    UP/CNW 1995 Heritage SD70ACe

    Saturday, July 15th: UP 1995 hangs out a few minutes before they opened the gates to everyone. While this was the official "unveiling," the locomotive was actually unveiled earlier this morning in Proviso yard.

  3. Solar Signal Aspect

    Solar Signal Aspect

    I've heard of a lunar signal, but a solar signal?! The late afternoon sun peeks through some tiny space in the signal housing and shines out, guiding Main 2 westward at Downers Grove.
  4. Got Sand?

    Got Sand?

    UP 1982 shoots out sand while sitting on display at Franklin Park Railroad Daze on May 20th.

    AMTK 60 races westward through Downers Grove, passing MP21 and also a memorial to someone who died at the Forest Ave crossing just behind me
  6. Durango and Silverton 486

    Durango and Silverton 486

    486 puts on a fabulous display in the less than desirable weather conditions in the Animas River valley north of Durango, CO. Notice how much the steamer hangs over the narrow guage rails.

  8. Model Railroader Boxcar

    Model Railroader Boxcar

    The 70th Anniversary Model Railroader/WSOR boxcar zips by on a fast westbound UP manifest at Ashton, IL. Good thing I leave my camera on whenever manifests go by, you never know what you're gonna see.

    A little league baseball game taking place at Gilbert Park in Downers Grove, IL is drowned out by the roar of two EMDs.
  11. Man, this SUCKS...

    Man, this SUCKS...

    Oh wait, that's what it is supposed to do. The LORAM Railvac sucks like no other. The R/C operator controls the hose movement and can even move the machine back and forth.
  12. Hill Yard - MetraBNSF

    Hill Yard - MetraBNSF

    Almost all the trainsets on BNSF layover in Aurora for the weekend as they wait for Monday's morning rush. 1-year old MP36s hang in with the F40PHM-2s.

    7687 rounds the curve at the Belmont Metra station with Z-CHCSSE in tow.

    I hope the patient survives!
