    Happy New Year.

    The Local power in Roseville is currently a pair of GP40-2s (one pre 76, the other 76-83 vintage)
    As twilight falls on the first day of the new year, work levels return to normal in the yard and the engines are fired up.

    Here is an old one from about 1990. Back when the SP was still SP.

    Yeah, the Rio Grande style speed lettering is quite evident in the photo.

    You bet! And I spy a Dash 7 in the upper background.

    And the lighting and exposure on that Roseville shot is very nice.

    Some interesting telephoto effects. Makes that siding look really sad, and the positive camber in those cars very obvious.

    That siding looks like Mike's bakery line! ;)

    See those cabinets on the ends of the transformers? I build the instruments that test those buggers.

    Here are some scruffy looking covered hoppers sitting in the yard in Sugar Land.

    Interesting how UP just lettered over the rust. That would be cool to model - weather it then letter it!:cool:
