SHOTS ALONG THE WAY...
There are still eight (8) T9000E EasyDCC radio throttles for sale at $ 100.00 each.
What is that I spy in the LO&W Yard in Shreveport?
Could it be the future for the Sue Line?
A closer look indicates that Amtrak may be coming to the Sue Line.
Is this a "race" between the Amtrak and
the Canadian Pacific locos?
Well it looks like we can tell who is coming.
Could this be the first run of the new Amtrak service?
Could this be a new crew for the Shreveport Public Belt?
The day look quite in Robinson.
It looks like the storm last week has taken down a tree in Brandon.
The "regulars" appear to be gathering at Findley's for checkers.
It looks like downtown Brandon was spared from the storm.
A north bound fast freight, Train 313 (above), pulls out of Pinecrest.
The keeper of the Ring was
Art Houston (above) with his train in Pinecrest.
The sparks are flying over at L.C. Sparks in North Park.
It appears things are about to change in Jeauxville.
It appears that EMGE grain in Dutchman Falls got a new coat of paint.
Could this be new power for the I-49 Yard?
