Cool pics! We can't even get near a railroad without getting busted by the Conrail police! Too many vandels have tried to derail trains and paint grafitti

Holy crap, that's terrible.

Thank you! Most of those pics were taken ... as I was driving .

I like the RR track pics. And I haven't seen a recent Monte update, Jen.

[montegirl79]

Been busy with school.. engine is apart and so far that's where I'm at. :/

Guess I need to look at some rebuild kits and get moving.

*nods*

Yes, yes you do need to get moving on that, Jen!

And, thanks ... glad you like the pics. The three you posted are wonderful ... I really like all three of them! Super that you shared 'em here!
