I found this locomotive sitting near the Osram Sylvania factory in Towanda, PA on the Towanda Monroeton Shippers Line, which was recently purchased by the Reading & Northern. It is August 2006. The locomotive is painted similar to one of the LVRR's paint schemes. Which is appropriate since this scene is just south of where this line joins the LVRR main line. But, it does not have any LVRR heritage according to this webpage I found:

last week i posted a couple photos inside antwerp central station.

here it is from outside, maybe 1/4 a mile away

gives you an idea just how big the station is.

bruce also commented saying how nice the european train sheds are, and indeed with have some cracking ones (including my local, brighton station) but here is st pancras' roof. a very impressive shed

Some time ago the CP-Soo intermodal train waiting for a meet on the CSX at Grand Ledge, MI. 11-8-04



D-708 the local arrives and takes siding...



The stack train highballs W of Grand Ledge at Mulliken.



CP is not using the CSX line in MI anymore.

Hey, Skip, OK if I post a photo on the 14th?

Here's an NS hopper train westbound into Roanoke in March of 1996.

Here's all that's left of the St. Louis Union Station train shed.
There's a parking lot where the trains used to be.

An "Eco-Diesel" snapped in Ottawa's Walkley Yard a couple of years ago.



Not sure where the unit is today.



All the best, Mike Hamer
