Happy New Year!! The first day of the new year was productive for me. I went out to bag Amtrak and see what else was hanging around the Magic City, and telesmashed this pair of SDs simmering quietly near the CPKC yard office at first light. Flipping around 180 degrees, we get the glinty fresh yard; Soo 141, a locally assigned shoving platform (caboose) soaks up the sun's rays at the end of the cut:
My last shots from 2023 were of an eastbound coal train on December 30th in Auburn GA. It was cloudy and the light was bad but ya take what ya can get sometimes.
From 04/11/1988 at the former NYC yard in Dickinson, WV, CR SD-50s and others take a break. What happened to clean locomotives?
ESPN's KH03 is travelling the NS siding in Sinking Spring, PA, this afternoon, returning to the former Reading R&C branch. 1802 is ex-NYS&W, and has been soldiering on for 60 years.
