Bravo on the shots of the old DT&I. Those could be right out of the 90's with the GTW unit in the lead.

Nice bunch. Really like that first one, nice job. Who is it crossing?

Nice catches!!

Nice catches.   What are you using for bait?
 

Sad how that old GTW unit looks. I grew up next to the GTW as a kid way back when the GTW was still the GTW. I don't ever recall any of their locomotives looking that bad. They used to take a certain amount of pride in how their equipment and physical plant looked.

Back in March of 2015, that GTW 4929 had a little bruise to its nose. I've been kind of keeping that number in my memory bank hoping to see it here in Battle Creek. But I haven't yet.

Might you have gotten any other photographs of it that show the end that needed the Earl Scheib $99.99 special?

Thanks....

Ron

Maybe on the "original" GT side of things, but they let things go to pot on the ex DT&I in a hurry...

Very nice work, especially #1 & 2. Any idea on how long those arches go?

CSX's Lincoln Secondary. Pennford is their name for it.

Great shot under the DT&I arches. I was going to go there last fall, but got talked out of it by others on TO saying it was not likely I would get a train under it. Glad you did, and GT on the point to boot! === === = === JLH

SWEET!!
