Not sure.
August 1942.
The first section of the Wolverine arrives at Englewood.
Departing Englewood.
Then the all-Pullman section of the Liberty Limited arrives, then departs During the war, the Liberty Limited regularly ran in two sections, one a non-stop (between Harrisburg and Englewood) all-Pullman section, and the other a coach and Pullman train making the regular stops.
The train speeds down the NYC and PRR raceway south of Englewood.
The PRR races through one of the Quad Draws. Nowadays, the B&O bridge is wrecked and one of the PRR ones is gone.

They are reskins of Whitepass's Pullman heavyweights by me. I'l see about uploading them to the DLS. The PRR heavyweights had stripes with Pullman lettering in the 20's, no stripes with Pullman lettering in the 30's, then back to Pullman lettering and stripes until 1950, then PRR lettering and stripes.

They are on the DLS, They are called Tenbridge 2.
Here's what it looks like today. NS installed crossovers from the former PRR line to the former NYC line and then abandoned one of them, which explains the crosovers in this shot. Only one of the lift bridges is gone. Apparently, when they were disassembling the first bridge, someone died in an accident during demolition, so they never disassembled the other two that were going to be demolished. The B&O bridge to the left was used until the 80's when an incoming ship hit the bottom of the bridge deck because it wasn't raised all the way. I think CSX uses the NS line now instead of repairing the bridge.
Also, I have to redo the PRR line through Enlglewood because it was a 4x3 diamond, not a 3x3 diamond. It's so hard to find consistent information on this line!

I reskined the FOM observation car, Magicland's ATSF 4-4-2, and Whitepass's C&O Harriman baggage. I did up a set for the Lark too.

Colorado & Southern #9 moving quietly through the Aspens to Devil's Gate Station
Hopefully we'll be seeing something like this real soon!
I was there when they moved it out.
