#420 tends to be one of my favorites, too!

Sandy, The LAL has been running pretty much "Business as Usual". There is a steady flow of cars coming and going from Barilla, in Avon, and from Lakeville with ADM and Sweetners. #425 and #420 are still the regular Road locomotives with occaisional sightings of #418. #422 is at the shops f...

Way to go Mike! The effort paid off.

Lets start 2010 with a fresh movements thread. Post what you saw, where you saw it and which line it was on.

12-22-09 Southbound from GJ with about 50 cars. #422 leading #420 with illuminated candy canes, and #425 How festive! Past Marrtin Rd. Crossing moving this good sized train well. They are surely putting #422 through her paces while working for the LAL. Trains must be carrying alot more tonnage on th...

I like the number play! Very funny. I am holding my list to #428 for the former #550. Must be geting ready for paint. Question is.. I wonder if they are going to shoot the former #3006 NYSW unit at the same time. Maybe there was a sale on black paint.
