Trackside in Eastern Canada with the Plant Family is a stunning visual journey through several decades of railway photography across the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario. Brothers Jeffrey and Jeremy Plant, along with Jeremy’s son Brian, chronicle their explorations from the 1970s to the early 2000s, capturing the evolution of Canada’s eastern railways, from the Alco-powered main lines of Canadian National and Canadian Pacific to the remote mining railroads of the Canadian Shield. Blending family adventure, heritage, and a lifelong passion for trains, this book offers a rare and intimate look at both the grandeur and the grit of Canadian railroading.

Through more than 150 vividly detailed scenes, readers will follow the Plants from the busy ports of Halifax and the coal trains of Cape Breton to the majestic wilderness of northern Ontario. Each photograph is paired with expert commentary and rich historical context, making Trackside in Eastern Canada both a captivating travelogue and an essential reference for rail enthusiasts and historians alike.

The Milwaukee Road Racine & Southwestern Division: The Rest of the Story continues Jerry Pyfer’s previous Tales from the Racine & Southwestern, his firsthand account of life on one of the Milwaukee Road’s most memorable divisions during its final years. Rather than a traditional corporate history, this book captures the everyday reality of railroading in southeastern Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois through personal stories and a wealth of photographs, many published here for the first time. Pyfer draws on his own experiences working train service between 1971 and 1978, presenting railroading as it was lived — imperfect, demanding, and deeply human.

Arranged largely in chronological order, the book allows readers to follow the evolution and decline of the Racine & Southwestern Division as the Milwaukee Road faced aging infrastructure, power shortages, and financial collapse. Richly illustrated and candidly told, The Rest of the Story is an essential companion to Tales from the Racine & Southwestern and a compelling read for Milwaukee Road enthusiasts, railroad historians, and anyone interested in the working railroad of the 1970s.

The MUmP54 fleet was built for the Pennsylvania Railroad from 1910 through the 1930s and formed the backbone of PRR's electrified commuter service around Philadelphia and New York. In the postwar years, many cars received upgraded aluminum window sashes that gave them a distinctly modern look compared to the original steel-framed cars. Paint schemes are authenticated per PRR Historical Society reference materials. Many of these cars survived through the Penn Central and SEPTA eras into the early 1970s.

This is the non-powered trailer version, designed to run with powered MUmP54 units.

Model a rare piece of secondary-market commuter history with this highly detailed Con-Cor P-54 Coach lettered for Norfolk & Western. Road number 475 wears Tuscan Red with a black roof — reflecting the cars as they entered service with N&W after being sold off from the Pennsylvania Railroad fleet. As the original description notes, older PRR P-54 cars were sold to other railroads from time to time, and the Norfolk & Western was among the recipients.

The Pennsylvania Railroad began building P-54 commuter cars around 1908, continuing production into the 1930s. Originally designed to run behind steam engines, these cars also ran behind electric and diesel locomotives across their long service lives. When PRR began electrifying the Northeast Corridor in 1915, similar plans gave rise to the famous MuP-54 powered MU cars — but the non-electrified P-54 coaches continued hauling passengers on steam and diesel-powered routes. The car's distinctive end "porthole" windows are faithfully reproduced on this model.

Con-Cor's HO scale model is built from the 65-foot prototype and runs easily on 18-inch radius curves — no need for the 24–26-inch minimum required by full 85-foot passenger cars from other manufacturers.

Con-Cor HO Scale MUmP54 – Long Island Rail Road Tichy Scheme

Powered Coach w/White Window Stripe – Car #1505

Prototype History

The MUmP54 (Multiple Unit motor Passenger car, 54 feet) is one of the most iconic electric multiple-unit cars ever operated on the northeastern railroads. Originally built for the Pennsylvania Railroad beginning in 1910 and continuing through the 1930s, these sturdy cars served commuters for decades across the PRR's electrified territory. Many examples were later inherited by Penn Central and eventually found their way into service with the Long Island Rail Road and SEPTA into the early 1970s, making them a staple of the East Coast commuter rail scene.

The Long Island Rail Road operated MUmP54 cars in the classic Tichy Scheme — a striking paint arrangement with a distinctive white window stripe that became synonymous with LIRR commuter service. Car #1505 represents this historical livery in faithful HO scale detail.

Features

• Accurate dimensioning per Pennsylvania Railroad prototype plans
• Complete underbody details with many individual pieces
• RP-25 metal wheelsets
• Working knuckle couplers

Atlas Trainman HO 68' flat car in Union Pacific maintenance-of-way (MOW) green and white, road number 915832.

About the Prototype

Railroads keep a fleet of company-service cars that never haul paying freight. Their job is maintaining the railroad itself. Union Pacific's maintenance-of-way flats, numbered in the 900000 series, carry rail, crossties, track panels, bridge timbers and work equipment out to track gangs across the system.

Long, plain-deck flats like this 68' car are ideal for those loads. A string of them in MOW paint makes a great work train behind an older road switcher, or a spot on a siding next to a tie pile.

Features

• Union Pacific MOW #915832 – green with white lettering
• Detailed 68' flat car body and underframe
• Knuckle couplers; ready to run

Specs

• Scale: HO (1:87)
• Manufacturer: Atlas Model Railroad (Trainman series)
