    They're worried about the visual appeal... :rolleyes:

    The same people think nothing of the sort when seeing - and barely noticing - trucks loaded with propane, gasoline, and other nasty stuff going through their neighborhoods. But empty tank cars on inactive track... You'd believe they have just spotted a nuke sitting there...:eek:

    I like the way they kept the most recognizable features of the source GP30s - those DB blisters.

    You are certainly getting some serious railfanning time. Are you solo? Or taking part in a tour?

    Interesting view you have. Seems to be plenty of action. Is there any freight traffic? Or is this all passenger territory?

    EJ&E big hooks at Barrington, IL in early 1975 (I think) after a BN unit train split the switch at the south end of the siding.
