Great pics Deano, thanks for taking time for the tour:thumb::thumb:
Jim, THANK YOU!, i really appreciate it:smilie: . it took a great amount of time to put the "IRM" post together, being a dial-upper didn't help either:roller: . the truth is, i did that post TWICE, the first time i was doing it i was 6 pictures from finishing it(out of over 80 pics), but i hit the wrong button, and lost EVERYTHING:eeki::frowns: . I was so ticked off i was just going to quit, but Wayne's "pep talk" got me to redo it that night:thumb: .
Hey Deano....No need to apologize for those pics....Trains is trains..!!! :thumb:
If you've got more...let's see 'em....
THANKS GUS!, GLAD you liked them:thumb: .
Deano, thank you for that Baldwin :thumb:. It is a pity that no one makes an affordable plastic model of it.
Oh BTW, talking about plastic models. Did you see that Athearn is planning to do a Genesis UP Gas Turbine in 2009?

And I even found a prototype picture of this experimental gas turbine from 1953. Here is the link (though I am sure, you already have this pic in your vast UP archive):

On my side of the tracks...
After work, i headed over to WSOR's yard in search of Fallen flag freight, WHAT LUCK:mrgreen: , there were three strings of CNW coal hoppers there, about a total of 25-30 cars. notice the graffiti primed over, good way to get rid of that rubbish. i posted some of these in the "Fallen Flag freight" thread, here's one of them...
Here's an oddity, check out the paint scheme on this side of the RailBox...
Now heres the other side of the SAME Railbox(check the #'s:winki: ) ALSO, notice how the top of the roof is pushed up from forklifts pulling cargo out of it.
Here's a composite mech reefer, not much rust is going to be on this car:winki:
I was just about to leave WSOR, when these four UP MP15's FLEW by on the interchange track, man they were going fast. i have noticed since the MP15AC showed up at the Harvard sub, its always the engine on the point, then the MP15DC's, i wonder if the AC is better then the DC's, or just a "new toy":119: .
After that i decided to head over to UP's yard, i noticed they put a new sign up too...
I went to the North end of the yard first, not much anywhere up front to get shots of:frowns: , i DID notice about 8-10 Dash-9's & AC4400's in the middle of the yard, but sadly i have no access to that part of the yard, LEGALLY.
Hey folks, sure i am all about trying to get the best shots i can:thumb: , but UP's yard is HUGE, and VERY BUSY, so getting in there, well, it just don't happen without getting busted. ALWAYS REMEMBER FOLKS, saying "Well Deano(insert excuse here)...." DOES NOT hold up in a court of law:119: , so when railfanning, DON'T BREAK THE LAW:winki: . ANYWAYS, i went to the South end of UP's yard, it was slam packed with Autoracks, i found this neat Fallen Flag there...
Well, that sums up todays trip:thumb: .
Sorry for all the rail fanning pics lately, haven't been modeling much
ops: , i have a few new cars to build and weather, among MANY other projects:roller: , just need to get motivated to do them.
Till next time...Stay on track!:winki:
