Saw Amtrak SB Silver Service south of Kississimee and the Taft local Dec 17.

The SB Silver Service had 11 cars one P42 on the head end ... typical.

Just saw the tail end of the Taft local while I was heading north to Kississimee.
"There is nothing in life that compares with running a locomotive at 80-plus mph with the windows open, the traction motors screaming, the air horns fighting the rush of incoming air to make any sound at all, automobiles on adjacent highways trying and failing to catch up with you, and the unmistakable presence of raw power. You ride with fear in the pit of your stomach knowing you do not really have control of this beast." - D.C. Battle [Trains 10/2002 issue, p74.]

Last Night I caught the CP Christmas Train in Portage WI. I got a couple of Okay shots, but nothing great:

It was okay, but I think I liked the train better in other years, the Rope lights just don't look the same as the bulb lights. I did like the Chase effect though, and if they could just do that with bulb lights......

The WSOR ran a supprise train on my today, running the Local train up to Reedsburg in the Middle of the day. Unfortunately I was in school, and I didn't even know the train was comming until I was on my way home from school. I only saw the train from a far, as it had already passed by the crossing, so I didn't get any engine numbers. But it was definately a WSOR train!
