Larry I think you took a spray can out and painted that BN car either that or you had it stashed somewhere that you could get it out and make us drool. Great pics like the interburbans.

Nice catch with the Anniversary unit; also liked seeing pics of my "hometown" PE as well.

Nice catches of all the different trains today---neat that you got so much foreign power.

Good pictures.  It is very interesting how that green hoppers arrived in 2021 without any graffiti.
