Last Saturday in Austell I saw some UP's, BNSF's, and, on train 97G NS 3215 and 3218 were both running LHF and 3215 had a M5 horn which is really rare and if it goes to the shop it will be Bad Ordered or Disposed from what I'm told.

A Western Pacific boxcar in service. Probably the first I've ever seen that's not in a museum. Of course, the batteries in my camera were dead (duuuh).

Today I saw a CNW SD40-2 (I think). It had the UP patches on it coming out of Butler, WI. I stopped at the gas station and bought a cheap disposable camera, but I wasn't able to get in front of the train again. Up has been upgrading that Adams line, and Ithink train speeds have increased as well. Crap. I doubt I will ever see anything like that again. [banghead]
You think this is bad? Just wait until inflation kicks in.....

Today at 750 this morning I saw and I am not kidding ATSF 562 a B-40-8W in full red and sliver warbonnet as the sole power on a pig train of around 20 cars doing track speed and looking great doing it.
Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.

Sitting in Estill Springs TN two weeks ago I saw a Santa Fe U-boat in its original war bonnet red and silver paint scheme, and not looking to worse for wear! Couldn't make out the model, as it was switching with two other old Chessie units into our local feedmill, but it was sure odd to see that locomotive that looked just like an old Tyco HO model I had back in the late 60's, and switching here in South Central Tennessee.

Regards! Michaelson
