The "Borg" of the North...visits Vegas

This CN unit was part of a westbound Union Pacific autotrain tied down for the moment at Vegas, awaiting a crew change.



the full train...taken from the other side of the tracks, looking north toward downtown Vegas

 

Nice assortment of power (and colors)!

 

mike i love the pics, i will be back in vegas in november for the fire-rescue international show at the vegas convention center, i need to get out and do some railfanning out there i seems to me. will be a packed week between firehouse hopping and trains!!!!!!!! didn't realize there was this rails around vegas, guess next time i need to keep my eyes away from the strip for a little while.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

Atleast they keep the flag on the side washed!

 

More great shots Mike.

Wouldn´t mind seeing more of the northern Borg units around Atlanta and less of the yellow borg.

 

Its a rent-a-wreck from GATX...an SD40-2, according to RRPictsarchives...its an ex MP 3167 built in 1975

 

Was in Vegas in Oct for convention, watched the tracks from my Circus Circus room. Lots of action when I had the time.

 

One of these! SD40-2 GATX Leasing.
It's in my Railimages Album.
