The weather overcast skies in the first part of the day weren't very favorable for shooting pictures. It was nice that blue sky finally made its way in. Without many details here are the pictures. Overall, nothing really special just average traffic. A CP train led by a couple SOO SD60s brought a mixed train west. The train had several pipe cars in it. My eyes were drawn off the train for a bit and I lost count around 40 cars or so. http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992606826/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992610372/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992603918/ Other traffic: HERZOG: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992606014/ Two UP units lead three CP units east. Interesting to not, but no picture, that there was an ILSX switcher was placed in the middle of the train. http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1991827809/ A Trackmobile pulling a string of cars onto the RIPS track: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992622118/ A single CP GE taking a string of cars west: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1991802373/ A roster shot of the RLCX unit that works the auto unloading facility: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992614902/ Westbound empties: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992633048/ A meet under the Warner Road overpass: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992605168/ Eastbound BNSF Grain: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1992602648/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/ Am I correct to assume that these belt assembly provided power to the caboose? I've also seen this on others as well, however it seems that not all cabooses have this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/11254161@N08/1991816421/ Thanks for looking/reading! NOTE: Somewhat off topic here but to avoid speculation and to clarify to avoid possible confusion, I am still running my website. I have decided that all non-gallery quality images (based off of my own critiquing) will be hosted at Flickr. That way I can save bandwidth on my personal site and keep only my favorite and best shots on my site to keep it more professionally looking. If you have any comments on this please e-mail or PM me. Thanks! |

Glad to see someone got out on what was probably one of the last nice days of the year! Nice shots, John! I'd agree with your website comment. Seems that it would make sense to keep a tougher requirement for the "outside world" to see. -Nat |
