This Brownhoist heavy crane & boom car are quite an impressive sight. She looks to me, like she can lift quite a bit more than the newer OHIO's. Well I think her more interesting to look at anyway... (more)

One of the few remaining bay window Southern Pacific Caboose's. Her paint is a bit worn and perhaps thin . . . but she looks to be in good condition. Please note the Union Pacific, Ogden Passenger... (more)

This is the only Rio Grande Caboose that I am aware of in my area.

A double or split window view of the world that only the GE 8500 Turbine crews had. What a beautiful view of the open rail ahead this must have been . . . modern in a way even still.

I was able to take this view inside the king of kings today, the cab of UP 6916 a DD40X. I just can not get over how big this twin engine single unit is. Or what it would be like to take a double ... (more)

The business end of OWR&N's steam powered rotary snow blower. This variable pitched blade must be fifteen feet across. A six foot something man won't come up to the center hub. I would love to hea... (more)

I thought this Scale Test Car (MPX 194) an interesting find for my day's outing. I don't often get to see a scale car, except back in the mid-west. It was in the last third of a mixed freight cons... (more)

Leaving the Ogden yard, UP 4400 and CSXT 7317 start toward the Great Salt Lake and the west coast with a load of empty auto cars and the second half of double stack containers.

I felt very lucky to get this nice cab shot of SP 3769 today. That single window does not give the engineer, that much field of vision. You can see why the current cabs of today are much bigger an... (more)

This beauty still looks as though it shuttles cars around the Union Station's retired car yard. A fitting job for a "Geep," and one of my favorite engines of all time.

This GE Turbine, UP 26 is one of the biggest engines I have ever seen, the A-B units with fuel tender are quite an impressive sight. They reach the length of the covered portion and then some . . ... (more)

This Union Pacific is only one of a half dozen or so that are left in the intermountain west. We used to see them all the time . . . way back when.

Cache Valley Branch UP 2529, UP 2575 and UP 2527, bring a consist of only three tank cars to Cache Junction for main line pick up. One of these engines will most likely be moved south to Ogden or ... (more)

The first three silos are ready for 'the move.' This caused quite a stir in this small town . . . lol.
