For those that are wondering it is a plant used to filter out the PCBs they dredged out of the Hudson River put there by GE . google Fort Edward, East st. find the canal and look to left that is the dewatering plant.
marty makarick: Not sure which # this is as there are 2 of these old Guilfords patched out now CPRail. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY GUILFORD SHELLS OR OLD GUILFORD LOCOS THEY WOULD LIKE TO DONATE OR SELL HO OR N-SCALE ?
This was taken on a Friday in October 2011 on a beautiful day we got our lunch at the old diner and were behind the Depot when I caught this train trying to sneak by.

I wanted to add loco detection to my layout but instead I am going to make my own using balluff proximity sensors and lots of leds so I got a few sensors from work so will let you know how it goes

Ok you 'proto' freaks out there. I have dilemma. I love the NS and the MRL locomotives. The issue...NS is very rare in the NW and MRL as I am sure doesnt exist anywhere outside of the area of the NW(I have yet to see one in Idaho). I would love to make a Appalachian scene. I would even enjoy a Rocky Mountain scene. The only issue I truly run into..We dont have very many cities in the NW excluding Portland/Vancouver, Seattle/Tacoma and the flat cities of Boise/Bozeman/Billings. I would love to incorporate a NS/MRL mountain scene with a city scape. How would I do this being "proto-typical?"

Warren Buffett told CNBC today that the improved economy could drive Berkshire's railroad unit Burlington Northern Santa Fe to record
earnings this year. Time to buy shares in the railroad again??

I am tired today. Did a complete inventory so I can better track what I've got and what I've gotten rid of. I need a bigger layout so I can count everything on the layout and not in the boxes.
