I love my sunsets.

I was thrilled to see yet another heron in The Pantanal. They were very skittish except when we were in a canoe with no sound from a motor. When I saw this heron I thought it looked a lot like a Green Heron and Wikipedia says that is another name for them.

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Another nice sunset squeezed in between gray, dreary days.

Once the sun set, everybody got together for a nighttime photo shoot of 5704. Even Mike Haverty stopped by. Special thanks to everyone involved with the night shoot.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Mid-America Car and Locomotive is simply a cut above when it comes to a quality paint job.

These skilled craftsmen take pride in their work and were so helpful all through the process to get this unit to where it is. THEY wanted to make sure it was perfect. While walking around the unit during QC checks they fixed everything like they were working on their own vehicle. They made 49 years of abuse look like it never happened.

ATSF 5704 resting in the evening sun at Kansas City Union Station. This unit was the result of 18 months of hard work bringing it back to its original 1976 spec. Before cosmetic restoration, this unit was GN 6484. Better yet, it was the original 5704. It was due to be scrapped in Memphis before being donated in early 2020. The next leg of its journey is to the Southern California Railroad Museum where it will be operationally restored.
