I, too, went with the Super C.  None of the rest really said "can't wait" too me without the caption - the Juice Train wasn't obvious for being the juice train.  Alex forgot the snow in his image.

Jordan's Super-C.  Great train even if it didn't work out.

I'll go with Dale Rockwell's wind turbine blades for export - shipments that miss their boat at port will be delayed a week to a month, depending on destination and shipping schedules.

This is the best contest in a long while. The pictures were good either for their content or artistic merit. I coudn't really find one that combined both, so I went with the "home team" photo by Alex Mayes.

Went with Robert Jordan’s photo, it and the juice train were the only ones that really were freight that can’t wait, and Robert’s just drew the eye more…

I went with Robert Jordan's photo, from when the "Super C" was the hottest freight train in the United States.  The location is very familiar and I took a similar photo about a year later.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
