Drawing of the Day-September 5, 2015 Penn Central FL9

Yesterday I drew a Penn Central FL9 in MTA inspired blue and yellow.  Penn Central's FL9s were originally owned by the New Haven.
These locomotives, owned by Penn Central, were painted blue and yellow as they worked in MTA commuter service.  FL9s are well remembered by rail enthusiasts and historians.

Drawing of the Day-August 30, 2015 Amtrak Empire Service FL9

Today I drew an Empire Service FL9 for my friend, Amtrak engineer David Todd Magill.  Amtrak Empire Service operates between New York City, Albany and Buffalo.
Amtrak acquired its FL9s in 1978 from Conrail.  The FL9s served for many years in Empire Service.
