    Old railcar/boxcar

    I was wondering if someone could give me their best guess on what railroad this came from and possibly an age. I have 2 on my property and I am not quite sure at this point what I am going to do with them. Thanks!

    Ye Olden Days

    This is from sometime around 1972, and it looks to be taken at Riverview of all places! I found it as part of an old club roster at school. This seems to be running with an SD40, GP9, SW1200, and GMD-1...Consists musn't have been very uniform back then!

    UP Local passing under the old Rock Island Bridge

    A "local" which runs from the UP in Dalhart down BNSF's Dalhart Sub to pick up/set out cars in the old RI yard here in Amarillo and return to Dalhart. I like UP's choice of power for this train. the old Rock Island Bridge is now used as a storage track for UP.

    They don't make them like they used to. This guy is probably on his last run, being on the 450 to Chicago. SD40-2Ws are a rarity, now. With the 2516, this looks like a consist right out of the 1990s.
