@HigglyTH Not all of us can draw fast, and that's okay. If anything, it can help get some of the fine details draw, like an easter egg in the background or really detailed fur for example!
The Bell is the first locomotive in our America’s 250 series to roll out of Juniata! 🚂🔔🇺🇸
1776 isn’t just a number. It’s the beginning of America’s story.
This engine pays tribute to the Liberty Bell, one of our nation’s most enduring symbols of independence.
Did you know our predecessor, the Pennsylvania Railroad, played a pivotal role in transporting the Liberty Bell across the country? This allowed millions to experience a piece of history firsthand.
Now, that legacy is returning to the rails.
