speaking of MN, it was a downright tropical 45 degrees here today in the twin cities, hope all the LI people enjoy getting fistfucked by old man winter this week, i'll take the january thaw we are having.

some nice equipment and modeling for sure, but it don't look like the eastport i remember.

there seems to be a severe lack of prototype LIRR layouts, other then a couple examples i can think of.

a couple years ago at the clark NJ train show there was a guy selling multiple copies of the montauk branch abandonment study, they were slightly out of my price range (if i recall he wanted sixty bucks a pop for them) but i do regret not grabbing one, probably some very interesting information in t...

driving home from work at about 6:15 this morning spotted 270/271 sitting at BRT with a nice sized train looking set up to run west. there was another cut of cars up at YA siding.

haven't seen this much railfan pie-in-the-sky on this forum in a long time A+ thread.
