    I spotted the same quite quickly. Was going ask why those seem to be deteriorating as seen. I cannot recall seeing the same of other railroads. Those boards are interior, so....?

    Maybe this is the wrong forum to share this? But thought fellow rail fans would enjoy this nice little video of a completed lighted section of my son and I History of BNSF railroad layout. We call it,
    "Night Shift Rollout"



    Anyway, just sharing for all the rail fans to see.

    And a closed one. I painted this one with a fresh coat from a rattle can after installing it on a siding where we were working on a car.

    Russell, I disagree. Based on what you have posted in the past, those are men Playing...including yourself. :cool:

    The newly shopped streamlined P-14 Pacifics went into service in mid 1937 and were all scrapped in the early 1950s. So it could have been somewhere in that period.

    Nice to see these are intact, 35 years and more....

    Is the Max depot gone? I corresponded a bit with the agent there, years ago. He sent me a batch of Soo train orders for my collection.

    Long gone, near as I can tell. There's a newer CP crew building just west of the big grain bins, but it's not Soo heritage as far as I know.
