Great picture.

There hasn't been a Southern Pacific for so long their black has faded to gray. That is kind of amazing.

Thank you, it's nice to share! Reminds me of  the B&O-C&O-WM merger and then the Chessie System-Family Lines merger into CSX. Almost every train was an adventure, you never knew what kind of unit or whose rr it would be!

This photo I took way back in January but I thought it would be pretty cool to share. Your chances are slim if you see one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upnate/6777572655/in/photostream
