After arriving a couple weeks earlier, the 4611 is still in Vardo Yard, teamed with a GP38-2.

A very nice consist neads north with Guilford and a NS slugset trailing. This elevator (Martins) is one of NS's largest local customers.

The scene in Hancock which hasn't changed much over the years. Only when the widecabs go by does this scene look any different.

Something very new meets something very old. Note the tower and manual switch machines are still in use, if you look in the window you can see part of the operator's shadow.

A sweet consist on 25T.

A sweet treat of CP power on 37Q. A run is swollen from heavy downpours that resulted in flash floods, three days earlier, offering a reflection.

It looks like they are building a tunnel to get to the roundhouse from the station in Martinsburg, where a SD50 blows past the roundhouse during a festival.

UP leads a D940C and a C39-8 on the hotshot 203. Check out the monument's shadow on the bridge pier.

A nice treat to see a candy apple alongside the throughbreds!

The D773 heads to pick up a couple cars from NS as the CCS switcher basks in the sunlight.

Lucky number 13 leads the Capitol Limited westbound as he leans into a curve at speeds over 65 mph. Special thanks to Andrew Blaszczyk.

My last photo of 2005... A good year...... A pair of units still in Conrail livery prepare to head south. The crew did not arrive yet and this was taken from a grade crossing.
