Hi

nice collection Richard!

When I was a small child in the 70s, we'd take those trains from Spartanburg, SC to visit friends in Atlanta, Alabama and Louisiana. I loooooved the Crescent so. I adored the restaurant car and playing cards with my mom in the club car. Those were the days!

My grandparents lived in Laurel Mississippi which the Crescent went through going North to New York in the morning and South to New Orleans in the evening. I don’t know how many Crescents we saw back in the 60s when visiting on vacation. Great times and great memories.

Love those E-8's.

Nice layout!! Where did you get the sign for the facia for the town names etc?? I like that, and need to add some good signs on my layout facia.

This is friggin’ awesome. I was born in Gainesville in 1970. In ‘77 I was regularly at the depot in Gainesville watching trains with my dad. I remember the Crescent well and the semaphore signal at the depot. The Crescent always seemed to have an Amtrak car on it. I thought that was so cool. Always wanted one for my Lionel set. The bonus of the old GM 10 SD40 is GREAT. A close personal friend of mine was an engineer for the SCL and loved operating it. Interestingly I now live near Hull.

Sorry that I couldn't make the show this month Rich. Maybe next time.

I got to ride in the 1st Gainesville, Ga Diesel , the GP-40.. My Uncle was the engineer.. He would let me blow the horn at crossings.. I had that down pat !! 2 longs, 1 short, 1 long !!! If I hadn't went in the Army, I would have been a Train Engineer.. instead, I went to the Army Corps of Engineers.. Go figure~~.. LOL..

I grew up in Gainesville, GA.. Our farm house was on the Gainesville Midland RR. I was so fortunate to get to ride the Gainesville Midland w/ my Uncles who were Engineers and Conductors back them. I was young back then.. I'm 70 now. Those were glorious days riding the train !! I'll never forget it !!

Excellent filming!

23:23 ??

At this time I was riding 10 speed bicycle races in New Orleans. I was the only railfan. As we went down Haynes Blvd the southern tracks were parallel. When the crescent passed several riders would let go of the bars and act like they were pulling a whistle cord. When the engineer saw us he would blow his whistle for us we would wave and continue our bicycle race.

That was interesting. The bridge (trestle) is impressive.

Sorry that I missed the actual parade when I was at the show on Saturday. Thanks for capturing it all.
