GWR freight loco No3822 simmers away in the Loco works waiting for its next duties out on the mainline
I decaled and weathered this Penn Central SD45 and lent it to my friend Kyle (who took this photo) to enjoy for a while. He took this loco, along with his blue SD45, and some of his freight cars to another friend's railroad, that of Dave Weber.
This hobby is a lot more fun with good friends who can team up like this to share trains, railroad, tips, ideas, photos, etc.
It's early November and the morning air is downright chilly after an overnight snowfall, but it's business as usual at the Horicon terminal, as the Janesville bound freight T4H prepares to depart Horicon.

BNSF H-BARSDG1-26A rolls along Torrey Pines State Beach and the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Del Mar, California. Daylight freight isn't on the regular schedule on this absurdly busy single-track commuter railroad. However, delays and recrews periodically will force the dispatchers to squeeze the "BarDiego" through in between all of the Amtrak, Metrolink, and Coaster traffic. Even during summer high sun, seeing this freight snake its way along the Coast is a wonderful sight.
When the Lehigh Valley bought C628’s from Alco in 1965, they were delivered in a striking white, black and red paint scheme and were dubbed “snowbirds” by the local fans. Variants of the snowbird scheme were applied to several classes of freight cars, including this fifty foot covered hopper seen here at Enola, Pennsylvania two years after the LV ceased to exist.

In the winter spirit, Lewts and I painted this winter tribute freight the other day. Had been wanting to do this for a while. In retrospect, I might have changed a few things...
The light was horrible and the loco LHF but freight was in short supply on this trip so you take what you can get. 2062 019 roars uphill with a hopper train.
With more letters in its name than miles in its route, the Lake Erie Franklin and Clarion Railroad joined the per-diem boxcar craze of the late 1970’s. Here one of those cars passes through Allentown, Pennsylvania.
A westbound Burlington Northern freight passes through the North Dakota Badlands at Sully Springs on August 9, 1991. The train is powered by EMD SD40-2 No. 6926, mated with one of BN’s unique GE B30-7A “B unit” No. 4043. BN originally had a fleet of 120 of these 3,000 h.p. cabless locomotives built between June 1982 and October 1983 and numbered 4000-4119.
