First Train Of 2017, Ashland, NE

[CGW101c]

Christmas money in hand I headed for Randy's Roundhouse (model RR shoppe) in Lincoln, NE. On the way I caught BNSF LINLIN on the Platte River bridge along Hwy 6. Northbound trains here are pretty rare. LINLIN is really hard to catch because it runs at odd hours. The other two trains were coal one in each direction south of Greenwood with the DPU of the SB "meeting" the NB. Misty and cool but not freezing yet.

Great shot on the Platte River bridge. The fog really adds to the scene.

Here is another train on the Platte River Bridge as I headed for Lincoln for lunch. 2 trains a week apart at the same spot....... what luck!


GE bookends and a little water reflection.
