Another day |
| Description: |
Using the wide end of my 18-55mm, I give some thought into what I usually do down at Northtown, which is most of the time spent on this ancient bridge (Carnegie steel and all), and how its scheduled to be torn down in the coming years. So since the prop was here, the sun was just rising, and nothing else was happening, I snapped a shot that opitimizes my mornings spent at the yard. |

UP 7008 |
| Description: |
Ive seen a model of a GECX AC44 in UP colors, and always wondered if they were real. Well, if you notice the numbers on the cab arent the same font, and have not black borders, and then between the ON in Union and P in Pacific you'll notice a patch. This was one of those units. |

My kind of Dash 2 |
| Description: |
With a bold statement on the 8049, you can surely see that some employees weren't in favor of the merger. This unit even has a spray painted logo that was stenciled on. |

How to get screwed out of a shot at Northtown 101: First thing, make sure your fully ready and excited for the train at hand. Second, take a few test shots, making sure your exposure is correct, and your shot level. Third, get ready to cuss at one of the pullout jobs......... |

| Description: |
Although a piece of fence is included in this image, the sound and circumstance was too much to ignore. In the land of widecabs, even GEVO's to say it simpler, when you have none present, its exactly that, a gift. After this night, I saw both of these units leave town on trains, the 7922 left on the TACBLU, and the 7146 had the NTWKCK. |
