    Wilsonville Oregon in 2010, TriMET took some time readying these RDCs for backup service.

    No catfish in the water were biting but at least caught 2 on the bridge. Chattanooga TN. 2013 I think.

    "No Catfish were biting, but caught 2 Catfish on the bridge" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::D

    No sun yesterday, and pouring rain most of the day, so I went out in search of rain shots.

    "Rain or Shine"
    A well-powered high-priority intermodal (likely a Q or Z symbol) charges upgrade west out of Minot in a downpour.

    "CP East at Soo Tower"
    An eastbound CP manifest and intermodal train clatters across the diamonds at Soo Tower interlocking and scares up a group of seagulls.

    And one of my favorite shots of the day. After I had gotten my shot and starting walking back to the truck, the engineer tooted his horn (no grade crossings for 2 miles), and a friendly crewman climbed half out his window to wave at me!

    "Gray Skies Over Gassman"
    A westbound manifest with a heavy block of structural steel climbs high over the steel trestle.

    Seems as though those in the river might be easier to cook up, a little bit less crunchy to chew than those atop the bridge....

    The ones found in the road after a heavy rain are OK though.

    Caught this crew change last week on a rainy day. Has an interesting NS unit, an SD70M-2, I think. PIC_0825.JPG PIC_0827.JPG

    I stand corrected. It is still a unique unit and kinda neat looking!
