    Wow. Just a little bit rusty! I wonder if anyone has ever modeled this much corrosion?

    There's quite a few with worse rust than that. Many of the old dogs are rusted right through. Even the famous Maersk SD40-2 has holes in the doors and a case of Great Stuff foam holding the nose together. I'll see if I can dig up some shots.

    That's a C39-8 (no E) trailing, isn't it? Nice!

    NS 8465 resting in the sun before the next trip. Anybody know if this was LMS or Conrail?

    Nothing from inside. I thought I got some of the foam drizzling out of the holes but I must have dumped them. Still looking so don't give up the ship.

    RSD-12. As I recall, the trucks were swapped from retired SD35s in the 80s.

    Think each train in this shot has a bit of blue to it:

    In actuality,the blue engine to the right of the autoracks is a CEFX SD40-2.
