We're predominantly locomotive fans - not train fans - or so it would appear

I too am all for the locomotives, but I also find all of the cars interesting as well. Between the varying colors, fallen flags, graffiti (and yes I know that graffiti is wrong and evil, so please don't burn me for it), and far away roads that make each train very different and unique. To me this is the down side of unit trains from the photography standpoint, each car is basically identical, very monotonous for taking roster shots of the cars. and unfortunately for me, being here along the Joint Line in Colorado the majority of trains are unit coals But either way for about the last two years I have been getting as many roster shots of cars and locos as I can. Right now I have just under 3,000 pictures of various cars, (boy digital is nice, there is no way I could be doing this with film!). Just my [2c]! <br /> <br />And just as a side note, the last most interesting car that I have found was a boxcar in Cheyenne last weekend that was MMA 117. A Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway Limited boxcar that was as shiny and clean of any car that I have seen in a long time!
