    November 2006. I miss the old War Bonnets. Occasionally see a faded "pink" one, but it's just not the same.

    They looked best when brand new. ;)

    Wheel sets looks much better being hauled by rail. (y)

    A few years ago I saw them being hauled on a flatbed semi. :mad:

    Photos from this viewing angle always give a feel of speed. Even if only crawling along.

    South bound from Houston to Galveston on the Texas Limited, a short lived excursion train connecting those points.

    F units still just look so right on a railroad.

    Train - BNSF 6921-IMG_0388.jpg

    Another mystery. Dunno when or where, but it was in my files (might be Moraine OH).

    Russ - Really great shot of the single aspect signals! They are getting rarer!

    All Red at CP Gassman...
    CP Gassman lies just west of its namesake trestle west of Minot,ND. This is a 14mm view with a crazy wide angle of view.

    [​IMG]

    The 18mm view with a kit lens is a bunch darker, and tighter. The easternmost signal is also red.

    [​IMG]

    What a difference the angle of view makes!
