    Missed a shot of a coal drag heading west through the Waverly Yard in Holland today - it's the opening day of Tulip Time and I encountered too much traffic to catch it (I did get a pic of it by the depot being lead by an SD-40). So - here is what I have to offer - a shot looking west towards the yard at the Consumers Power Plant at Port Sheldon Michigan:

    Alright! This is some good stuff! (Tim and Doofus, that's dirty pool making a bonified coal train junkie have to be subjected to such photos!)

    NSFan, that's some really cool rust you got going there! Kinda like "we don't need no stinkin' mainline, we'll just run everything through the yard". Great pic.

    It has been raining this weekend and finally got a brief break in the weather and this is what I got.

    Wow! Lots of great stuff!

    Next time I go on a road trip I may be sending some of you PM's to try and figure out where your respective yard shots were taken!

    I went out and shot a couple of pics at a yard near my house, but they couldn't hold a candle to this weeks submissions. Great photos.
