Some Old Negatives from Late 1980's to 2000

[CGW101c]

As most of us do from time to time, we look back into the files looking for something we thought we had seen on a previous journey. As railfans we collect stuff and show our finds to friends and fellow fans. In the days before digital photography this meant grabbing a group of prints from the latest adventure or produce a slide show for a local group. The slide show is now the subject of many jabs from people who had to sit through a seemingly endless program of the "summer vacation". Through the magic of the internet and global communication we can now visit a site that deals with whatever piques our interest. And if we are bored with it we just go somewhere else without offending our well meaning host. That was a long winded intro into some things I found in my collection along the same vein as the "Some Old Slides" post from last year. This bunch won't be the flood of pictures the last post was, but I hope you find something of interest. I'll begin with a trip to Baldwin KS in the late 1990's.

Great set of Slides Tom.

I believe CRI&P 652 and CRI&P 630 Still in Kansas City at Mid American. I see photos of them pop up from time to time on the difference social medial platforms.

I thought I read something recently about Coos Bay 10 so I googled it. Looks like it may have been scrapped in 2011.
