    I spent yesterday prepping to do some Scout training and today giving that training so was beat and forgot my solemn duties here.

    Let's get this place steamed up with Temiskaming & Northern Ontario 503:


    Behind that is one of those ex-Northlander Dutch (Werkspoor) power cars used with the former Trans-Europe Express trainsets bought used (20 years old!) in 1977. Those power cars eventually started showing their age, and got replaced with modified FP7s - which worked very well despite being older than the Dutch units!

    An oldie from 20 years ago. A BNSF train holds north of Tower 17 in Rosenberg while a UP train hits the diamond on the Sunset Route.

    "Bending the Iron"
    From above Tunnel 14, continuous welded rail grinds west through Old Tunnel 17, the South Draw horseshoe and Tunnel 16.. This is one of the hardest to reach photo vantage points on the Front Range.

    What could have been taken some 40 years ago, but not. I caught this Western Pacific FMC covered hopper at a Foster Farms mill just south of Fresno, Ca.
