“It's February 10, 1976, and the Erie-Lackawanna has less than two months to live, at least as a breathing, living railroad. Conrail's birth on April 1 will prove the end of this proud class one. The EL's plans to survive have died and even an attempt to be taken over by the Chessie System has crumbled due to the harsh economic conditions in the east. But here in Griffith, IN life goes on as a pair of GP35's cross Broad Street with a transfer run for the Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern. They'll deliver their train to the J's small yard and return light power, no caboose.”

I swear this is the last of the Fallen Flag stuff I’m going to post. I was just practicing drawing some faces and things got out of hand. All the quotes are from the game.

Red Markets: Fallen Flag – Episode 13

Just One Last Score. Mr. JOLS. It is time for Fallen Flag to seek out Two Banners, a theme park held by a violent cult of archivists. The territory and its resources are invaluable, so Fallen Flag must push the cult out to succeed. Of course, there’s a reason why no one else has wiped out the cult. Their secret weapon may be too much for Fallen Flag to handle, but the die has been cast. Even if…

Erie E-units March 29th 1976 Griffth Ind by Mark LLanuza Via Flickr: “It’s March 29th,1976, a few more days left of the Erie Lackawanna. We saw this eastbound going under I-80 and raced to Griffith at high speeds to get this shot of four E-units crossing Cline Ave. My long-time friend Steve Smedley at the far right in the white shirt was lucky enough to get out of the car in time. This was his first time ever shooting on the real main line of the Erie a few days before it all ended.”

CNW 8704 west in Northlake, Illinois on March 14, 1995. by Eric Via Flickr: “WKJRX with a pair of fairly new C44-9W's (8704,8717) passes Grand Avenue on the very north side of Proviso. This hopper train is crossing over from 2-1 (New Line sub) and will traverse down 30-main to HM then head west on Geneva sub. No one bothered me up here, now forget it!! The CNW style searchlight and station sign are long gone as are the CNW dash 9's. The AWFUL take over by Union Pacific was about one month away.”

Click that link, and you’ll find one of the funniest, saddest, most fist-poundingly awesome rpg recordings you’ll ever hear. I’ve been kinda obsessed with it for the last couple of months. The valiant members of the Fallen Flag Taker Crew deserve a better picture than this, and I’ll make it one day.
