F at the station
Title:  F at the station
Description:  I was finally talked into going to Branson. We stayed in the Hilton at the Convention Center, which was adjacent to the Branson Scenic. It was an easy walk to get some shots of the train in the morning. My luck was typical: it rained.

Fs waiting
Title:  Fs waiting
Description:  Practice for the MARC diesel hauled trains at the time was for the power to stage, and the Wasington Terminal crews to spot the trains at the platforms. The road power would tie on in the station. Here we see a rear view of three F units waiting for their trains to be spotted.
