As part of our road trip to St Louis a few weeks ago, we loosely followed the GTW route from Toronto to Chicago. We decided to stretch our legs in Durand, where we were greeted by a K4 Pacific... no not that K4... this K4!

There is also a GTW baggage car and caboose in the area.

We watched a BNSF crew assemble their train for a few minutes before continuing on.

Here's a photo that I recently found on my phone but never posted.  This pic was taken on June 28, 2016 and captures these four Amtrak AEM7s, as they leave the Northeast Corridor in Newark, Delaware, en route to Amtrak's Bear, Delaware facility and their untimely demise.  This photo was taken literally just several days after the AEM7 Farewell Excursion.

Oh man, that's very sad.

Caught a Heritage Amtrak unit in Lilly, PA last weekend.


Ph. 3 is not bad, but Ph. 2 (wide stripes and big BN style numbers) is my fave.  Maybe someday.
