A west local is crossing the PC and C&O diamonds while crossing over on mains leaving the yard in Fostoria, Ohio. The local with N&W RS11 2862 a former NKP unit is on home rails on December 8, 1973.
Hard to believe but this was my first blue BCOL C44-9W leading on a train. In all of my years of photographing trains, this was one of the most elusive units for me to capture leading.
Today was a pretty crummy day for myself and some time trackside was needed to clear the mind and BCOL 4645 did a pretty decent job at helping with that.

There has always been a certain mystique and fascination of the travelling the railways for me. Children back when I was growing up were riding trains at malls. We rode trains at amusement parks. I've travelled on the Southwest Chief to Chicago. Something about the clickety clack going down the track that gets me excited everytime I see a train go by or pass over these beauties.

Second image in my exploration of an abandoned train station in Milltown, Co. Galway, Ireland. The station was closed in 1963, though the line continued to be used through the 1970s. Video: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=210053260361649
As many opine for the days when the Bozeman Local ran like clockwork and with clean power, no doubt people such as Mark Hemphill yearn for when the MRL #405 plied the rails as DRGW #3047. Although the tonnage on this day won't make a dent in the speed, even with a 1.9% grade ahead, the #405 undoubtedly saw mountain territory in its previous life. The #3047 was one of 22 GP35's delivered to the DRGW between 1964/65. Like most of the GP35 fleet, it lasted just about 28 years, being retired in Dec 1993 along with 17 others. An interesting note is that all 22 GP35's were made to be trailing unit only in 1972, removing cab seats, toilets and radios. I am unsure if this lasted until their retirement or if they were made lead qualified again at some point. Thanks to utahrails.net for the great details! Its an interesting note that by now the #405 has spent close to or more time on the Montana Rail Link than it did the Denver and Rio Grande Western. Time marches on!

If you look closely, two pigeons are just escaping from running retro "Hrbatá". Might be my first encounter with a photo "ruined" by a bird.
