Trackside 212: An unlikely visitor
Posted by D-Halv on Monday, June 3, 2013 8:53 AM

Good morning!

Send us your submissions for Trackside with Trains Vol 212: "An unlikely visitor."

Show us a railroad photo featuring a locomotive, piece of rolling stock or other subject that doesn't frequent the photographed area. For example: a Ferromex locomotive in Minnesota, an FEC well car in Illinois, or an armadillo crossing the tracks in Michigan.

Please email your photo to trackside@trains.com no later than 4 p.m. CDT on Thursday, June 6, 2013.

Learn more: http://trn.trains.com/home/trackside

Thanks,

Drew Halverson

Ferromex in Minnesota might be unusual - FEC well cars are everywhere!

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

If Dan would send one of those new DMIR ore cars down this way, I'd be happy to shoot it!

I would assume that one would have to provide enough photographic background to show where the shot was taken.

The circus train(s) would qualify just about anywhere.

Ironically three Ferromex units were in Duluth MN last week on a BNSF pellet train for Ahmsa.  They show up here about once every two months.
