    I was in Southern California last week and was able to get a nice set of shots. One group was at Cajon Pass, where I was able to get some top down shots that might help you guys on your next weathering project.
    The whole gallery (350+ pics) is: HERE

    Here are some samples:

    What, no steam???? Oops, wrong century. Hey, great photos, though. Will be a big help for all who weather, thanks.

    Somewhow , when out and about I never really think about this viewpoint. But then many places it is not easy to be up above. I have very few such photos:

    They might have done some work on the roof sheets, then given it a quick coat of spray can galvanizing. As I recall them, roof sheets are just dip galvanized, so it wears off fairly easily.

    Where's the stinking "Like" button... :)

    Thanks for sharing Karl and you are spot on with the lack of overhead shots. I really appreciate your work!

    Looks like UP 6362 is my next project. I've been looking for a loco to try out the new Shapeway PTC antennae array stands on.

    Cheers,
    Brian
