Appreciate the comments, unexpected encounter today along a lonely stretch of backroad

Love the first one,
Who would think a big old UP loco would be sneaking through the field. That is what it looked like to me.

Steve, I was cruising along looking at birds and deer and all of a sudden there it was, I was shocked and started talking to myself. That track is all overgrown, and I hadn't seen a train on it for a couple of years.. ..until today. I probably should have reported it, it may have been hijacked by some tren de aragua members.

That has to be an oldie.

Couple shots from this evening at Udall KS. WB Local with a former Santa Fe unit on the point. Still a few SF units on the rail 30 years after the BN merger !!

[Waukonda]

Excellent pics and use of lighting!!!!! That would be great to see, it looks as if the BNSF patch blends in, and doesn't have that glaringly ugly look that I have seen on many units (not Santa Fe).

What a great picture of a fleeting moment in time, rainbow, train, rushing water from the storm, remnants of clouds from the storm, great timing.

Hey Santa Fe,
Not sure how many times I looked at this picture.
NICE didn’t notice the Rainbow. Not sure how you guys do it but I dig it.
May you have a blessed day today.

Me too. That's what I was thinking also

Just saw these 2 side by side, and thought it would be good to post for a nose comparison of a GP60 (1169) and SD40-2 (4255). I was looking at the 1169, and to me it had the looks of one that had been repainted. I dug a little, and found that it was originally a St Louis & Southwestern/Cotton Belt loco. I found a pic online of how it looked back in the day, so the first 2 pics are mine and the 3rd I downloaded.

Thanks Fella’s
