    We're packing up for a long weekend down in SoCal, so no time for a real post, but I don't want to stop you all.

    An empty oil train in the hole next to the small airport along the road where I ride my bike. Probably unloaded at a refinery in Texas City and now waiting to head north on the BNSF Galveston Sub.

    Tax time, or would you rather have an appointment here...:


    This is how the traveling dentist got around to the remote communities along the northern lines of the Canadian Northern (later Canadian National) to serve (and terrorize :eek:) the people living in the villages along those lines. This was home and office (fully equipped dental clinic) for the dentist, originally a 12-1 sleeper built by Barney & Smith of Dayton, Ohio back in June of 1913 for Canadian Northern. It was retired by CN in 1980.

    That's a lot of pulled teeth.:D

    NS still brings coal trains up the Kanawha River Railroads row. This is about 15 miles south of Point Pleasant,WV along the Kanawha River.

    I made a comment under the photo by mistake....;That would make an outstanding scene on a layout.

    Is that a vehicle crossing beside the signal? Looks like it would be a teeth rattler.

    No, that is just a shadow of a fly-over coming off the bridge over the Kansas River at Santa Fe Junction.

    Well hey! I actually caught sight of these up in Carroll yesterday evening. I don't get to see trains often. I could hear them blaring their horns and I got to the best crossing quick.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Got this today, view from a co-contractors front porch! Yes, I am a little jealous! PIC_0186.JPG
    And Transco in Miles City has their own switch loco of obvious heritage! PIC_0183 (1).JPG
