    USDOT U30C

    Back in the day this was GE's most popular 6-axle, offered in direct competition to EMD's SD40-2, making him a direct predecessor to todays GEVO. 600 units were made vs. 4,000 40s. Interstingly both UP & BN bought up a bulk of them, 150 vs. 686 & 180 vs. 779 respectively. UP...

  4. R.I.P. Fort Garry spur

    R.I.P. Fort Garry spur

    This spur ran off CN Rivers sub into the Fort Garry Industrial Park #1. At its peak it had at least four spurs and siding, serving a variety of warehouses in the area. When I started railfanning in 2003, it was down to one spur and a siding, both lacking traffic. Not surprisingly by Spring 2005...
  5. Full Body Shot

    Full Body Shot

    This can be seen as one of the greatest things I have ever achieved. For the longest time I wanted to take this picture, but I didn't want to sacrifice the option of close up photos. I knew this Tramp job was coming, but I decided to burn down to the CP bridge in attempt to catch the 456. When...

    CSX 1 - My first rail photo of the year!

    CSX 1, the Spirit of West Virginia, southbound at Walbridge, Ohio north of the yard Jan 6 2008. Cruddy lighting aside, it was my first photo of the year, first CSX sighting of the year, so why not complete the trifecta and make it my first online photo?
  8. Game over

    Game over

    A contracor takes away the ties of CN's Fort Garry Industrial Park #1 trackage. I haven't seen a train there ever since I started railfanning two years prior, so it's fair to say that not much has been lost. There weren't even any cars in the industrial park, not to mention 2/3's of the tracks...

    To be SNC #51

    Delta-Alaska Terminal no.1 Baldwin DS-4-4-6 was destined to the Seattle & North Coast RR in 1980. Once acquired it was painted as North Coast Lines no.51 in Northern Pacific style and got involved in legal action because of the paint scheme. Spent little time on the SNC before moving on...

    One Chance, One Train

    The family was gathering in Bellingham for Mrs. NP1232's mom's birthday and it takes about 2 hours of riding ferrys and driving to get there. As we crossed over the BNSF Bellingham Sub just north of Burlington, the CN 5746 passed under. Because we were running on time, Mrs. NP1232 authorized a...
