For some unexplained reason, most likely some random freak of nature, the crack 20th Century Limited has been diverted south onto a slower, but much more scenic track. Abandoning all hope of meeting schedule, the engineer throttles back the big diesels and lets the passengers enjoy the view.Many thanks to Train Artisan for this terrific train (From American Classics, by the way)and to Mr Garber and company for such an incredible route.Larry

Thanks, Shawn,Yes, the cars and engines are both from TA's American Classics, There's also a second set of F units that couple to the Empire State Express, only those cars are all silver. I happen to like these better.Larry

Good morning Rich,Good grief, man, you don't need my permission. Take as many as you want. I'm honored that so great an icon as you would even want them.Rich, this route is beyond words. Every time I run it I'm more impressed. It blows me away as to how you can create such a piece of work with the tools that Bill Gates provides.Take care -Larry
