Along with taking photographs, I have an obsession with tracking locomotive numbers I’ve seen. I create logs of every train I see, and put that information into a database, so that I can know such useful facts like I’ve seen all of the Amtrak F59PHI units, or that I’ve seen all the BNSF (ex ATSF) GP60B units except for #327 and #330.
One day I might see several trains and see nothing new. Today I hit the jackpot, during my lunch break I saw 6 ES44DCs, a CEFX sd40-2, a UP SD90, a UP C45ACCTE, a GP60M, and an ex-Conrail NS C40-8W all of which were “kills”.
And yes, I’ll be posting at least one photo later on…
