    I finally get to play! I haven't been out railfanning much this year, but have been able to the last couple of weekends. Here's one from Friday -- a brand spankin' new KCS de Mexico ES44AC (2 actually, the primer unit is KCS also) on the point of an NS manifest takes on fuel at Danville, KY, before continuing it's trip south through the 'Rathole'.

    Hemi -

    We have a few GEez running around but the weather has not been the best for getting a good picture. I'll see what tomorrow brings. Maybe I can get a last minute entry.

    Mikado, your shot is AWOL.....

    Ben,
    Weather is a minor problem. I have been out in nasty weather and gotten nice shots. The skies need not be clear for a neat picture! :) Heck, snow, rain and fog makes great shots--they block out the background trash!

    Thanks. The paint on the H1s seems to hold up better than most on these units. The pink and silver Warbonnets look the worst.
