Pure determination and pure muscle doing everything possible to throw the cowboy off her back. The horses viewpoint.

Colorado’s Minturn Yard is bustling with new Southern Pacific GE AC4400CWs on September 5, 1995. To the right on the main line, a helper set trailed by No. 143 returns from pushing tonnage up the 3% grades east (south) of town, while SP No. 280 leads three others on the point of an eastbound coal load waiting for the helpers to pass so it can head east to add two sets of manned helpers to the heavy train. Another AC4400CW helper set led by No. 276 (not in the picture yet) will be cut into the 105-car train 58 cars back, while a second helper set led by No. 200 will be cut in 15-cars from the rear. Ten scarlet and gray AC4400CWs and three crews will soon muscle the hulking train up to the top of Tennessee Pass. Today, Minturn Yard is empty, rusting and sad…

Union Depot Train Days 2022 started off right with the ever-popular night photo shoot.

 

This year, 7 locomotives (a train days record) were in attendance. The stars of the show of course were the SD45s sent down from Duluth, including GN 400, the Hustle Muscle.

 

The last time I saw Hustle Muscle she was awaiting a new SD45-2 engine to replace the old one that suffered a broken crankshaft. It was around this time that GNRHS elected to have 400 leave MTM's Jackson Street Roundhouse and return to Duluth, where it had been for much of its time pre-Millenium but post-retirement from BN.

 

The scene is complete with an illuminated "1st" sign, a popular background feature at many night shoots at SPUD. It's fitting, as GN 400 was the first locomotive to be displayed at Union Depot during the first "Train Days" in 2014 (not to mention the 1st production SD45).

 

To date, Hustle Muscle has made three appearances at Union Depot Train Days, tied-most with Milwaukee Road 32A, which was also in attendance this year.

 

A personal thank you to everyone involved to make Union Depot Train Days 2022 happen. Haven't missed a Train Days yet, hoping the streak will continue. Also thanks to Steve Glischinski & Chris Guss for organizing another phenomenal night photo shoot.

Dodge Charger R/T

Production period 1968/1970.

Dodge Chargers are a great choice for a muscle car restoration project.

Aside from the base 318ci V8, the 383ci motor was offered in both two or four-barrel versions, producing 290 and 330 horsepower, respectively.

On the top of the engine option list was the 375 horsepower 440 Magnum and the legendary 426 Hemi.

 

Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have a Great Week. 🌞✌

My husband was in the hospital 4-3-06 (Baylor Hospital, Dallas, TX), and the construction going on outside his window (3rd floor) was fascinating. These guys are risk-takers!

As my kayak inadvertantly drifted toward the hangout of the notorious Laughing Gulls gang on Armand Bayou, they sent out an enforcer to suggest an alternate route.

Great Northern SD45 #400, "Hustle Muscle" leads the North Shore Scenic Railroad's weekly "Two Harbors Turn".

 

This particular excursion (as of 2025) operates once a week on Thursdays, while the "Duluth Zephyr" and "Pizza Express" run Fridays-Sundays.

 

GN 400 is paired with former Northern Pacific 245, which was also fired up and humming along on this diesel double-header. Naturally, a short chase was in order.

 

Seeing GN 400 run is like seeing an old friend, as it was 10 years ago it operated in Osceola, WI while on lease to MTM, where I volunteered at the time. The locomotive had an eventful decade since, getting a new 20-645 engine and being re-homed to Duluth. It doesn't operated much, but has seen regular service on most of LSRM's trains in June and now July.

 

Here the train departs the museum as it traditionally does by shoving out of the depot and onto the NSSR mainline.

That's one seriously muscle-bound insect! By comparison, humans have just 629 muscles in a considerably larger body.

 

The caterpillar's head capsule alone consists of 248 individual muscles, and about 70 muscles control each body segment. Remarkably, each of the 4,000 muscles is innervated by one or two neurons.

 

Caterpillars have 12 eyes.

On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. One of the 6 eyelets is usually offset a bit, and located closer to the antennae. You would think an insect with 12 eyes would have excellent eyesight, but that's not the case. The stemmata serve merely to help the caterpillar differentiate between light and dark. If you watch a caterpillar, you'll notice it sometimes moves its head from side to side. This most likely helps it judge depths and distances.
