9/11/2014. Thanks to CN Nutbar and DrWayne. It is hard for me to believe this was 2 years ago all ready. Today is worthy of 2 pictures. [attachment=26181]

I like the paint schemes. Good looking switchers.

9/11---a special day in so many ways---fortunately back in 2014 the company of good friends made this a day filled with happy memories.It was great to have Charlie visit our backyard and to spend the day rail-fanning.To be honest I was a bit concerned that Charlie might be a little disappointed as the frequency of local train action could not compare to his hometown but I think everything worked out just fine.Hopefully we'll have a chance to get together again.Here's some of my photos.

A few more from the same day...

OSRX 646, an M-420W from the British Columbia Railway:



OSRX 183, an RS-18 originally owned by INCO (International Nickel Company):



OSRX 506, an RS-23 from the CPR:

This photo, taken moments after Ed's of the CN diesels on the bridge, shows Illinois Central's 800653, SANDFORD FLEMING (II), a track inspection car re-built from a Wabash leg-rest coach. The blank-looking end right next to the locomotive is a roll-up-type door to protect the full-end picture window when the car is in-transit:



Here's a link to a much better photo, with the door rolled-up.
