Going by the old Maine Central siding at Stetson (more recently known as CPF-80), NMWA is rolling westbound at a steady 10 mph. Guilford painted GP40 351 is leading two more GP40s and about sixty cars on this pleasant summer evening.
A pair of C40-8s, led by CSXT 9280, are seen bringing L091 eastbound past the old searchlights at Stetson, still guarding a siding that doesn't exist anymore. Despite Pan Am retiring the CTC between Clinton and Northern Maine Junction back in 2017, they left the four remaining bracket masts that were still standing, allowing for a couple decent props.

I was sitting there with my camera at about lunch time, hoping that a hummingbird would stop by the flowers nearby. Then this gentleman came and sat at the table in front of me. I couldn't resist taking a few shots!
Wishing you all a very HAPPY Weekend and a HAPPY Father's Day to all the fathers here in the US!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
Stetson hats on display at F.M. Light & Sons, Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The store opened for business on November 9, 1905 and has been selling western hats, western wear and cowboy boots for 114 years from the same location. The name may not be familiar to you but I'm certain you have seen one of the dozens of hand painted bright yellow signs if you have traveled along U.S Highway 40 in Colorado. Many of the wooden signs are more than seventy years old and often contain several bullet holes.
This was taken on a winter morning in 1984 in the western reaches of the Mojave Desert known as the Antelope Valley. I was facing east southeast with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background and this beautiful backlit lenticular cloud filling the horizon.

Missouri Pacific SD40-2 #3153 leads a unit coal train at San Antonio, TX in March of 1986. I believe this picture was taken just west of Tower 112. With the crew members climbing down the steps and the caboose up front, I'm wondering if this train hadn't just been interchanged from MP to Southern Pacific.
