Remarks & Notes

When I was first in New York City; the one time I was in the subway without my camera was the time a diesel powered work train passed by. Of all the luck! (Although it was on the wrong track.) Five months later; I was back; and after getting off a subway train at Borough Hall in Brooklyn; we were winding around the tunnels for the exit closest to our destination and turned the corner to discover … a diesel powered work train! I could not believe that I'd stumbled upon this again; and this time with camera in hand. MTA 55 is a 45-ton GE diesel-electric locomotive; one of six R-41 class diesels built from December 1967 through February 1968. We exited here to go to the MTA's museum; whose collection includes - ironically - another of these diminutive GEs (in that case; a 35-tonner).

From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.
