This ex SOO loco was at the Mannheim Yard Engine House, only info available on it is that it's not going to the Shore River RR.

Here's a grab shot of a CSX ES44AC on a BNSF manifest coming into Mojave. As I learn more about such things, I see that, due to the centerbeam flat, it's an Inside Gateway train coming from either Seattle or Vancouver, WA, headed to Barstow. There was a long drought of foreign units out here, but I'm seeing more CSX and NS lately.

So they picked that unit up at their connection with CSX in Seattle?

Based on this thread <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.westcoastrailforums.com/thread-8408.html">http://www.westcoastrailforums.com/thread-8408.html</a><!-- m --> BNSF has a power shortage, and anything can happen. I've noticed a lot more NS and CSX power, although this is the first foreign power I've seen on a manifest.

Little red one.

PRT 22 & crew working the Dundee transload yard , switching covered hoppers for the grain transload & a boxcar for Omega logistics !!!!!!! :o hock:

They are everywhere

Great little switcher shots. (My kind of fun.)

45 tonners are plotting to take over the world.

Started on my Kitbashed Structure for the 2014 Summer Build challenge, there is still lots of time to join in for those who are interested!

"45 tonners are plotting to take over the world. " ----------- and, there's something, "vaguely familiar", about that Blue and White Box Car..... :?: :?:

I understand that the box car was handcrafted by a modeller of superior skills. I disagree with that assessment because I believe that it was handcrafted by an artist of superior skills.

Switching in a narrow and busy street


ps. Bruce, this is also an ex SOO bandit. It got a brain and shell wash and became a proud Milwaukee Road switcher again

Checkmate for me!!! No little critter to show!

I'm still curious about that is going to happen to that SOO loco!
