New Years Eve 2010. Having spent Christmas with my mom in San Diego which I had left a scant 11 months earlier, I took the Coast Starlight home to Portland. The Marine Layer had rolled in as we climbed the Cuesta Grade and I glanced out to see the front of the train round the horseshoe.
The #3, Southwest Chief heading across the desert in Eastern California on the BNSF Transcon. One of the Amtrak locomotives died in New Mexico so a BNSF freight engine was added in Albuquerque. A BNSF freight is waiting in a siding for the meet. July 7, 2014.
Taken 02/24/2017, CSX Q463 passes by a new signal on the former SAL main near Lugoff, SC. As a result of CSX's closure of humping operations at Hamlet, NC, Q463 no longer runs on this route.

Cannot take credit for this picture, found it on the web (http://trains-and-locomotives.wikia.com/wiki/EMD_SD90MAC )I do have a shot, but this shows the difference better. Note this true SD90MAC which has an angled roof line over the prime mover(where the rust is) very much like the SD70ACe has. SD9043s such as the one co_riff caught have a full roof across the prime mover
