Catch of the Day |
| Description: |
Catch of the day! A repainted BC Rail C44-9LW coming back from Humboldt Yard as the WC headed to the Highline to get their BN cars The paint on this unit looked so nice and fresh, yet for some reason, they forgot to repaint the trucks. Check out all the lights this thing has on it too, I'm a fan of the double ditch lights. |

BC Rail Repaint |

A repainted BC Rail unit makes a trip to New Brighton on a very cold January morning. While I love the pain on this unit, I wonder why they didn't repaint the trucks... |

Rounding the Bend |
| Description: |
While I was killing time before class, my brother let me borrow his laptop so I could check the ATCS to see if the Withrow Sub was lined yet for L517. Sure enough, there was a route, and based on where it was, I had little time to get it. After heading over to Lexington Ave, I climbed up a snow drift where I fired off this shot of L517 coming around the curve with CN 2302 leading the way. |
