Happy Friday. Yard was pretty spare again this week, got the wife on board for me taking a mental health day to just go train watching. Just gotta figure out when. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
"Deuces Wild" In what might be my first successful pan shot (although not technically a fully blurred background), a westbound Ross Local charges out of Minot, just past the Soo Tower interlocking behind a veteran SD40-2. The hogger has his feet kicked up and looks rather comfy in the warm cab...
Made a few minutes to watch a couple of eastbounds go over the hump out of town yesterday. First was this train full of beat up hoppers, Then this coal load.
An MEC U-25 leads D&H units at East Deerfield, MA in July 1983. The 234 is a former Rock Island unit and retains its Rock Island number.
I just checked the numbers on the ten Gensets that I saw in a dead line a few weeks ago to see if those two were there. Nope, just a lot of classmates.
From just shy of forty years ago. One of these days I will re-scan this stuff. It is early 1981 and these are just a few of the BN F units already going to scrap. Tacoma, Washington. And no, this is NOT the Simon & Sons facility, as way too many misidentify it!
I really can't bring myself to like this. It's just too sad. At one time, I didn't care what happened to any disease. Over the years I've become fond of them- especially the first generation and in particular BL2's and F's, but time inevitably marches on.
Well, never been to Iowa. Although I wish it had possible to do use a time machine and see some depots, pre-merger stuff, etc.
Dang, Dad and I used to go down there on the weekends sometimes! One time, there was a whole string of UP U-boats they recently got back from the Rock Island, painted them back in UP colors, then scrapped them!! I got pics somewhere.....
I'll be modeling this station which is a 15 minute walk from my home in the Roslindale 'borough' of Boston, MA. Toward the bottom right is the opening to a pedestrian tunnel.
