    So,

    This has been sitting out in front of the Roseville shop by the Amtrak Station for a couple of weeks.

    It appears to be a GP20.

    I would concur.

    Next question: What is it doing there?

    Where is the closest Genesee & Wyoming operation in that vicinity? That should be California Northern? Maybe something heading to or moving off from that operation?

    MLW M630 (CP 4563) and C424 (4237) at Exporail museum, June 2013. Those two were in a perfect alignment for this shot.

    It doesn't matter how many times I go, there's always something different to photograph, in a different way.

    Cal northern is the closest, but I'm not aware of them having any GP20s. They are mostly gensets and GP15s now. Sierra has a GP20 that comes up for service every once in a while, but that's still wearing atsf paint. I think some research is in order.

    A hopper? Hop aboard! ;)

    I guess it would be a shipment for Popeye. Was there a tanker full of Olive Oyl in the consist?:cute:

    A pair of shots that I took yesterday. Quite the contrast if you ask me.

    That second one is the best! Looks like there has been a bunch of recent tie work.

    On the old SP line between Bremond and Kosse, Texas. That is north out of Hearne heading for Corsicana.

    Wow. That NS unit is needing some attention to paint. I can't recall ever seeing a photo of an unwrecked NS engine so badly peeled.

    Something nasty happened, and it looks fairly recent? I don't recall news.

    This must be how new container trailers are shipped.
