Of people, rails, and places

Here's a blog by a fellow who enjoys Russian trains: Of people, rails, and places. Problem is he writes in Russian. No matter, I look at the pictures.

Fox River Trolly Museum

Below are some pictures taken today at the Fox River Trolly Museum. Hard to believe it's forty years old now, and that I remember visting when I was just a kid. I have a picture taken then of CA&E Car 20 I'll dig out and post. Afterwords I'm sure we went to Morris's for Bar-B-Que.

Branchline's Railway Express Agency Reefer

Branchline has some pictures up of their soon to be released model of an REA Reefer. I didn't realize the green/silver scheme was the 'as delivered' scheme. It didn't hold up well and the cars soon repainted the standard REA solid green.
