    Sorry guys, it's offensively hot here and allergies to boot, I've been laid up

    Train Festival 2009. I caught Little River 110, to my knowledge the smallest standard gauge Pacific type locomotive ever built, under a somewhat ominous sky just outside Owosso. 110 had travelled to Owosso by truck and was pulling a short trip every hour during the festival.

    A couple SP SD's in Grand Junction CO, 1998-ish. Looks like the 7327 has some rebuilt cooing fans though, the E side sunshade is not there, also the fuel tank sight glass looks to have been welder over.

    Wow. SP sure got every penny out of that paint job on 7327!

    About a decade back. Mission Mountain RR, Columbia Falls, Montana. I have wondered for many years what ever happened to this unit, after leaving the property:

    Wish we could hear the sounds of those six SD40-2's throttling up!
