    Omaha Posse 2021

    Long Intermodal on the UP yesterday. They stopped to set out some cars in Valley NE. Headend was in the next town east (Waterloo). Conductor was about 4 miles from the headend. They lost communication for a bit and the MTO had to come from Fremont to help. They ran out of time after they stopped...

    Omaha Posse 2021

    Didn't have to wait long. By the time I gathered all the stuff to take the picture, figure how to get the bicycle secured in the car with out the bike rack, then park the car and bike to location, all the time hoping the Amtrak tracker was correct.

    Trying to find out if audio of steam engine is appropriate for time period

    Give me a day or two and I will post some recordings of both the Omaha Zoo's 25 ton 1890 Austrian 0-6-2T loco and the 1968 4-4-0. Your sound is good. Another place to listen to is the Cumbres and Toltec videos featuring the 4-4-0's that came to visit last year.

    Chicago and Northwestern Paint

    There is one color picture of a two tone F unit in the Withers Diesels of the Chicago and Northwestern and the dark color looks green. But never having seen one in person I don't know. The non F units of that time were yellow and green.

    Can anyone tell me more about this book?

    I have a CNW one from 1903. Much good info particularly if you are modeling. Standard signs, buildings, anything that wasn't on the rails.

    Omaha Posse 2021

    55+ years ago my brother and I would visit my grandparents farm just north of West Chicago IL. I was in the area for a family memorial get together. I stopped by "the farm". Surrounded by industry and houses it is strange that the 40 acres looks the same except for lack of buildings. On the west...

    North of Fremont today,1/28/2022 is the BNSF 5758 hauling tank cars northbound. A local railfan called these engines that could count. 57, 58.

    F40PHM-2

    Not necessarily. I believe on newer locos the air compressor has a separate motor that is run from the system voltage. Hence the "Whoop" sound when the compressor motor starts.

    Omaha Posse 2021

    Christmas Eve Day dawned foggy. I love fog, so went and took some pictures. First east of Fremont is a train getting a new crew. The 8207 will head east and turn north at California Jct. While driving around I chased the 7470 to North Bend NE. Fog cleared a bit about 1/2 mile east of North Bend...
