    "Do not hump!"
    Logan, ND:
    Yes, I walked around it to see if it said anything else, but nope, just "R/W." Does this mean the right of way limit?

    I always like riding in dome cars ever since my first experience in 1961 riding in a dome on the Great Northern Western Star from Seattle to Minneapolis, St. Paul. However, sometimes I just have to pretend.:whistle:

    The rest of the rack was too graffiti'd up, so I only shot the logo.

    From 04/01/1989, CNW 132638 at Attalla, AL. Build date is hard to see, but it appears to be '74, '76 or '78. Interesting ends on this car, perhaps engineered for extra bulkhead strength.

    I can just imagine complaining about that rig, and being told "It'll be alright".

    The picture doesn't do it enough justice, I swear it looked like somebody plopped another gon body down that just happened to fit inside the original. NS 10K eastbound at Wyo JCT, Sunday, 03/06/22. DSC02308.JPG
