TAG 80 and CCKY 1104 leads the C&C turn north at Rock Springs, Georgia to Chattanooga, TN where they will set out cars at Chickamauga and finally at Chattanooga for interchange with Norfolk Southern.
TAG 80 is a GP38-2 and 1104 is a ex IC GP9 rebuilt by their Paducah shops into a GP11.
A train on the East Portland Traction Company rolls past the former Union Pacific 4-6-2 on display at Oaks Park in Portland. The steamer is now at the ORHF Enginehouse.
Newly acquired B40-8W on the Great Western Railway of Saskatchewan property. No one should guess who she worked for before. GWRS 563 and 575 sit with the MLW M420's in Assiniboia Saskatchewan.
Former Southern Pacific 0-6-0 number 1233 crosses the floodgates for the Sacramento River near West Sacramento, California in October of 1996. Should the river become swollen, these gates will open into the flat floodplain and onto part of the Yolo Shortline's main.
Whenever I go to Prince Albert to catch CTRW action I see nothing! But railfan the CN mainline at Chappelle JCT in Saskatoon and look what the cat dragged in. Sure looks like the backwoods of Prince Albert though, had I stood on the other side the city skyline would instead form the background...
Hard to believe I drove 200km to see this piece of junk. Im being sarcastic/common-sense of-course as I love it! This has to be one of the strangest units in Saskatchewan: M420R(W) ex-Maine Coast originally P&W via NREX, always #2004. The story I hear with these units is that MLW sold them...

Washington & Idaho southbound freight crosses bridge 56 over Palouse River. This is a 100 foot deck plate girder span with an 8 span timber pile aproach. Photo taken March 5, 2008.
He's green, non-polluting and a GP9 derivative. Lots of room for batteries and a hybrid set-up in the back. Railpower, are you listening?
This unit, along with GWRX 1040 http://tinyurl.com/2zuxg7 is used to keep three other GP10's running. Even the headlights are gone, never mind bogies, fuel...
Your typical plain-white shortline hi-rail, until you see this decal on the back. Quite clever IMHO, although a pick-up truck certainly doesn't qualify as a train in my log book.
While at the Carson and Mills Park Railroad, the Locomotive Recieved New Drive Rods, New Smoke Box Plate, New Running Boards, a New Front Truck & Wheels, and a New Sit In Cab.
