're damn right they do!
