i am pretty sure i took the third picture in New Mexico, probibly the same spot as the other GATX unit, just outside of Santa Rosa.

the SP with the GECX lettering was on the same line, but much further south, somewhere north of Alamogordo. and the other SP unit was in Tucson, AZ.


to post the pictures, i upload them onto my web hosting site, then when you type out your message, click on the little icon that looks like a picture. you will get a set of image tags that look like these [.img][./img] then you just cut and paste the address of the picture between the tags.
