Name Passenger Trains:
The second of a five-part series by Art Peterson is presented this month; it highlights some
of the premier trains that served the traveling public during the glory days of the modern
streamliner. Art's series which starts in the Pacific Northwest works it way towards the
eastern coast during the coming months. In February, Art presents
California and the Southwest. All aboard!
A Few Hours at Cresson & Gallitizin:
This month's trip report comes from Dennis Smolinski. He describes a spontaneous side-trip
to Cresson & Gallitizin, Pennyslvania while returning home from a four-day railfan gathering
in the east during the summer of 1985. Conrail traffic which was substantial for a Sunday
afternoon put on a good show. Check it out here.

Saudi Railway Organization:
It is not often that an opportunity comes along to review the diesel locomotive roster of
a railroad from another continent. Luckily, Forest Becht shares with us a firsthand photographic
look at the predominantly EMD roster of the Saudi Railway Organization
U.S.A. 250th Anniversary Locomotives:
The current number of locomotives painted to celebrate the country's Semiquincentennial now
stands at 15 with still additional units planned. We'll document each new
participating locomotive as they are introduced.
The 2026 American Freedom Train schedule has not been posted as yet. Please use the following AFT link to learn more about the train and to get answers to your questions. |
