Tonight on the way home I saw a D W & P boxcar. WOW, I think it is the first one I have ever seen of their boxcars. [:D]

[Anonymous]

Today at lunch - 2 Amtrak GP38's 720 & 724 with an Amtrak Caboose, 2 coaches and a dozen ballast cars, heading south on the NEC, through the Wilmington Amtrak station. I guess they were taking the coaches to the Amtrak complex in Bear, DE.

For some reason it seems like there is a lot more NS power visiting the area recently. I see them but usually while I am on the way to work and don't have time to chase them and get any engine numbers. [:(]

The other day I took pictures of the Bearing Cross Railroad Bridge spanning the Arkansas River. If they turn out well I will submitt one or two to Railpictures and see if one will get accepted.

Then everyone can see the "lift" section which I think is neat. [;)]

was on the EL this morning... got a lovely overhead view of an Acela coming at me from the sunrise

Today I went railfanning for a short while. It was getting cloudy and I only had a few pics left on a roll that I wanted to get developed. I went to take pics of the bridge spanning the river between NLR and LR. While there I got to see:

rather interesting day.... seems to be a good deal of track work on the NEC by me... plenty of MOW trains.... saw some mixed freights (couldnt catch the loco's unfortunately) and a SEPTA LRV

and to top off the day... stopped at the Valley Forge rest stop on the PA Turnpike... place was loaded with Neo-Nazi's and Neo-Confederates... they didnt bug me any (guess being white, blond, and blue eyed helped a little) but rather freaky a times

[Junctionfan]

Saw an interesting train today. How's this for an interesting "intermodal"?

Train number 154- CN SD75I #5675 and 19 autoracks...

[corwinda]

An NS C40-9W and UP AC4400 CTE as the DPU on the back of a UP freight.

[Anonymous]

Traveling on the Canadian Pacific through Minnesota, 4 UP units on the point of a mixed freight. 3 of which were brand new SD90MAC-HII's and a GE in the middle of them. Couldn't believe my eyes when it came around the bend

Right after the engines were two loaded coal cars, then other railroad cars (not coal cars) then another coal car, then a mixed train of everything else.

Probably those coal cars were headed to a customer that only needs a few carloads a week. Or perhaps they got set out of a unit train for repair and were headed to their original destination.

On Sunday, the girlfriend and I were on our way out, in her car, and we went down Waterford Avenue in Milwaukee. As we approached the crossing, the lights/bells/gates activated, and a train came thru southbound. I wished I had my camera with me, since the third unit on the train was SOO 4511 -- an ex-MILW GP38-2 -- and I don't yet have a picture of it for my SOO GP38-2 page. [:(]

Well, better luck next time!
