Nostalgia & History > My Absolutely Best Fallen Flag photoDate: 04/05/14 14:51 My Absolutely Best Fallen Flag photo Author: NKP715 Date is Sept 25, 1964, and here's CB&Q 100, their first
U25B, awaiting pickup at Erie. In the background, NKP RS-36 868 works at Dean yard/siding. Second photo shows the 100, with 101 coupled behind her. As the 100 is on the closest of two tracks at the interchange, a third fallen flag, the Pennsy, will pick the units up. The further track is the New York Central, fallen flag #4.

Yukon Yeti, arms flailing about yelling "What a Super Photo!" Date: 04/05/14 16:36 Re: My Absolutely Best Fallen Flag photo Author: KCCharlie The trifecta - Striking, Stunning, and Beautiful. We can't get Warren to go War Bonnet, at least consider Chinese Red. Wow!
KCCharlie Date: 04/05/14 17:18 Re: My Absolutely Best Fallen Flag photo Author: icancmp193 CB&Q Chinese Red/gray/white one of the very best Fallen Flag schemes (and their first scheme wasn't too bad either!).

Anyhow NS1703 the second picture sure looks like a brand new plastic model except for the third radiator grill. Bring on more CB&Q pictures. I've seen mine before.

That is, why is it called Chinese Red? Date: 04/06/14 20:20 Re: My Absolutely Best Fallen Flag photo Author: YukonYeti Great Confucius say " I like CB&Q" therefore it be called Chinese Red.

And what about Big Dick and the MoPac 'team' in Omaha? At least BNSF's customers are happy.
