Well sorry inturrupt in the east coast discussion, but I'm going to ahve to drop a midwest bomb. I have a trip report thats about two weeks old that needs to be post. Although most of you have probably seen it. On November 6th Brent came up to Wausau for the weekend. Our plan was to chase the 588 south to Stevens Point, and then see what was around the Stevens Point Area. Our trip started on the morning of November 8th arriving at the Wausau yard. The 588 hadn't left yet, and it seemed as
What you guys need is the Flex-Mod scheduling... That's pretty neat Tyler, although I wouldn't mind some captions under the pictures.
[quote user="wctransfer"] Ugh, Robby take Jordan down to Barr Yard to show him what SD40-2's are supposed to be doing, pulling mainline trains! I live by the BNSF, and besides the few resident SD40-2's that have been around here for months, there is nothing to look at. I would definately rather be shooting UP SD70M's and family than that BNSF orange..... That 6873 was a nice catch, though! I made three trips to Chicago this year, and shot nothing but CSX and affiliates at Blue
Thanks Noah! That GP30 was neat to see, although it was weird for me. I think that was the first time ever seeing and hearing a GP39-2. Seeing a GP30 car body and hearing it sound like a SD40-2... Good luck on the ICE Noah, it seems like you can get a westbound around noon heading out of DJ. Not sure how long that'll last though. My shots are a little lower than decent. I've been wanting to do better compositions, but I just don't have a good eye for it. I know it takes time, but looking
Welcome Taylor! My long awaited Athearn F units have finally come in! First we have ATSF 90, which will be patched evenutaly to WC 6652. Here we have WC 6654.
Yesterday I got back from a two day trip to Rochelle. The goal of the whole trip was to catch and hopefully chase an ICE train from DJ to where ever the light ran out. Well unexpected things happened with Robbys' car. So I had to bail him and Nick out and give them a ride to their hotel, which luckily was right across the tracks at Rochelle. When they finally got set up, an ICE train had got its' warrant from DJ to Kittridge. Looks like that part of the trip was a bust. Other than that I
I'll have to check the videos out Tyler! Well I finished processing my shots from Rochelle. Most of the pictures are BNSF, infact all of the pictures are BNSF, except for three. UP didn't have much to offer that day. I hope the photobucket compression isn't bad. Enjoy my trip report, although it gets kind of boring towards the end. My Oct 29th-30th Rochelle trip was probably by far one of my most interesting trips I have taken. Great catches, cold, rain, car break downs, and even straying
Great composition Tyler! I don’t mean to insult you or to be over critical, but I think if you would have waited just another second and let the lead unit get into that clear area, it would have made the shot even better. Another thing, maybe if you got a little closer to the tracks, so you‘d get more train in the shot. Maybe for next time. Again I don’t mean to be critical or insulting, overall though it is a nice shot! Alex, I think the song fits great! Great video!
[quote user="Railfan Alex"] It is really time to start a new thread guys. Waaayyy into October it is! http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/161577.aspx [/quote] http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/160942.aspx
[quote user="ns3010"] When Conrail tore up the Lackawanna Cutoff in 1984, they removed the rails, but left the wayside structures and equipment (such as signals) AND TIES (???) intact for the entire length. I could see maybe the signals and structures, but I want to know, why the ties???????????????? Makes ZERO sense to me.... [/quote] Like Tyler said, rails have scrap value. Ties pretty much don't have any value (Unless they are in good shape, then you can sell them to lumber yards
