UP 7776 |
Description: |
32nd St. UP 7776 is doing the run around by passing the main. It was the day after Memorial Day and things were busy from the long weekend but not backed ip, the dispatcher had his hands full but was doing a fine job in keeping them running and keeping things fluid. That is a part of railroading many of us never see and take for granted. It all takes someone to make it all happen, in or out of sight. |

NS 5504 |
Description: |
NS 5504 on the AB something or another local. The crew on the AB had been setting at this spot all day, shortly after this pic, they were picked up after going on the hours and another crew dropped off. It was the day after Memorial Day so there were trains a plenty and they didn't have much of a chance to get between them to do their work. |

Lament |
Description: |
I was excited to see this. And who would have lamented one of these just 5 years ago let alone 10? Not me. But today? I would take a Heritage 1 over most anything else GE wide cabbed on BNSF. I love War Bonnets but 16 years (jeesh! that long ago) into the merger almost all look like Nappy Bonnets. |

You'd think having less hours on them they wouldn't slap a UTU Love Box to them but they did. *goes back to eating lead paintchips and pondering the meaning of life in a fishbowl* |
