Where the two local "Jintys" can always be found at this time of day... "down under" the coal stage.

Getting started after a stop under the station platforms, one of GM&O's colorful trains of mixed cars ducks under the many overpasses as it gets on it's way towards St. Louis.

That wouldn't be one of Josheh's models would it? It looks like his, but it also looks upgraded. (If that makes sense)

I'm still using TS2010; why do I bother entering?

Something I made "Down Under... the house"

It is, actually. I believe it was the PRR E8 from the DLS. Re-drew the details and added some shadows/highlights. Really helped it I think!

Also, nice shot eso! Loving the model railroad shots!

I still use TS12 for my entries, occasionally I throw one in from TANE.

I still use TS12, ATM T:ANE refuses to cooperate.

An older shot but I still like it.

On a crisp September night in 1937, we find train number 93, the eastbound Midnight Limited paused at Polisburg Union Depot. As the switcher shuffles about, splitting cars into the Boston and New York sections of the train, an Ohio River And Northwestern train number 2294 sits on an adjacent platform, ready for it's nightly stroll southwards towards Wheeling. This nightly ritual would only be performed for another six months, however, as the Midnight Limited's New York section would be discontinued for the first time in it's history, replaced with trains 59/60, the New York Arrow. Alas, as passenger traffic declined as a result of the automobile and the jetliner, the Midnight Limited would make it's last run in January of 1970.

"Under what?" you may ask? The Union Depot concourse, the platform shelters, and starry night sky.

Down Under The Overpass

The overnight cross country passenger express extends back under the overpass as it loads at the Wolf Hill Station at dusk.

The PRR liked the Skipper1945 Maunsel shunter so much

One of the final steam trains to run on this small branchline the Silver Lines ran. On that cloudy day, a railfan snapped this picture under the bridge as #2371 struggles up the 3% grade.
