Super shot! Merry Christmas to you and Kathi!

Merry Christmas Lance.

Oh look it's the cute little SF rotary. Isn't it now painted in the pin stripe scheme, and very tired looking. If so when did they change it.
By the way nice shot Lance.

Nope, same scheme. but you hit the "tired looking" nail right on the head! Here she is wasting away in the back lot at the Topeka Shops...

Did the BNSF operate any rotaries on its system during 2014?

The very same for you & yours! I'm looking forward to another year of good shooting from my Tulsa gang pals!

The Lincoln plow made a trip to Galesburg last winter when the Mendota sub was snowed shut and one of the Amtraks got stuck but it was not used. The Lincoln plow still has not been used since it's rebuild.

I see that the plow is mu'ed to the first engine. Would the engineer actually be in and operating from the plow?

Good subject for this time of year Lance. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
