All these years, I never knew this was a 'created' ramp until I looked at it closely, seeing it was an old flat car, the bar graph can be seen between the reddish rectangular box and smaller rectangular box with the darker verticle rust spot. |

Amtrak 141 |
| Description: |
Late afternoon Amtrak, with a great sounding horn. At first I thought it was a Nathan P5 (somewhat common on NS), but then it sounded like a newer GEVO horn, mixed with a P5........then Amtrak came around the curve. Not sure what horn it was, but sounded great. You can barely make out the large trumpets on top. |

Not one, but two |
| Description: |
These days, seeing one SD40-2 is fairly rare, but how many times do we get to see two, low light SD40-2's? Pretty rare sight if you ask me. These were switching out Aberdeen (NC) Yard, getting ready to blast off North to Raleigh. The 8049 has had its horn moved to the middle of the long hood, while the 8058 retains its horn on the front of the cab. |

Southern Caboose |

This ex Southern caboose sits in Pullin Park downtown Raleigh NC. There is also a minature train you can or could ride on around the entire park. I remember the cook at our fraturnity house at NC State used to operate the train when I was there in the 80's. The park is closed for renovations so I couldn't tell if all the tracks had been pulled up or not. |

White SW |

I spotted this SW butthead on the 'explosives track' near Yard A Hump tower. No ID on this, only ting is the BNSF flat it is sitting on and the green/white colors. A stab in the dark and not really BN color scheme.......anyone know where this may be heading and where it came? |

| Title: |
Mooresville dpeot |
| Description: |
Another angle of the depot. This is along NS operated tracks, although not sure if it is used often. The track appeared to be smaller weight and jointed track. Notice the crossing lights under the awning of the depot. Don't see that too often. |
