    I don't get to see much Conrail or UP in North Dakota, so please keep it coming! I do see scattered NS and CSX units fairly frequently as run-thru power on BNSF & CP. Here's one. A westbound manifest passes the construction site to soon erect floodwalls and levees along the Souris River in Minot, ND.

    You also captured a B&O CPL signal there, which is a welcome sight and is something that is now gone or will be soon. :(

    This segment of the IAIS sees 6-8 trains a day(not including the extras).

    I would look for a cornerstone to see if it has a date when it was built on it. Most older buildings will have one.

    Nice detail photos. I know I have failed to photograph more than just a few such things. :(

    I try to catch such things too. SAL bungalow, McBee, SC (pronounced MAC-bee) taken almost exactly five years ago. With the many train curtailments on CSX, I've had no reason to return to see if it's still there. PTC wiped out a lot of old signal infrastructure.

    It detects any equipment that drags off of a rail car.(straps, wheel axles.....etc)
    It then will read out the location of the defect via the radio.

    One of my earliest digital photos. A Fuji MX-700, with 1.5 megapixels. Richmond, IN, circa 1995.
