Nice...........

I agree about your last shot. Sometimes a scene without a train captures other satisfying results such as the beauty of our country that we don't see everyday. Thank you for showing us some of that beauty.

NIce trio!

I love your third photo with the composition of a favorite piece of railroad that I occasionally ran over.

I agree with everyone else, the third photo is great.  We railfans want trains but with very few exceptions, any railfan outing usually results in more track watching than train watching.  The American West is a beautiful place with or without trains.  Thanks for sharing.

i can't even tell you how many times I've seen the crust balls leading fresh repaints lately! Happy the original AC's are finally getting some love. Nice shots.

last shot great too, funny how those dreaded pole lines used to be in the way, now its always nice to see them in a picture.

And they'll soon be gone as they've been deactivated.

I don't know Chris, you captured some damn good scenes up here in the
Willamette Valley when it was home! Sometimes I kinda' wish that this was still home for you.    8>(

It was painted within the last few months. Prior to that it had been a patch for 13+ years.
