Former CB&Q unit, not dressed for the occasion. In fact somebody put on a GP9 door under the cab. Photo by Tony Vanier. From my collection.

Apparently retired, this unit came late in the production run. Interesting modifications for radio control. Photo by Jim Satterwhite, from my collection.

Good view of the crew accommodation in the short hood. Tex-Mex did this on some units. Photo by unknown. From my collection.

One of those days when you say "it doesn't get much better than this". Here a northbound L&N train passes thru after running from St. Paul on rights over NS.

Interesting trucks on this unit. They are the old style. Note the "tabs" on the truck casting between the axles. These were more common on earlier 6-axle units.

With Southern being the big show in Chattanooga, L&N moved its main yard south of town right on the Georgia line. Here a grizzled old vet shows years of hard work at the small engine facility.

Helping build houses after Katrina still allowed some time to get out and shoot some "exotica" after NS black. Another renumbering.

An SD70M-2 leader nose tagged with snow thanks to storms brewing in the states back West it passed thru.

Three BNSF-pairs at the Barstow Yard: Two are shunting, one is waiting.

CP far away from home at the Barstow Yard.

A lot of locs and carriages in the yard.

Shunting diesel locs are pushing the carriages on the hump.

12 locs and a few hundred carriages at Barstow Yard.
