Modern Railroad, Yet Still Nostalgic in its Own Way |
Description: |
Crisp clean and fresh matching pair of Powerbars tied down near the North leg. After all my time on UP's system, seeing an old GP30 (rebuilt, but on the outside none the less a GP30) in fresh paint with a lone grafitti-free matching box car reminded me very much of something id see in a Rio Grande Pentrex video from a long gone era. |

BNSF 701 and Sister Unit Start Their Treck East |
Description: |
...as they come off the Seattle and on to the Fallbridge on the North leg after a crew change. Both 701 and 703 were delivered in the post-merger "identity crisis" variant of the Warbonnet on the Dash 9, displaying the new company's name on the side but retaining "Santa Fe" on the nose. As seen here, number 703 has been repainted for at least a few years. |
