Random Railfan Prototype Photos For All

In February, 1992 I found these two GP 38-2s switching the old Mopac yard in Sugar Land.

 

A really grungy Rio Grande tunnel motor in the yard at Hearne, Texas in June of 1996.

 

Aah, the cinder block era. Real Grime, rather than Rio Grande.

 

Back in the late 90s there was an outfit called Seattle Film Works who sold rolls of 35mm film that were some 35mm movie film that had been cut to length and re-spooled into 35mm still camera canisters. It required ECN-2 processing so they had to develop it. You were therefor obligated to mail the film in for them to develop because no one else would touch it. It was still a little less expensive than Kodak so I used it for a while. Well, you got what you paid for. It was not as sharp a grain and the colors were kind of weird. Anyway, in June of 2001 the BNSF borrowed the Frisco 1522 to pull their employee special through Texas and that was what I had loaded in my camera at the time.

Codeline. Foxholm, ND on CP. Who's train is this anyways?

Is it a Union Soo Canada RR train?

 

Taking down the tent. Still need to apply the reflective tape along the bottom.

 

Sweet!

 

Finished. Now we get to rebuild the interior as the leaky windows and roof have been repaired.
