Peirce, cool shot. Lenny, COLD shot! Brrrrr. 4449 meets a BNSF freight near Lind, WA, October 2004 in her positioning move to Sandpoint, ID for "Steam to Montana II" excursion.
Excellent shots ya'all. Mine is not so glamorous. Today was the first time in a long time that the sun was out however, so I had to try for a shot. NS 111 train eastbound headed to cross the very, very high Ohio River to the Louisville yard. 01/15/05
Hey redrock this one is for you from today 2-13-04. you might have to right click and choose show picture.I do.
Here's one from Friday, the 11th: UP general merchandise heads west outta Cheyenne on #3 track, splitting the signals just west of the I-25 overpass:
TPWMAN nice photo man! Oh to be back in my old stompin' grounds. Nice touch catching an intermodal, one of my favorite trains. Nice signal shot Hemi!
Caught this on the end of a coal drag in Oklahoma...I cant believe they use helpers there between McAlestor and Big Cabin, forgot the hwy #. This guy was at St Genevieve, Mo...real easy to chase him all the way to Parryville. Missed the perfect shot by a hundreth of a second, stinking shutter speed...lol...I hate autofocus sometimes. Nice thing too, there was a slow order through St Gen...gotta love scanners
I have used this one before, but it is a favorite of Alco fans. Here are three of them in 1:1. Left to right: RS-1, RSC-2, RS-3m
One for the diesel folk: Ridgewood Park, NJ march/2004 One for the steam folk: Strasburg, Pa. June/2004 Russ
This one snuck up on me a week or so ago in Carrollton, Texas while at the park with the kids. I had to run to get the shot, so it's not so great. And there's one on a different day that didn't sneak up at the same bridge.
Yep, Alan, it would. I'll get some more photos of it next time I'm near there, and maybe we can start a "look at this bridge" thread.
An unlikely switcher, and a new lease on life for the UP 844--major overhaul, and fresh paint job (headed to main shop building for lettering and finishing touches):
