    Hi guys, sorry I'm so late with this. Spent yesterday at the Dickens Fair in San Francisco and it slipped my mind,


    A single GEVO waits on the valley sub for an east bound stack getting ready to tackle Donner.

    That turned out really well, looks like one very long rack.

    While I was waiting for my pilot driver, I had time to snap a few pics. Sometimes it just gets distracting being around the tracks all the time! PIC_0127.JPG PIC_0125.JPG

    Interesting photo angle. Feels like soaring high above the camera.

    HO & N.
    Athearn makes the Ford C model truck would just have to adjust frame length and add short flat bed.

    They are SD40-2/SD40M-2 guts in SD45 car bodies. Genesee & Wyoming did similar with recent additions to the Maryland Midland fleet

    She is a fun little truck! 361 truck enhine with a split shift 10 speed. It has been a reliable rig for a few years now, having nhad it for about 7 years. This year she has cost me though! The fan launched itself through the radiator, so it has a new custom radiator with electric fans. New steer tires, new clutch and new radiator expansion tank! But, my Fri-Sat trailer move went well!

    Yup, she;s a fun old truck!

    You bet that's a cool old truck! I remember those buggers from back when I was a kid.

    Kinda neat how the headlights and grill make a face on the front end.

    I make similar faces when I see other drivers being thoughtless around the trailer houses being moved! :mad::confused::eek:

    Caught this SB UP train over the Thanksgiving holiday in Turlock, Ca. It even had an old steel Western Pacific wood chip car, but I wasn't fast enough to get a photo of it.

    Ya'll ready for winter??

    I took this at Scenic, Wa of a WB BNSF stacker exiting the 7.79 mile Cascade tunnel over Stevens Pass 3 years ago. Haven't seen much snow like this for a few seasons now, maybe this year will bring a good snow!!
