November 2005

Apparently someone doesn’t like their locomotive:

The highlight of the lunch hour was a Centralia Coal empty with a brand new ES44AC on the point. I heard him get permission to come through the yard and wanted to get a couple shots. I still think the “power bar” looks like shit on the nose of these things, but at least it was clean.

My first shot was entering CTC at 8th Street. One of these days I’ll remember to do something different here like climb up onto my truck for some elevation:

I drove out to Wintler where this guy was going to stop and wait before heading east. A few months ago they put in a bunch of concrete barriers where foamers used to park, along with huge “No Parking — Tow Away Zone” signs all along any area for parking. Sure, I could’ve drove down near Wintler Park and used one of the official parking lots, but I’m a lazy guy on a lunch break. When in doubt, just stop your pickup in the middle of the (not at all busy) road, hop out, take your shot, and get back in:
