A trio of engines from the newly formed Burlington Northern Railroad rolled through Empire City recently with a unit grain train. The locomotives leading the train were 2 SD40-2s and 1 GP38-2. All three are Athearn BB products that have been hard wired and have KD couplers added. The second SD40-2 in the lash up has an HLCX patch on the cab side. The Covered Hoppers are from Accurail, Athearn, Atlas and IHC. All cars have been upgraded with metal wheels and body mounted couplers where appropriate.
Welcome to my Blog. The scope of this blog is to record the trials and tribulations of building and maintaining an HO scale layout, the trains and all of the ancillary projects that go with it. In 2017 New York Central subsidiary short line Empire Belt Railroad came into existence. The New York Central / Penn Central and Empire Belt are now the major railroads featured.
