Went for a drive with CGW101c. Not much moving, but with the low sun and colorful locomotives we were able to photograph a few railroady subjects.

Back across the river to Omaha's Gibson Yard and there were more colors and a rare hopper from the Aberdeen and Rockfish.

See you all in 2017.

I like the shadows on the wall of the building. Really shows how low the sun was. Good eye Rick.
 
Were's that at, behind the walnut wood company?

I've been meaning to ask, it seems like IAIS has keept both slug sets in CB lately, at least for the past couple months, anyone know why?
 
Yep, that is behind Midwest walnut. Don't think I've ever seen them park power there. I suppose there will be many operation changes in the future.
