    Great shots Hemi! (y)(y)(y) Love the glint on the train in that first shot. The second shot is a nice look at the new paint scheme. That paint scheme is so much better that the 3 sheets to the wind unit trailing.

    Love that paint scheme, really nice!

    The paint on these now is plain at best, boring.

    They're still running these "cabbages" on them, and only two new Talgos running, while they wait for the rest of the trainsets to arrive. One train set is still Heritage cars with a cabbage and usually an Amtrak engine on the other end!

    FINALLY caught the Operation Lifesaver unit leading the 'Builder, and at first light!! The ambient was -14°F this morning at train time, with a real feel in the mid minus 30s....

    It was a great head end. Only way to make it better is swap that middle unit for the #160 Pepsi can!

    I'd forgotten all about ATK's ill-fated venture into package transportation with its material handling cars. I never realized that they had different types of cars until I saw your picture.

    Those Genesis locomotives are good-looking locomotives.
