Thanks! One of those you had to do a double take and rub your eyes to make sure you were seeing what you think your seeing!!
Recycling an oldie, but goodie. SD45s and 70ACes shove hard on a westbound Laurel-Missoula at Birdseye, MT (2006/2007 photo?):
A little Santa Fe heritage for you fans of the Warbonnets...... And yes, these were taken today at South Seattle!! 3/4 miles apart, in three separate consists! Nice to see these rolling along after all these years.
And you got two consecutive units, the 679 and the 680. I wonder if these ever come east? I'd flip out.

Possibly D'OH!!!!! I'm always amazed at those really old photos of wrecks - everyone around gets into their Sunday best and climbs atop the wreckage - even into the cab - to have their picture taken... Not much has changed since then... now it's selfies with cellphones, but no Sunday best...
That was on the Houston East & West Texas Railway, sometimes called Hell Either Way Taken. It was narrow gauge until converted to standard in 1894. It came under control of the Southern Pacific and was eventually merged into the T&NO.
Looks like an ex-Belt Railway of Chicago, and it has it's original "Golden Glow" headlight, with those ditchlights-a span of about 70 years between those two styles!! And, is that an ex-SP Tunnel Motor in front of it?
