    OK, missed the wheels. And don't get me wrong. Those locos look great. A wonderful continuation of the old solid blue with yellow lettering B&O scheme. I was just kidding, anyway.

    Had lunch across the street from this infamous 11'8" railroad bridge in Durham, North Carolina today. No trains and no high clearance trucks obliged me by making the scene while I was there. Rats!

    So, I will have to just provide this for your viewing pleasure.

    What a way to wrap up a day of railfanning on the CP Marquette Sub by catching a northbound CP B39 passing by the Potter’s Mill Restaurant, Bed and Breakfast in Bellevue, IA.

    Always wanted to get a train by this and finally worked out.

    Great photo, Buddy. I especially like the re-purposed building. What was its former function?

    Nice conversion. Pleasantly inviting as a B&B and restaurant.

    The heavyweight SP train number 52 before it became the San Juaquin Daylight. The P4 pacific was rebuilt from a P1.

    Was heading home on last week and saw this almost hit. The smoke from the trailer tires is what got my attention! The trucker skidded to a stop just in time for this really short train to get just by!
