    I agree Bill. Even their older units are kept clean.

    North Dakota 2014

    Today was beautiful in Gwinner, ND! Over 60 degrees and the train came through town in the daylight instead of 10pm like normal. I was able to get some good shots and a video of GP38-2's 2638 and 2194.

    Caught the RRVW working in Gwinner again last night with GP20C's 2001 and 2002 leading. There was a Jordan Spreader at the end of the train which can be seen in the video that I will post a little later today. I hope everybody enjoys!

    No worries it didn't take to long for me to get some more pictures. Yesterday I went to Wahpeton to get some groceries and headed across the river to MN to the main yard for RRVW and took a couple pictures of some locomotives sitting at the terminal including a pair of former Santa Fe CF7's.

    This goes to prove you never know what you're going to find in Gwinner, ND. Very cool to stumble across this car being a Nebraska native. It was also neat to see the elevator moving cars with a pay loader.

    I started an engineering co-op with Bobcat Co. in Gwinner, ND on Jan. 7. Gwinner is a small town of 700 people served by the Red River Valley and Western Railroad. The RRV&W switches the Bobcat plant bringing in coiled steel, taking out scrap steel, and also serves the elevator as needed. I also...

    The problem is they are running so many oil trains out of North Dakota right now that they have a power shortage.

    I agree. If you have a good enough zoom you can park at the top of the hill on the South side and get some descent shots. Other than that it requires trespassing on railroad or private land. Thank you all for the compliments. As president of the Iowa State Railroad Club I'd like to welcome...

    Happy New Year From the Nebraska Central

    Thanks everyone! I love to railfan the Nebraska Central, most of the crews are very friendly and I enjoy shortlines. I'm going to try to get some more pictures from this area in the spring and summer when I head home.

    Happy New Year From the Nebraska Central

    I'm a little late posting, but I've had some trouble posting pictures since I got my camera. Turns out it helps when you adjust them to 1200 x 900. :rolleyes: Anyway, here are some pictures from my 1/2/14 chase of the Ord Local. This ended up being an 8 hour chase since we weren't sure if the...
