The Good Cheer rounds out the tail end of the Flying Crow as the Southern Bell passes in the other direction.
Good morning from cloudy and cold Northeast Ohio, high winds and rain expected later today. I finally managed to get a little work done, even while taking care of my wife after her surgery. First an easy Athearn Coal Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II Black paint and lettered with Champ Decals. The B&O continued using old twins long into the 70's as their financial condition precluded a lot of new cars and they purchased used cars from various railroads to fill out their fleet. Next a Branchline 50' RBL kit, painted with Scalecoat II Armour Yellow and Silver paints and lettered with Herald King Decals. The UP in the mid to late 50's home built several hundred RBL's in the 499000 class and they were repainted from time to time, this is a 1974 repaint into their current boxcar scheme. Here are a pair of Kato SD45's in PC paint hauling a general freight mainly made up of PS4785CF Covered Hopper cars on the Stongsville OH Club layout. Thanks for participating in this weeks thread!

Definitely 3. All are very nice, but winter is just hard to pull off! But, incidents like this are easier....
Toss-up between 1 and 2. Like others have written, #1 has that very photogenic old bridge. What appeals to me in #2 are those great, craggy, rocky peaks looming above the tracks. Looks like the old classic "half the car wants to take the siding and the other half wants to stay on the main" routine... Those tend to happen all by themselves... can't get any easier than that...
