The HERZOG [National Train Day 2013] - A Herzog work train sits on the setout spur off UP's North Canyon Siding in the Cajon Pass.

Just like cows that are put out to pasture, the same can be said to locomotives used for parts. 1116 sits out in the grass, a fixture to the yard along with the various pieces of a equipment.

This interesting set of Dupont equipment (with NS logos) is used to train fire departments on tank car/chemical safety. It was on CN in Proctor.

Basically a heavily modified GP38 used to power this slot train.

CN 1501, a Budd RDC Track Evaluation Car, makes a pass along T3 on the Oakville Subdivision in between GO and VIA trains.

A Northbound Herzog work extra enters Canyon siding on the Palmdale Cutoff as a BNSF Eastbound passes to the left.
