Friday Follies

I made a quick trip down to the wye today to see what I could see… and what did I see? A few movements without any Dash 9s! I mentioned my camera oops already, but I did get a couple shots that made it home OK…

First… imagine this, switching with a switch engine! Instead of the usual GP30-something fare, today the BNSF 3449 was kicking cars near the yard office:

Switching Vancouver Yard

And the one road train I saw moving and shot, the M-EVEABN with some interesting power makes the curve past the passenger platform:

    That’s one ugly switcher – I like it.

    The photos seems compressed horizontally. Is the switcher really that tall and narrow?

    No photographic compression, that photo’s accurate… it might just be the angle of the shot.
