Maybe MC should change his name: to "Polka Chicken"[:D][}:)]
Then it would be "PC".[(-D]

Way to go Mud [tup]. I didn't realize that BNSF had track rights out that way on the Moffat Sub, I always though (or maybe just assumed) that it was pure unadulterated UP out west there.

It is a great shot, mudchicken. I've been fortunate enough to see State Bridge from both sides of a dome, and it is a great location, too.

MC Unmasked!!

Hey guy, great shot. In my useless but nonetheless humble opinion definitely good enough to turn over to your employer for their PR if you are so inclined. Well-composed, and puts an excellent face on the RR.

It seems as though this fine image has become the photo of the week, as of this writing (noon Tuesday) it is still on the home page. Way to go, dirty bird!
