With FVM's new B&O wagon top caboose hitting the stores I thought this would be appropriate.

Nice one Lenny! And in the original number, too.

Spikre... the HR-412 wasn't that rare in Eastern Canada, even with only ten built, they always seemed to be represented well beyond their numbers.

Spikre,

ES44DC - Taken a few years ago. They have only had AC unit for the last year or so..

4 of the 5 units were MLWs. I miss those days

Railcam frame capture from Thursday - a brace of Geeps (mostly GP38s and 38-2s, it appears) en route to National Railway Equipment in Mt. Vernon, IL. Don't know if it's for rebuilding, repowering, resale, scrapping or parts donations for conversion to gensets. This is the second set this month. The rightmost Geep appears to be a B-unit conversion of the type Santa Fe was fond of doing with wrecked cabs, so odds are likely all or most won't be coming out of NRE "whole".

Although it was overcast today (in advance of a pending minor snowstorm here), I took advantage of a day off and spent a couple hours around Marysville today.  Not particularly busy, but a few meets occurred in front of me:





And here was a pleasant surprise!
