Western Railroad Discussion > A Patriotic Celebration for the 4thDate: 07/03/02 21:30 A Patriotic Celebration for the 4th Author: HomerBedloe Let me be the first to wish all a Happy 4th of July (its only 30 minutes away here in Texas!). I'll start the parade with a bicentennial unit from WP. Let's see those Red, White and Blue locos from 1976 to celebrate our heritage!

After the southbound train arrived, this is a shot of power heading to the shops.
