    September 17, 2007 in Eagle Lake, Texas. White is such a lovely color to paint railroad locomotives.

    Got another old scanned shot this week, something really unusual this time- a diesel shot. Sometime in the late 90s, I caught this pair of somewhat workworn GTW diesels in the hole on the west side of Emmett, MI. Both were ex-DT&I units, GP40 6400 and GP38AC 6220. The lead unit was not the only GTW power to carry the number 6400, the other having been streamlined U4b 4-8-4 6400.

    "Catching Some Zees"

    An eastbound Z-train is backlit in this hasty grab shot, at the wrong time of day. This is a better shot in the morning.

    Hemi - the shadows add drama, which is good.

    Overcast skies here this morning, but here they are switching away... PIC_0028.JPG

    On a power company siding in San Antonio on September 2, 2007. Could use a little work I suppose.

    Just like what the Soo did for their new scheme, after their 1961 mergers. In no time that looked awful, but they stuck with it for way too long anyhow. :confused:
