top: the MLW unit that has been basking in the CO sun for nearly a decade still sits, unused and abused at Ordway, CO, on a spur off the former MP former DRGW main which, by the way, looks to be in excellent shape.
middle: a quick stop to get a shot of the former C&O ALCO trucks SD18 at the grain elevator in Coolidge, KS, which also had a BNSF grain train spotted.
bottom: lucked out as on leaving the above shot a headlight was visible approaching into the afternoon sun light. Did not expect to see this westbound empty auto rack train also at Coolidge, KS.

Jim, First one is def not running. 2nd shot, the SD18 at Coolidge, it runs. Have seen it working quite a few times. Used to help spot the cars at the facility. BNSF power, from what I have seen, has them spotted west of the facility on siding. Ben
