    On 26 March 22, the historic, GN and city of Minot-built, Anne Street footbridge basks in the glow of blue hour as sunrise looms near.

    Thanks for starting us off with a beautiful sunrise Hemi! That all duces shot is cool!

    That B&O dome would have looked right at home on many of the NS excursion consist that the 611 pulled. Both excellent shots Boxcab and Hardcoaler!

    My contribution this week is this NKP unit i caught rolling through Columbia SC on Wednesday April 13, 2022. Was a totally unexpected surprise to me when I came across it.

    Whoa, cool! (y) I'd have probably crashed the car. The NKP looks to have survived the past decade well, with none of the chipped paint evident as seen with some others.

    Two distinctive MRL units, 4404 is self explanatory. 265 used to be the 'Operation Lifesaver' unit.

    I attended a Free-Mo meet this weekend and caught this set of power making some local moves. I believe 1066 is based out of Bloomington, IL, as I think I have seen it before.

    Who doesn’t like a matching set of GP60s? Even with UP patches, SP Speed Lettering still looks good.

    They ran out of paint while patching 1066.

    Sure looks sweet in SP colors.:)

    Thanks for posting! My grandfather worked for NKP after he came back from Korea and Japan and he retired from NS. One day I hope to see 8100 in person. I was able to get the BLI n scale version-also hoping one day to get the FVM version.
