Railroad Photography...employees in action
(Preview)
I'm amazed looking back at the pictures I took when I was in my teens how it seemed most rails were "hams" for a chance to get into a picture. During my time on the railroad and taking pictures from anywhere on company property and being a known employee to all the GPNW BN/BNSF train crews, I...

"The Juice Train"...or "Orange Blossom Special"...what is correct?
(Preview)
Think we have enough experts in place (members) that can bring us up to date on one of the most famous trains still running today. A train that I just heard about through music. The Orange Blossom Special. 100's of artists have covered that song. Saw this video today that I think is pretty "innovat...

My first real visit to a "East Coast" railroad town was Harrisburg Pa. Most of my vacations in the 1980's-90's were to locations where I could catch 3 nights of sprintcar racing and railfan during the day. Harrisburg Pa. is just such a place where the best of both worlds collide. Have to say a...

Railfanning Soldier Summit in Sept 1994. Had a great day with my video camera. It was just one train after another at the summit. So on the way back down the hill I snapped a shot of this DRGW Eastbound. Well this "5531" F45 in a Santa Fe paint scheme has been a bugger for me to find anything on it....

Morrison Knudsen is a well known name in the locomotive business and in the global-construction business. This huge company has earned atleast 3 different AAR Reporting marks and others that are less confusing. So for this GP7 sitting in Kansas City (might have a Sulzer motor) what might its report...
