On one of my trips to Horseshoe Curve I took a photograph of a Conrail SW1200 switcher on a manifest eastbound going past the observaton area.  It was running since you could hear the difference in its sound from the big road switchers.

Some really gave me a chuckle including a maintenance speeder on point with a big boy behind followed by an English electric loco of some kind. That one was a video accompanied by stills.

I don't have anything you would call unusual to offer, but hoping that some of you do, let's give it a go. 

This is the best I could do.

A BS 4-4-0 followed by two Atlas Trainmasters and a BLI 2-10-4
