Good pictures, David!
Thanks for the look inside an Aussie signal box, Cudgee.
J.O., that is an awesome keepsake, thanks for showing.

Cudgee: Bet that guy had a good memory! Imagine the mechanical workings under that yard. My Dad had a switch club in the trunk of his '49 Hudson. It was a massive hunk of hickory wood twice the size of a baseball bat. It was shoved into a hole in the iron weight on the end of the switch rod to throw the rod over and activate the switch. Love that railroad stuff! J.O'.

Catches from today.....a few looks at a BNSF coal train, and a fast moving UP that surprised me, I was only able to get a shot of the DPU loco in the middle

Re: Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?
Have you ever wondered.
I see Swift trailers and containers on trains.
But Swift drivers always seem to be the ones doing idiot stuff.
Makes me wonder....
