This may be the only time I caught red and yellows in the Flagstaff area. We would go to California during the red and yellow era. When we start going to Arizona, the red and yellow were pretty mu... (more)

A Union Pacific eastbound departs North Platte's Bailey Yard on a summer's morning. This is a scene repeated several times per hour all day long on the UP's incredibly busy Kearny Sub across the ... (more)

A nice looking L&N restoration rests on the wye as a former CSX switcher rolls past sounding a horn of a collector during the Horns in the Holler event.

Oh, the west and its magnificent scenery. A geologist's dream. This Kodachrome is grinding uphill on an eastbound. Alleged folks used to sunbathe in the nude down by the creek here but I never w... (more)

Christmas Eve in the desert.

A brand new Conrail C30-7A is used in maintenance of way service in Chicago.

Derelict but largely intact these two old dinosaurs caused a quick u turn when spotted them where we certainly didn’t’t expect them.

The 3 Tilden heads back to Eagle Mills with two C30-7's on point. The 3074 was built as BN 5531 in 1977.

LSI's 3 Tilden heads south through Palmer Line Junction on the way to load up at Tilden Mine.

The afternoon 3 Tilden runs through the rock cut at Eagle Mills Junction with LSI 3074 leading. Tilden was putting out tons of ore this weekend and really made for a good show.

The second train running as the 7 Tilden heads back to Eagle Mills with another load of ore. Multiple AC4400CW's were down this weekend making the duo of C30-7's in constant use.

LSI 3074 slows its train down to enter Tilden Mine. Here they are running along a small pond just outside of Palmer.

The 7 Tilden makes another run back to Palmer to get a second train of ore loads. The 3074 was built in 1977 for the Burlington Northern.

LSI 3073 pulls out of Eagle Mills Yard to make a shove move. The LS&I at the time still had searchlight signals all over their trackage.
