Thanks Mikey [:D]

I saw something unique tonight. Well maybe not to ED, but I saw UPY2300, a GG20GE.

I think Ed would say this is basically a copy of the MK2000s. [;)]

This one is suspose to be a Hybird and use less fuel.

Here is some info about it.

Pardon me for not keeping up with things on the east coast. [B)]

So they have the problems worked out now with the Acela?

That is good if so. I am sure the riders appreciate having them back. [;)]

the ones that have been repaired are back in service, but I don't think they're back up to 100% as of yet

The "Katrina" Crescent. 3 P42s, baggage, dorm, sleeper, sleeper, diner, lounge, baggage, dorm, sleeper, sleeper, diner, lounge, 4 coaches.

Cartier Alco [:0] in North Little Rock [;)]

The Cartier Alco # 34 is still hanging around. Rumor has it that it is headed for the Arkansas Railroad Museum. That would be a good home for it. [:p]

I also saw UP 6330 a patched SP unit.

-- A CN unit in some type of gray paint scheme
-- A former Wisconsin Central

All were on CSX and all were heading westbound but different trains

That CN unit may have been either WC or GTW, they both have sublettered units with the "noodle".

Oh yeah, I forgot what I was originally gonna post!!! [B)]

I saw a Sounder commuter car right behind the locomotives on Amtrak #7 today at 15:15 heading north (RR west) through Somers, WI.

....Still seeing {every few days}, long cuts of covered hopper cars on passing {side track}, in west Muncie....located on NS Frankfort line. They arrive and remain for a day or two and then they are picked up by another train and moved out....Don't even know which way they leave....Have never heard a rational reason for why this is a routine occurance.

Also, two Lake Erie, Franklin, and Clarion boxcars on the same freight

The UP 1982 (the Missouri Pacific Heritage unit) [:D] [:D] [:D]

Zach wanted me to call him and let him know when it arrived. He asked me if it was clean. I told him, "Yes." Then I got closer and noticed the bug splatters (but you have to be pretty close to see them [;)] ) . So Zach, I hope it looked clean to you. [;)] Several people turned out to take photos of it. [^]

It is a very nice looking unit and I was very surprised to be able to see it so soon. [:)] It is worth your time to see it if you can. [;)]

Zach saw it too, but I think that today he is busy editing his photos and trying to get them on a website. I think we might get to see some of his "movies" too. [;)] [:D]

QUOTE: railroad65: can't tell from picture if HIGH HOOD has been chopped or not...

The short hood is definitely high, not chopped. I got a shot of that end but it was a bit blurry because the train was moving.

QUOTE: orangebishop: I have some pics., but I'm not a protographer. I would like to share them but do not know how to send them.

First step is to open an account with one of the free picture hosting services on the internet. You can't actually upload pictures from your computer to this forum. You upload to one pf the photo hosting websites, then put a link in your post here with the photos 'direction'.

So step one is to open an account. Many of us use www.railimages.com. Another service is www.photobucket.com. But there are lots of them. Once you get the account set up, follow their instructions to upload your photos to their website.

With your photos uploaded, find the 'direction' of the photo by right clicking on the photo, then clicking on 'properties' in the drop down menu. The direction will look something like http://www.railimages.com/gallery/edmurphy/aga.jpg . Highlight the address and copy it.

In your post here, you type in right after (again, leaving out the space). That should do it.

Oh, one more thing, if you do use railimages, you have to change the word 'gallery' to 'albums' in the address.

Scroll up a few messages, right click on any of the photos that have been posted (then click on 'properties'), and you can see some of the different websites that people are using to host their photos. It will show up as part of the address of the photo.

Regards

Ed
