Galesburg Railroad Days2004

[jjlamkin]

Just thought I would post some photos from my trip to Galesburg Railroad Days last weekend on June 27, 2004.

A view of the BNSF "hump" yard bowl from the "longest bridge over dry land". This is a rare shot now after 911. If you are caught on this bridge, BNSF security will remove you from the bridge!!



A shot of the "hump" yard in action, a Santa Fe covered hopper being humped. (Sorry about the strange color at the top, I had to shoot through the bus windshield, they would not let us off the bus in the yard!!)
