I'm a HUGE Elsdon fan. I grew up along the mainline near 55st. I lived in the area from 1967 until about 1999. Back in the day my Dad would take down there to watch trains at 55st and 51st. I really miss the old yard, especially the station at 51st. I have been forever looking for pictures of the station and any other pictures of the yard on the internet, at train shows,etc. I even placed in several train magazines. I never got any responses so I figured that nobody cared or remembered Elsdon. Thanks for the great memories.

This is ex-GTW 1506, Serial # 20414. This is running on an early version of Flexi-Coil Trucks.
