It shows the scale of US railroads, but that they are still small by the massive skylines of the major cities over there. Good find and thanks for sharing, it would make a very good wall picture for sure! Cheers I love the Maple Leaf picture too. The photography as a knack for sure.

Wendell1976 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Does it snow in the Los Angeles metropolitan area? YES, IT DOES! Here's a couple of pictures of a Metrolink commuter train in suburban Acton, California. Acton is a desert community along the Antelope Valley Freeway(California State Route 14, CA-14, or "The 14") between Los Angeles and Lancaster/Palmdale.

Wendell1976 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Here's a 1996 picture of a Southern Pacific Railroad train in Pando, Colorado. The train is running down a steep 3% grade on the western slope of Tennessee Pass towards Minturn and Salt Lake City. Pando is about 100 road-miles(160 road-kilometers) west of Denver. https://www.railpictures.net/photo/412253/ Wendell Idaho, USA 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting modellers’ note. Thanks as always, Keith. Those Kansas City Southern "Southern Belle" locomotives look very nice with the red, yellow, and black coloring. A lot of us railroad fans are waiting for the CPKC to decide what official color scheme they want to use long term for their locomotives. I am guessing the CPKC will use a simple color combination of red and white since the Canadian Pacific Railway bought out the Kansas City Southern Railway.
