GCT’s Parade of Trains / National Train Day 2013

I had a great time today at Grand Central Terminal’s Parade of Trains. Even with all the setbacks (I’ll explain later), I still had a great time. And I’d go again if my Architecture Studio final wasn’t due in less that 5 days.

However, I’m really, really tired. So I’ll upload the photos I took today in the morning.

But, I’ll leave all of you a little teaser…

Happy National Train Day everyone!

2013.04.14 This is NJT Train #1213, which terminates at Waldwick. It leaves Hoboken at 05:13pm, which is 1 minute before my train leaves. Often, we “race” it to Secaucus Junction, and we normally overtake it.  I took this just as we left Secaucus, so I fumbled getting my camera out of my bag… MTA-branded EMD GP40FH-2 No. 4903

Anonymous asked: It's funny because I feel the same way about myself. So I understand. Just know a lady-anon thinks you're cute anyway. Now, if I may ask: post a NS loco?

…

You asked for a Norfolk Southern locomotive and you shall receive.

Sorry about the terrible shot. I was on a moving train when I took it. Anyway, Norfolk Southern GP38-2 No. 5612…

I have too much stuff. One of these days I’m going to clear up this table and actually do something with it… Either I figure out a trackplan for this 4’x8’ (probably adding another 4’x8’ table in the process) or I move to a module setup. I’m open to all suggestions…
