    That Pac Man scheme was much better that this.

    Compared to "Pac Man", this seems a bit 'plain'- which is the only descriptive coming into mind here.

    Looks like it got beaten up in a back alley somewhere!:eek:

    In its day, it was a handsome-looking C424. It escaped being rebuilt as a control cab, too.

    While waiting for the clouds to clear and show the Northern Lights, the signals at CP 10.6 glow red following the passage of a WB grain train.

    Will have to photo the yard at Lange Stegmann Fertilizer in St. Louis. They load HUNDRDS of rail cars with fertilizer for distance departures. I have seen MoPAC, Southern, Rock Island and a few Others in the mixes still used heavily.

    I think the all red with white lettering CP scheme is very attractive, especially on an SD45.

    The Southern Mikado is also very beautiful.

    Steam? I can play too!
    GN 3059 is stuffed and mounted at Williston, ND. Don't ask me why there's an NP caboose trailing.

    Old #90 at Garibaldi, Oregon. Not sure of the original owner, hoping someone knows the railroad who first owned her......

    It was bought from Baldwin in 1926 by the Polson Logging Company. It became Rayonier Logging #90 when Polson got bought out.

    Yup. My maternal grandfather went to school with Polson offspring. Later worked for that logger.
