F-units and drumheads good group for the day donchathink. to bad CN did away with those F’s once they assumed control of the ACR from the WC. Intresting note that the Algoma never purchased F units those were brought in by the WC when they assumed control in the 90’s and specifically put them and the domes on the Agawa Canyon train . At least CN has left the domes on the train.

Ahoy Cap’n Tom!
Sad day for me - but it must be done . . . Last visit ovAH here for the foreseeable futAH . . .
Only regret is that we didn’t attract very many guys who have been willing to ENGAGE - lots 'n lots of browsers, but I guess that’s the nature of things here in cyber space where it’s so easy to TAKE, but so much harder to GIVE. [tdn]
Anyway - good luck to all the guyz ovAH at my favorite watering hole “Our” Place! [tup] [tup] [tup]
Until the next time! [tup]
Lars

One for this Saturday . . . .
Book Description: Every evening for much of the twentieth century, 50,000 or more travelers snuggled under crisp Pullman linens, falling asleep in one state and awaking in another. This nostalgic look back at what was essentially a rolling hotel company contracted by the nation’s railroads to provide guest accommodations, covers every aspect of Pullman operations, from the emerging popularity of steam-powered rail travel in the early twentieth century to its diesel-powered zenith and its eventual nadir in the 1950s and 1960s. Pullman’s entire complex network of employees and services is featured, from the ticket offices that manually handled millions of reservations each year to the six car shops spread across the nation to perform heavy maintenance and repairs, and all of Pullman’s porters, mechanics, cleaners, electricians, cooks, barbers, shoe shiners, and more. Illustrated with both black-and-white and color period views depicting Pullman interiors and facilities, as well as memorabilia and sales literature.
Enjoy! [tup]

Book Description: In the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the train represented the apex of high-speed travel, railroad companies spared no artistic or monetary expense in the design and construction of their stations. Structures coast to coast, past and present, are represented in this history of American railroad terminals. A blend of archival photographs, both black-and-white and color, combine with modern color shots to relate the stories behind the design, the architecture, and the use of terminals like Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania Station in New York City, Washington, D.C.‘s Union Station, Chicago’s Dearborn Station and Union Station, Minneapolis’ Milwaukee Road Station, and the Union Passenger Terminal in Los Angeles, to name a few.

Don’t know why the write-up doesn’t ‘say’ - but that’s Cincinnati’s Union Terminal on the cover . . .
Enjoy! [tup]
