CN only painted one locomotive to promote the 1986 Worlds Fair in Vancouver. Here it is pulling the westbound "Okanagan Express" passenger special across the Thompson River at Lytton, British Co... (more)

VIA #6304 sits at the former Canadian National terminal in Vancouver. In the morning she will head east. The glowing dome on the left is part of the newly-opened 1986 Worlds Fair.

Even in 1984 this was a rare lashup. Five first-generation SDs and GPs pulling a long mixed freight. The engine music was terrific!

Remote-controlled AS616 #367 rumbles through Ensley, AL. I believe the guy with the Ghostbusters backpack is the operator. I also think this unit was re-engined with and EMD engine. I saw one r... (more)

8444 crosses the Mojave River on the way to Los Angeles to celebrate Union Station's 50th birthday.

Is this the deep south or what? A very late 611, returning to Jacksonville, FL from Valdosta, GA, crosses the Suwanee River near Fargo, GA. It was the last shot of the day, so we spent the rest ... (more)

5256 is only a few months from her purchase from Amtrak and conversion to freight service as an SDF40-2. She still looks fresh as she glides past a brand-new station sign at Edwards, CA.

Without a diesel, 4449 creates a classic image as it crosses over the Carquinez Strait on the Benicia Bridge. Wish I could make that other bridge dissapear!

Commuter Cadillacs! Both of SP's steam generator-equipped SD9s lead commute train #56. 4450 and 4451 were known as "Huff and Puff". I believe that's Tunnel #3 in background.
