WB "Desert Wind" #35 with a mix of high level cars.

Rare to see the ill-fated SDP-40f running with the new guy on the block. This is the WB "Las Vegas Special".

Eastbound "California Zephyr" back in the days of material handling cars.

Eastbound "Desert Wind" on the south track with I-15 in the background. I took many more pictures on later visits than I did when I lived here!

Among the very first GP-38s built were those owned by Clinchfield. This one is stored in the Willams yard as evidenced by the 1/2 55 gallon drums used as stack caps (not a bad idea).

Originally CRR, then SCL these units always seemed to be an odd buy for the Clinchfield and anecdotal evidence is that they went to SCL because they were being damaged if they rocked at all inside... (more)

This ex-SCL unit is nicely reserviced and heading for "the field" to await assignment to an outbound train.

At least some of their units got this nice paint scheme before CSwhatever came along.

Okay, when was the last time you saw three of these on one train. Have all of these been assigned to this area? This could not occur by accident. V-40 is tied up tonight in Abingdon. Today's c... (more)

The retired caboose on display is almost as amazed as I was to see 3 units of the same model on the WB local. The crew died on the law so the old crummy will probably get to contemplate the train... (more)

A branch used to run from Carbo for several miles north. It started as an CRR line accessed by trackage rights over N&W. N&W acquired the line but in recent years it was not operated north of th... (more)

Looking positively irridescent this unit is returning empties to the coalfields.

In one of the classiest paint jobs around, somewhere in the Frankfurt am Main area. These B-B diesel-hydraulics were built by several manufacturers, including Krupp and some are still around. HP... (more)

A fairly neat patch job is on this nee-C&NW unit leading SB coal. BNSF and UP abounded.
