Let's see those big several unit lashups or those that are unique. How about this Espee freight lashup that wouldn't qualify because of time, of course.

MU? Whats this mean?

[campp]

MU? Whats this mean?

Multiple Unit or Multiple Unit Control (as in multiple engines lashed up).

Flash, did you kick the Colonel out of his job? :)

[Flash Blackman]

Flash, did you kick the Colonel out of his job? :)I certainly did not. In fact, I just wrote him about all the things I had been doing to his contest business. Hope he won't yell at me much. He is on a business trip about his 1:1 railroad job and will be back Friday PM.

NSFan14:

Time to catch a 111 or two. He always has a bundle of power with him. ;)

[MRL]

This should be interesting!

Hmm......I foresee another trip to shoot DGNO power or a run to Ray Yard to see what junk UP's running on the Choctaw Sub.

Trio of EMD rent-a-wrecks, none lettered for DNGO or TNER. Not an unusual thing to see a dog's-breakfast lashup on a shortline (or a Class 1)

[JKD]

Here's mine. You tell me.... who's train is this?

Uhm, CSX??
Based on your location, I'd say UP....;)

A dog's breakfast of power crowds the diesel house tracks in Great Falls, under early morning light:

Actually, this one is a BNSF northbound. Good guess though... I see tons of UP.

[HemiAdda2d]

I just realized if it was UP, it would have to be a UP leader, for the cab signals... Doh!:p

[MRL]

Wellp I'm out of the contest, my truck broke down, the starter went ka put!:tb-frown:

Here's my submission. M U Cable and hoses on Norfolk Southern engine 8673. Note the empty plug for dummies.http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/data/520/thumbs/NS_train_112_engine_8673_5-31-08.jpg (http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/showphoto.php/photo/88239/ppuser/7081) Does this mean they have some workers with low IQs?

An 8 unit lash up on right. Hidden by center unit, that showed up at the wrong time!

[Colonel]

Excellent entries everyone, the poll has been opened

[Grey One]

Drats - I could have played this time with my P42s + AIM-7.
Oh well, I can still vote. :)

I am there with you. My photo was pulling away when I seen it, but I was unable to stop the motorcycle, get off, find the camra, get it out of the case.......:tb-wacky:

[Flash Blackman]

We're going to have to ban NSFan14 from taking pictures on odd numbered days...or something. That guy gets better and better! Hope he doesn't take up modeling photos. :D

[NSFan14]

LOL Well thanks for the kind comment.

Watch Out! He'll bring his camera to the N Scale convention.

[Colonel]
