Great photos Dave. Almost feels like I was there!

Almost forgot to post this one.  A baby gon.

Bob,

Did you catch what that little gondola was?  It has friction bearings converted to roller bearings, so it's likely very old.

Dave that almost got by me before I saw it.  I know they used these in the South a lot but don't know who it belonged to.  Been years since I've seen one that small.

The circus train from a few weeks ago. It was on it's way to Kalamazoo, MI and I caught it just south of White Pigeon, MI of the Grand Elk RR.

Have always liked the gray/blue/yellow  CSX.  Here's a couple from the west end of Glendive....

Last of the San Diego & Imperial Valley Railway (SD&IV Ry) #3861.  Judging by the temp reporting marks of "LASX", apparently being readied for delivery to Mexico?  (Las Casiana S.A. de C.V.?)
