Got some color today! Gonna get toasty again

Great stuff today Larry.  The 900 looks good in that paint and great catch of the CP power set.

Interesting line up today! Do you ever go for a long walk to get different angles. Seem's like a walk perpendicular to the tracks in either direction could give us another view on the day's trains.

With all the BNSF employees running around the area, I try to stay as inconspicuous as possible to keep up the sofar good relationship. I'd rather they wave at me than turn me in as a tresspasser, lol. Sofar everything has worked out well.
