PS the engineer commanded the lead loco while the conductor was blowing the horn

409 indirectly as in auto. I added the 409 because it is one of my favorite Beach Boy songs, and I wanted a number that wasn't my birthdate, since so many people use that. Whenever I use a number, it has some signifigance to something I like.

<singing> She's real fine my 409. [:D]


I don't know about you all, but I can't wait till those new UP Heritage units come to North Little Rock so I can get up close and see them. [:D] [:D] [:D]

A UP train! (They tend to be sorta rare in Wisconsin)

I saw it on the passing siding by the Milwaukee airport, I would guess it was there while the Z-EMCH went by?

Also, some unusual CP visitors to Milwaukee last week:

BNSF 7751 in the new swoosh scheme. Unfortunately, it was 6:00 AM, and I didn't realize what I was looking at until it was right next too me - headlights were too bright to see the nose. It was leading another BNSF loco in HII paint, followed by blue/white unit that looked like an ex-GE demonstrator. Was heading south through Norman, OK leading a mixed freight.

On Wednesday, I got the chance to go mini-golfing with my cousins in Wisconsin Dells. I'm not very good at Mini golfing, but I jumped at the chance, as the CP railroad Bridge over the Wisconsin River is right next to the golf course. I ended up seeing three trains, the first a CP led by two AC4400's, the second a CSX run through(I'm assumming) with a CSX SD60M(I think) followed by an AC4400(Again, I think) and the third train was a another CP train, With a CP unit on the point, and a lease unit behind that, but I couldn't identify these two.

I don't go main line railfanning much, so I may not have properly identified most of these units. I'm used to the GP38's, SD20's, and SD40-2's of the Wisconsin & Southern

Or rather, heard, CSX GP38-2 2709. While I'll often make an effort to catch an engine when it's working here where I work, today I heard the horn and just wanted to hear it again - it was plain melodious and a pleasure to listen to. The engine itself was another well-worn example of a workhorse.

WHEN: Tuesday, July 19, 2005, about 12:45 PM
WHERE: Grade crossing, where Mt. Prospect Road crosses the former C&NW Northwest Line, which parallels Northwest Highway.
WHAT: A self-propelled Burro crane pushing a MoW flat car in front, and pulling another flat car and a dump car behind, moving very slowly. Another, single Burro crane was following at a short distance. And then an inbound Metra commuter train rolled by on an adjacent track. The MoW cars were gray annd still lettered for C&NW.

Not bad for a weekday afternoon.

I also recently saw a work train, including what appeared to be a transfer caboose painted in Milwaukee Road colors on a spur off the former C&NW New Line, near the grade crossing on Higgins Road/Touhy Avenue.

(This is near the site of the crash of American Flight 191.)

a lot of trains, and engines, and boxcars and such. [;)] [:D]

But when I see them I am too busy to write down all the engine numbers. [:(]

Oh well, life is good. [^]

Today, (well yesterday, it is after midnight) in the Brunswick CSX / MARC yard, I found a pair of B & O Budds. There are vines on the opposite side, and the B & O lettering is fading through the Maryland Department of Transportation lettering.
