Part #5, Railroad Signs & Signals

Railroad Signs & Signals

To All: Railroads post speed limit signs for regulating trains. I captured this sign in Montreal,Canada. It reads top to bottom--LRC (Light Rail self propelled passenger cars), 95 MPH, Regular Passenger Trains, 90 MPH and 60 MPH, Freight Trains. My question is this, are these speeds in KPH or MPH?

Late January Progress

The Railroad Hobby Show - Springfield Day 2

Day 2 of The Railroad Hobby Show found me at the show about an hour early, walking my tired feet around all the layouts here at the show....

This could take awhile - I'm hotspotting off my phone right now, and once I fly tonight, who knows what my wifi options will be.

Baldwin S-12 1458 Southern Pacific

Hi All,

my colleague asked me for a SP locomotive in "tiger strips". So my answer was quick and cheap - an Athearn Blue Box Baldwin S-12. (By the way that loco has too wide hood)

Some brass parts, puty, paint and decals and:

The Great Northern's Class O's compared with The Pennsylvania Railroad Class L-1's.
