    Nice Death Star sighting! Other than the spartan cabbed SD70s in the Chicago-twin ports area, these are getting rare.

    Not sure if I shared this, but UP leading on BNSF in a state UP doesn't serve, ND:

    Here is a picture of a Milwaukee Road E6 under construction. It was posted on the io. Milwaukee Road group.

    Oops, that ended up being larger than I thought it would be.

    A shame for these to be disappearing. Somehow they have more visual appeal for me than the Southern Ry/NS Corp scheme.

    I also see what I think is NS 1065, the Savannah & Atlanta heritage unit. (y) You captured quite the diversified consist there!

    Especially when viewed from the lead dome of the pre-Amtrak CONO. I guessed our closing speed was more than 120 mph. There was a definite whoomph as we passed.

    I certainly did! Tuxedo was a bit tattered, but still classy.

    On a different day, I bagged a westbound grain train on CP at the Railroad Museum of Minot. The head end was so grimy, I processed in monochrome. The pole shadow was terrible in placement, but my position didn't help. The museum has a bay window with a mannequin operator. I couldn't help but include it.

    The northbound Silver Star running 6-1/2 hours late in this morning's overcast on the former SAL at Pontiac, SC. Lead P42DC #14 is 26 years old and looking pretty ratty.
