Finally! |
| Description: |
After seeing this unit for months, I'm finally able to get a shot of this unit. Even though it was ideling, it was smoking pretty good. That H3 paint goes good on pretty much everything. |

Departing Northtown |

I came back to Northtown later in the day so I could shoot this train leaving, and much to my delight, the lighting was perfect too! I love BMSFs GP38s in the H1 paint. |

This old GP30 looks like it may be at the end of its long service life. But hey, how many of locomotives can say they had over 40 years of service on the railroad? |

A real Gem |
| Description: |
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this engine sitting at 44th. I never thought I'd get the chance to see one of these in person. What made it even better was the fact that a blue TFM SD40-2s was on the other side of the bridge! This engine is also on its old stomping grounds, the 3118 is ex NP! |
