The last NS unit in CR paint (excluding the heritage unit) sits between runs in Chamblee. The paint looks pretty good overall but of course there is a bit of deterioration around the margins. Re... (more)

Set up for the reflection shot, get a nice train, and ... the side of AMTK 90 has lost almost all of its blue numbering and logo. Another trackside "oh well"!

WMSR's big 2-8-0 starts the day, on the first weekend of the season, by firing up and getting its train together (backing down the track to the right of the distant WM engine), in the same WM yard... (more)

The eastbound Capitol Limited is about to clear the yard, hopefully with some freights to follow. Alas, it didn't turn out that way.

Now under a new roof, this GG-1 will no longer decay as rapidly as when it was outside. Perhaps some future generation will be able to enjoy seeing it at least cosmetically restored.

Empty autoracks head back west on Q217-01, passing through Gaithersburg on a pretty spring day. The times they keep on changing, and a new housing development peers over the scene on the right.

Quite a number of us got bad luck on Saturday as the 25Z blocked our view of the 765 from outside the curve. So we had to be satisfied with the return downhill. Of course, many if not all of us ... (more)

CPLs going! Rumor has it that the CPLs at Mexico are gone this year, and maybe the ex-tower comes down also. Here, Q394-04 is yarding its train after a run from Toledo. Lots of details t... (more)

Narrow Cabs! Narrow cabs are not (yet) in heads up / chase status, but it was nonetheless a pleasure to see a matched pair of C40-8 engines on K497-03, pulling empty ethanol cars (and an id... (more)

This small (in acreage, to my eye) trash facility nonetheless is worked by both an SW8 and a GP10, which are occasionally seen outside the fence, as here. USWX 2 is ex LV 259, later CR 8673 and al... (more)

A light power move goes to pull cars away from the power of Q276, just to the west, which is dealing with a broken rail mid-train. It is passing interchange tracks used by Waste Management, whose ... (more)
