Russian Railway's Bi Level Wagons

Concept's older than I thought. I watch Metra's bilevels pass every day outside my window in Lombard.

The first Russian double-decker cars were built in 1905 at Tver Carriage Works.
Double-decker cars are still being built at this same factory in Tver, but the technology has taken a big leap forward! #rzd #russianrailways #history pic.twitter.com/kvYMUjIdB7

Kato Noch VT18.16

This is what I do when snowed in for the weekend in Wisconsin.  I set up my Kato oval and run Kato Noch's VT18.16.  A model of the DR's TEE train.

Forest Park Illinois SOO Line Depot

A picture via a friend of the SOO Line Depot in Forest Park, Illinois.  I believe the B&O's Chicago Terminal Transfer RR owned the structure.  Their tracks ended just north of this picture at Madison Street and the SOO Line began just north of there.  I remember this station from passing it on trips to Hines Lumber across the street.  It was stucco building.  Unusual for a station in Chicago although common for homes in the area.  I grew up in one.
