Hello everyone! Fall is here, which means it's time for the fall colors! Should hopefully start seeing more of them soon. Here's the picks for the week. hoyden on the C&TS badlandnp with snow (?!) LocoHorn with a BNSF geep co_riff in WV BuddyBurton with some backwards running Mike VE2TRV with some more CN steam YoHo with some Metra action Hardcoaler with some older commuter action and r_i_straw with some UP Es
Fine picks this week, but I do have to register a complaint with badlandnp about his use of the four-letter S-word... Cumbres & Toltec 489 is one sweet machine!
Very nice work, everyone. Ken, I just read somewhere that the UP E's have not been out on the road for quite some time.
When the E units run they aren't as big a deal as a steamer. I know they were used for the College Words Series in Omaha in June, 2015 and Cheyenne Frontier Days in July, 2015. This photo of UP 949 on RailPictures is dated this year, May 19, 2016: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/577207/
Snow, Snow, Snow! I even like the White Christmas song.......Let it Snow! And, I even like the actual, real live white stuff! Yes, I know that some think it is a disease or something........ Thanks for the pick this week! And for the C&S loco. I had missed that elsewhere....sure would like to go see those loco's working....
For you, it seems to be more of a fetish... My list of chilled parts of my anatomy is somewhat longer...
The E's just seem to bring back a time when steam was king but was moving over for DE. Melancholy days .... thanks for posting 'em!
