That's pretty good for a cell camera IMO.
The first two units are odd, the Go transit F59PHI (I think?) and the SD40-2 with the odd nose light. Might be an Ex-SP or DRGW unit.

The dynamic brake housing is the shape of SD40-2's housing. The amount of distance between the nose and hand rails looks excessive for an SD40. SP never had bells in the nose. UP never assigned any UP numbers to SP's SD40Rs.

Right I got that earlier. It looked like an unlight light to me.

Might be an Ex-SP or DRGW unit. The GO Tran was new and not even running as it went by (east bound), I asume it was new? Or rebuilt and heading to its destination? I was wondering about the SD40-2 myself as to what RR previously owned it.

Yeah, The GO may have been deadherading from shops, maybe Amtrak's for major rebuild? (That's a guess) SP used odd noselights like that, it's proably a UP repaint from the merger with another rr,

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
OK! The X-wife helped me out. I sent the pics to her in a text and then she sent them to my home email.

Who thought it was a good idea to put a camera in a phone that has no easy way to get the pictures off of it and onto your home computer? I guess that is what we get for buying the "cheap" phone.

Yup. Its all about taking money from our wallets. I just called US Cellular and they said that I can't upgrade my phone untill my service contract is 80% over. So I guess I will be buying a new phone from Tiger Direct. US Cellular is not getting any more of my money.

No. I wish I could. I didn't enter the cel phone world untill 2 years ago and I am a slow learner on stuff like this.
Interiors and people figures make such a difference. Especially the people.
I have no way of getting the pics from the cam onto the PC. I tried to email them to myself but I have a crappy samsung phone with limited US Celular service. Any ideas how to get them from phone to PC?
So I was out on my bike tooling around and I rode down a backroad I like to cruise because It is on the UP main line. Usually I don't see much there but yesterday afternoon there was 3 coal trains on the tracks 2 were stopped and one was heading east. I didn't know how far up the engines were but I wanted to get some pics of the locomotives. I was hoping to get a pick of an SD90. I cought up to the locos and sure enough there was an SD90/43 behind a GE. So I hammer it and race up to the grade crossing and reach for my camera.
DRAT!!!! I forgot the camera!! So I used the crappy cel phone cam and got a shot with that, then got back on the bike and raced into town and met the train there and got a few more pics with the cel. It was a cool ride.
I remember as a kid trying to chase trains and we never could seem to get far enough ahead of them to get good pics. On the bike... way different story.
