    Wow. That is quite a save! But proves once again what can be done, if people get together and just do it!

    Taken on the same day last week as my helper photo a few posts back, CSX Q693 rolls past on former ACL track at Enoree, SC.

    SD60s are getting scarce around here. How about in Canada?

    CN maintains its fleet of 60 or so SD60Fs, and they get around, even if they're getting a bit long in the tooth.

    And back in 2012-2013, they bought 90 standard-cab SD60s like the one above, all former Oakway/GMTX leasers.

    Maybe that's where all your SD60s went - us crafty Canucks kidnapped them! :ROFLMAO:

    Found SD75M 253 in Auburn Yard yesterday, with a SB "Stinky". Looks like BNSF is getting these repainted into a simplified scheme with no silver frame/trucks??

    I have in the past wondered when this would happen.

    I like it, cleaner and simpler than the complicated newer schemes, and the the silver frame and trucks just gets filthy anyway!!;)

    That's the locomotive that was seen in the Petticoat Junction TV show I think.

    Lotsa curves, you bet
    Even more, when you get
    To the junction

    That's the one, a real movie star. On this day there were even curves in the cab with a young lady firing the locomotive.

    A CSX freight hits the diamond at Chester, SC on 07/08/2000, though with the colorful mix of UP and BN power, you'd never have guessed it. CSX (SAL) and NS (SOU) cross here. Sorry about the old low-rez scan. o_O One of these days I'm going to buy a decent scanner.

    Taken 10/07/2017 was this CSX freight at Clinton, SC with about a dozen covered hoppers fresh out of the box. This was joint SCL/CN&L track.

    Random photo from deep in my collection. A friend took it somewhere in northern California or Oregon back in about 1995s. I don't recall exactly where.

    It looks like a nice mix of power somewhere under all that grime...
