Mid-Atlantic RPM photos

Excellent models and photos, Eric, thanks! Bob Cronin (who lives in CT I think)  is one of the people
who brings his Free-Mo modules up to Springfield in January for the huge annual train show. His modeling
has gotten better and better over the years. :-)

I still to this day do not like car ferries on Lake Michigan....
.....we were returning from a cruise to Door County and were in a very dense fog on our sailboat Aeolus (named and lettered for the CB&Q streamlined Hudsons).  The for was so thick we couldn't see the bow of our 26' boat.  It was before GPS was affordable and we were following the depth lines to navigate along the shoreline. 
A very loud ship's foghorn sounded and we got on the radio and tried to hail the car ferry (we were north of Manitowoc) and they never acknowledged us even though they no doubt had us on radar and heard our transmission.   This was not long after I had read the novel "Shipkiller" and when we finally got into port we lit some candles at the church there!
