Well, all right then!

Show me one thing on top of another thing.

No takers on the modern passenger?   I figured we would see some Amtrak.

 

 

So it is back to Ray's weeds, lets see some really nasty looking weeds.

So what is up with that?   Hardly any activity all night and then a 1:32am Central time someone in BC and someone in PA manage to post at exactly the same time!  What is this, insomniacs united?

Well, it looks like my request for the original Norfolk Southern has expired. 

How about showing me something from any one of the "fallen flags" that make up the current-day Norfolk Southern.  Feel free to go back as far as you wish.  Smile, Wink & Grin

There are not many places flatter than Illinois, especially the bit we are in, so what better than the flat expanse of a mine.

 

Show me something from a fallen flag that merged into the UP.  Personal preference would be CNW, but will accept anything.

Garry congratulations on the photo in the mag this month, I figure that has to be your bridge and Red-Birds!  Great shot, well deserved.
