Adam your second pic is really nice. I alway's liked the WP's silver and orange paint scheme. Thank's for posting. Bill

Love the second shot(obvious)! Back in the good old days when you could fix your own "boo-boo". Hence the "rerail" frog on the rear of each unit! Anyone recognize the head brakie?

Nice shots but great catch on the trio of orange and silver.

Excellent. Both nice but I love that WP shot. From the position and body language of the brakeman on the WP train, it looks like they're about to take a siding or hit some other point where he needs to drop off and throw a switch.

Both pictures nice, the first one looks like the last hurrah of the 20 cylinder power on the BN, most were stored or back out for grain trains.
