CSG 63 Jstn
Title:  CSG 63 Jstn
Description:  This little SW1 has been working the old Great Western Sugar processing plant in Johnstown forever. Dont know the exact rep marks for it so listed it here as 'CSG' [Colorado Sweet Gold {corn}] I had refrained from taking it's photo for so long as the security around the place seems to be quite 'cold' towards photography. However, i was there on a quiet sunday and everything seem to be buttoned up, so I poked my lens through the chain link and got this one shot! [Came out much better than i initially thought..original was somewhat overexposed and grainy!! {Thx. Fujifilm!!}]

Not the Place You'd expect to find a Thoroughbred!
Title:  Not the Place You'd expect to find a Thoroughbred!
Description:  I had to rub my eyes when i first saw this...I was taking my 'Sunday GW Loop tour' and came upon this dark horse with one of 'Uncle's' Horses idling away on the GW just south of Windsor. Quite the surprise, to say the least...

Not the Place You'd expect to find a Thoroughbred!
Title:  Not the Place You'd expect to find a Thoroughbred!
Description:  NS 8339 was 'born' June 1990 as Conrail 6094. She remained in CR Blue until mid 2008 before getting a coat of NS Black. I know this site has many NS fans, and from the many photos I've seen these black beauts can be tricky to photograph at times. Keeping that in mind, I overexposed my shot a bit and had the help of some spotty snow on the ground to brighten things up a little!

You can fault the handling, but not the View!
Title:  You can fault the handling, but not the View!
Description:  On November 9 I took advantage of what was likely our last day of really nice weather for the season and found this sweet little mishap on the GW at Kelim.. -It was not until later during the photo edit that I noticed; 1. "Hey, there's damage on this car!" 2. "Hey, there's a full blown Elk under the tree!!" -turns out the Elk is auctually a well placed sculpture on somebody's well heeled bit of pasture. The Rocky Mountain backdrop though, Colorado awesome!! -That's 14,000+ foot Long's Peak back there!

UP 218323KjctS5
Title:  UP 218323KjctS5
Description:  1 bitterly cold week later I stopped by and got this detailed view of the damaged car. Seems the B end/gear was quite literally ripped out..now that musta' hurt!! I will guess this car is still new enough to be repaired, likely at GW expense..{ouch!}!!

Why it took 2 weeks to 'Make my Day!
Title:  Why it took 2 weeks to 'Make my Day!
Description:  Until today i was blissfully unaware the UP had these Olymipc Torch units..a check here in RRPA showed 7 pages of photos for the 2001, so she's been quite a head turner! Apperanty this is her 1st. RRPA photo for 2015. 'Caught her sitting away the day in Greeley with 9751 and a parked ballast train, which had been sitting here for the better part of 2 weeks..making it possible the 2001 had been here all along right under my nose!!

Old Soo units never die...
Title:  Old Soo units never die...
Description:  And they get around, too! CEFX 6012 was in a UP consist on the BNSF's Denver main, waiting to come into the city. The 6012 shows evidence of 3 owners -original Soo [hats off..] boldly showing under the later [for a time leased to] INRD logo, itself defying the white patch job CEFX applied when they got the unit.

Old Soo units never die...
Title:  Old Soo units never die...
Description:  Another Soo, this one was caught at Greybull, WY. -Included in this album for Soo continuity..Like sister 6012, she was spared the dead line [3/13] and is getting around. In this instance sepia worked better than the color version.
