    UP 8159 SD9043MAC

    Didn\'t think much of this scene at the time, still upset about missing out on the last days of patched Tunnel motors in mainline service a couple years earlier. Now the engines themselves are in storage and area railfans report the tower has been torn down. On the other hand the FrontRunner...

  8. Two in one

    Two in one

    This is just plain weird. CN has patched its typical "No Treespassing" sign with a smaller version of its old self, and a different phone #. Why? Which is the right number...? Note that decalling for "Danger" on the top has been salvaged (likely for another sign) and that...
  9. Stay out!

    Stay out!

    CN sure doesn't like visitors in their yards. I've seen all these signs on CN property separately before, but there sure is strength in numbers. This isn't the main entrance either, just a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, on the city's outskirts leading to the shops (CN's private road runs...

  14. Remote control!

    Remote control!

    Not sure how a pink SD40-2F sumbolizes remote controlled units, but I must admit this is one cool sign! Sure beats the one they have in Winnipeg. Basically chalk on wood. Here's the other side of the crossing that the sign is on...
  15. RR Sign - UP Memphis Sub - M.J. Scanlon

    RR Sign - UP Memphis Sub - M.J. Scanlon

    NS 9238 - C40-9W - M.J. Scanlon

    Like the signs says, "Memphis is not the end of the Norfolk Southern system - It is the beginning - Safety first starts here". NS9238 is parked in front of the building displaying that sign in Forrest Yard on the East Spur.

    Not an entry; just for laughs

    So the photo assignment topic is Crews, eh? Alright, here's the Santa Fe station sign at Crews, CO, south of Colorado Springs, where the double track joint line from Pueblo narrows to a single track to Palmer Lake. This is just for smerks; the photo is from 1989, which disqualifies it from the...
