    It was eventually gobbled up by KCS, which in turn is now part of CPKC. Now it's the Counce Branch out of Corinth, off the CPKC.

    Wow... that bugger is a shock to the eyes at 3:21 a.m!:eek:

    Though it looks good against that pristine blue sky.:cool:

    On the other hand, it seems to have scared my headache away!:D

    This morning's NS 15R running 16 hours late at Killian, SC. I was pleased to be able to photograph this train in morning light. It also sported UP 7493 working DPU on the rear.

    Caught the second CSX Heritage unit in Waterloo, IA after running second out on U703. It’s supposed to lead an eastbound loaded ethanol train Friday from the Iowa Northern to Chicago.

    20 April 2024, 12:15 pm. Amtrak P42 #203 gracing us with its presence at Alexandria, VA heading north. Had to shoot it from inside the blue line metro-thought the peeling paint was an interesting weathered effect

    VTR runs over the old Rutland.

    I once rode part of that line, between Riverside/Bellows Falls and Chester, when Steamtown was running excursions over what was then the Green Mountain RR.

    Nice to see a CN track maintenance car. I see a lot of CN on the lines that run through here. It's nice to see stuff from central USA. I've been in eastern Wisconsin most of my 74 years.

    Big domes on the Royal Gorge RR. I believe this one was built for the Milwaukee Road.

    From exactly 31 years ago today on 04/23/1993 at Montgomery, AL is CSX SD-40-2 8201. CSX's "Bright Future" paint scheme was attractive and I wish they'd have kept on with it. The unit was originally LN 3573 and is now SD-40-3 4039, a graduate of CSX's Huntington (WV) Shop.

    Ex-MILW Super Dome #56. As I recall, built for the 1952 version of the Olympian Hiawatha.
