Back to the wayback machine for me... In April 2005, a westbound North Yard-Roper (SLC) manifest exits Tunnel 7 in heavy flock: In July 2021, a San Luis & Rio Grande freight returns to Alamosa, CO, at first light. Led by a pair of ex-CSX SD70Ms, the train has just passed Occidental siding. Sleeping in the truck on the side of County Road 440 netted this view:
A former Grand Trunk Geep working the yard in Jackson MS on Jan. 17, 2024. I think I have a picture of this unit back when it was still in GT paint but would take more time to locate it than I have right now.
From August 1983 at the Rice Yard hump in Waycross, GA. Those are SCL H-15s, former SAL SDP-35s modified for hump service. A small group of us were guests of the SCL that day. It was hard work, but somebody had to do it.
Valentine's Day 2024 dawned with a fresh coat of snow at Wyo JCT. NS 11N was running with light power. KHO3 was led by GP18 1802 solo, long-hood forward.
I love those "golden oldie" shots! That's beautiful! For a second though, my caffeine-deprived brain thought it was a very good model... I had to check if I was in the right thread! A golden oldie GP38-2 still working at it in 2024! It still has the old blower bulge, so it's before '82 or so. A real oldie! A nice variety in paint schemes, engines and rolling stock. Some SCL, some Family Lines, and even an ACL boxcar. Nice! Nice countryside! The only way to see it... Though at this moment, if one is standing on top of the train, I have one one piece of advice: DUCK!!! The other photos are great too. Thanks to all for taking the photos - keep up the great work!
