    Yup, I did it, I typed "23" above at first... Old habits die hard...

    Here's one from Minot, taken in Jan 2003, one of my earliest digital photos, taken with a Kodak 2MP camera... An SD60M in as-delivered paint and number, leads a pair of Oakways SD60 lease units on an eastbound grain empty past an old feedlot or something. Everything behind the train is long gone today.

    And my first steam excursion runby is eastbound out of Laramie on Sherman Hill behind UP 3985 at Colores, WY in July 2003:

    A "restored" box car on display at the summit on Boreas Pass in February 2017. It had served some time on the White Pass and Yukon.

    I like the windshields on the new Tier 4 SDs, back to the teardrop shape that was so distinctive of EMD before the rectangles took over.

    They also look more massive, with the extra height over the engine compartment, making the GE's look smaller in comparison.

    Interesting item to find there. That would make me suspect a clandestine ingredient in my canteen...:cautious::ROFLMAO:
