Western Railroad Discussion > Low Light on an H-1Date: 01/16/22 04:09 Low Light on an H-1 Author: santafe199 I use the term “Low Light” as a shameless cover-up for some plain, old crappy overcast weather. But that IS a BNSF H-1 paint job we’re playing stare-down with. Under a cantilever searchlight, no less! That oughtta count for something... :^)

I remember one of my very first experiences with the (then) brand-new 900s in the mid-90s. I didn't have much trouble getting used to the new paint. But I had quite a time getting used to how bleeping easy it was to let 3 of them get too frisky and snap a knuckle 7 deep on a unit grainer... Oops......... :^( Date: 01/16/22 14:18 Re: Low Light on an H-1 Author: coach Now that's a cool cantilever--simple, but effective, unlike the overbuilt ones they're installing these days.
