Our friends at Rapido Trains Inc. are producing an HO scale version of WEBX 2024 (NH 2058) in its rebuilt configuration, the first locomotive that we purchased. It is currently under restoration, plans are being developed but nothing is finalized. We were reminded (ahem) that the order deadline for 1:87 is May 15th, 2024, so we still have some time left to place our order.

Congrats to our friends at Railway Excursion Management Company on recently adding former New York Central lounge/diner/sleeper "Swift Stream" (RPCX 800460) to their fleet. Webb Rail's former New York Central Railroad Budd built Pullman obs/diner/sleeper "Babbling Brook" (WEBX 800007) was joined by this car on Amtrak Train 42 on Sunday, May 22, 2022. These cars ran together for many years on the "New England States", New York Central's Boston to Chicago overnight train and were reunited for this trip. The train is seen crossing the former Pennsylvania Railroad (now Norfolk Southern) Rockville Bridge, longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct ever built, over the Susquehanna River from Marysville, Pennsylvania to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Behind the photographer is the Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast, a hotel favorite amongst railfans. - John Webb III

Happy Holidays to those celebrating, stay safe and warm wherever you are today.

Georgia On My Mind. A snowy morning on Sunday, February 26, 2023 greeted Webb Rail's former Union Pacific Railroad Budd built Pullman 10-6 sleeper "Pacific Union" (WEBX 800640) and former New York Central Railroad Budd built Pullman obs/diner/sleeper "Babbling Brook" (WEBX 800007) while they were holding the markers on Amtrak Train 57 (Vermonter) as it crossed the Lamoille River in Georgia, Vermont. The freeze protection on the cars earned its money on this trip as the snow and sub-zero temperatures were relentless, though picturesque.

The current Amtrak station, with its well lighted high level platform, is located only a few hundred feet away.
