I scored a small Canon on sale & will take it on vacation next year. Took it along on the train for a test run. Not too bad. SW
BN welders cutting in a new piece of rail. They have just ignited a thermite bomb to fuse the rail.

Bill ahoy! The wide spot called Bill is shown from about a mile away. The blue structure bottom center is the BN section house. Grey motel to the right & red Bill store to the left. Except for the rail yard, that's pretty much it.

Having a blast! The greasy yellow cloud is from a shot at N Rochelle mine. Toxic as heck!

Weather coming. The white spots are a gaggle goats (antelope) bunching up for a storm that's blowing in tomorrow.

Wanna buy a locomotive? Cheep? REAL cheep? There's a line of unusable EMD motors over a mile long in the yard @ S Morrill. Cracked frames & generally worn the heck out. I think the RR is waiting for the scrap metal market to peak out.

....you know there's a good batch of RRbuffs out there that would love this-even though it may be routine to you ...might be suprised that it'd bring in some Lira while you do fine tuning on "sappy novels"...
But we get trains over the road.
