About 3 years ago at golden hour, I bagged a pair of Geeps at Niobe, ND's elevator: After the crew made its pickup, it rebuilt and air tested its train, they proceeded east (south), and I caught it at Kenaston, ND when the sun went behind the clouds, and grabbed this silhouette: And I swung around, dialed in new settings for a different exposure, then fired this shot of the train crossing a century-old wood trestle, the signature of the Northgate Branch.
Actually, the two container chassis are right side up and mounded in a purpose built frame that allows the whole unit to be treated like a container. Moved, loaded and fastened to other standard containers with twist locks.
Ruh-roh, Raggy! I can see them, but there was a time a few years ago that I started having trouble with images uploaded to Rail Images. I stopped uploading there due to it. Here's the ones that should have posted.

Not the Atlantic Coast Line but the Atlantic Shore Line freight motor 100 at the Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine, July 23, 2023.
I dunno know about you all, but I can smell this pic! The old journal grease, paint, old creosote ties, that scent of steam if there's an old loco in there, etc!! Been up to the Mount Rainier Scenic RR in the past in the loco shed, beautiful smells to remember! Being around the old derelict equipment up at Snoqualmie Valley RR has those wonderful smells as well! Is it just me??
Nope! I still remember the odor of newly installed creosote ties in the sun. The subtle aroma of Alco soot and hot grease, accompanied by the delightful gurgle of an idling 251 engine. Takes me back to the bench in front of the station where I spent most of my school lunch hours in 2nd year of high school. A wood-burning steam engine takes me back to summertime camping with my folks, back in the 1970s, sitting around the evening campfire. Amazing how such smells, which some would consider noxious, can trigger warm memories in us. I'll take that!
