Well there was little or no sun as was predicted but that didn't stop us from shooting some PICS today. Here are a few that I liked, the rest are on Webshots "Recent Photo's" album.

Hope you enjoy

That sounds correct to me. This PIC kinda confirms it.

Yep, those cars do belong to Department of Defense. I've noticed three different styles of them:
*Yellow 89 foot flat cars
*Green 85 or 89 foot heavy duty flat cars w/three axle trucks
*Red flat cars, anywhere from 60 to 75 feet
Plus, I've noticed a few TTX's mixed in as well.
