    Hmmm... A week in Cheyenne, a new camera, the hotel is right next to MP 511 on the grade to Sherman Hill, and a Moffat Route trip is in store... I should be able to shoot something blue!;)

    Thanks! I've seen old BN green on trains out here, and some red and silver superfleet stuff... just happened that last night that set of yellow and blue went by. Couldn't have happened at a better time either. :D

    Here's my submission - BEER RUN!
    NSFan14 and Old Reliable have just taken photos of the engines on NS train #111 rolling through Buechel, Ky. when several carloads of Coors Beer pass by.
    Hey, they both are wearing blue aren't they?

    You'd get more style points if it the beer was Pabst Blue Ribbon! But, Coors does make "Blue Moon" so maybe you should try that angle.

    Yikes, I thought I did this correctly. How come it is so small? Get out your magnifiers. Cheers, Jim CCRR
