They have made some new trails lately that have given me some new vantage points

According to this month's Trains magazine, this is THE highest priority train on the BNSF ( ZWSPNBY9 00, Willow Springs to North Bay ), which explains the crazy amount of extra power they always have.

It doesn't show well in this shot, but the second unit is a freshly painted SD70MAC, so cream and green is starting to disappear.

Been a long time since I have seen a BNSF freight consisting entirely of boxcars.

It must be my week for old EMD's on the Stockton Sub. Here is another SD70MAC in need of a trip to Maaco

I've always loved head on shots. With a full frame equivalent range of 24-600mm, my Sony RX10IV has really turned out to be the perfect railfan camera.

It also works very well capturing the plethora of red-tails that hang out around the tracks in Franklin Canyon

The Western Railway Museum recently acquired a couple of decidedly modern pieces to their collection. A San Diego Trolley Siemens-Duewag U2

Great shot of the red-tailed hawk. They are very camera shy. I visited the western Railway Museum a few times back in the 70's when I lived in Sacramento.
