I can't express my sadness of the passing of my great friend, Joseph Boardman. I'll share a happy memory. Mom & I had just attended DC @ASLRRA convention. Joe, @AmtrakBrian, Mom @philhancock & I talked about freight & passenger rail working together & how that would save RRing.
Although several America’s 250 locomotives were recently released, I was almost finished with a new Santa Fe Blue & Gold Geeps poster and magnet set. I always find it is good to finish projects I set out to work on. Customtrains.org
This Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range train carries carloads of Taconite to Two Harbors, MN. We give a wave as the train heads on its way. Customtrains.org
These Frisco locomotives move trains at Tulsa. The SD45 leads a manifest train to St Louis while the SD40-2 leads a fast freight to Memphis. Customtrains.org
I finished drawing Southern Pacific 0-6-0 S-10 #1233 that is on display at the Woodland Depot in Woodland, CA. SP 1233 is being cosmetically restored by Sacramento Valley Historical Railways.
I have a new poster and magnet set of the Big Boy #4014 Coast To Coast Tour. It is great see how much enthusiasm for railroading the Big Boy is bringing in its tour across the country.
With the Big Boy headed east, I thought I would visit a local steam engine today. Here is Southern Pacific 0-6-0 1233 at Sacramento Valley Historical Railways in Woodland, CA. With all of the Big Boy excitement, don’t forget to support your local railroad museum! 🚂👍
I haven’t yet updated to the Big Boy train as it started to head east , But I thought I would post my Big Boy poster from the Western leg of the American Tour
One exhibitor at Railway Interchange whose display really caught my eye was Rail Decals that provides all kinds of lettering decals for the railroad industry.
