Me when I realized I saw 3 of 4 of 1522’s old support cars on the property while looking at pics again

Also, the observation car in the background of one of the pics is also a former 1522 car! It’s the business car that was with the set!

The dude that was complaining literally said he had other things to put money towards in his own region lol and that was said to a crew member on the post too

That it’s not real MILW colors, is inaccurate, it looks like a Lionel fantasy scheme, the crew did a shit job and should’ve done a different paint scheme instead of this. The usual. I had to turn comments off because of that

A recap:

Saw Milwaukee Depot

Shoveled coal into the 261

Was asked by the crew numerous times “so you’re the Texan we’ve been hearing so much about this weekend”

Got upgraded from coach to first class

Rainy day railfanning experience

Got to explore the 261 base

Got up close to the equipment
