Here are four shots from the neat little Mikes time in Fillmore this past Saturday. Have to say, having never seen this engine before, it is one sweet locomotive. I fell in love at first sight. It was in SoCal for a 20th Century feature film shoot. Posting the pics in reverse (to be contrarian - if that really is a word) First image is the closest I got to sweet light, long after all the other railfans departed, the Mike switches three "Benzini Brothers Circus" box cars for the film "Water for Elephants." http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=324736 Second image is of the switching of the Benzini Brothers cars (there's an ex CNW F7 pushing that open vestibule car). http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=324644 Third is a pic of the Mike crawling onto the turntable near the SP depot. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=324526 And final shot is my attempt to be artistic... a teenage couple in love takes a break from their swim to watch the Baldwin back over the Sespe Creek. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=324561 Thanks for looking... and corrections are always welcome.
