Been to this guy's site before, but what a St Louis 1960s treasure trove:

Didn't the B&O go into St. Louis Union Station?

Caught this in Nampa, ID. They looked new with sequential numbers and the horns were capped.

Not sure what they were doing there.

Military loads on a CSX train last week.

Jason:
Looking at the CSX photographic roster, these could very well be some of the SD40-2s that CSX received from NS in their trade involving the SD80MACs.  They are not listed in the roster but are listed after the rebuilt SD40-3s.  They could be out there for rebuild but I would think they would have done that before they repainted them.  Someone may be able to look at the details in the picture and provide more accurate information.

Yay!  I can contribute!

Probably no need for a caption...

With all the new Trainworx releases I thought I would share what I found on 17th Street in Altoona yesterday:

Found this neat site with some pretty interesting photos of a GN wreck from the 60s. Lots of other good Pasco area stuff too.
