- Paul Petersen: Awesome collection you guys put together, the definitive anti RP net collection. They did a really good job on the printing unlike some other train mags that are not maintaining the quality of their printing.
- Steve Eshom: Thanks Matt. This image was taken in 2005. At that point you could still find SD40-2s working road trains in good numbers though it was clear they weren't the future of road power.
- Matt: Lovely photo Steve. I shot 3219 multiple times as it was in the PNW SD40-2 pool for a few years; interesting that they threw it on the point of a grainer...

- 455 stainless bars: Do we have to apply something onto the metal to strengthen it from the harsh weather condition. e.g. excessive rain and hot weather
- Steve Eshom: Yes it can. The worst time is when the temperature changes a lot over a short period of time. That will cause rails to break or kink depending on the season.
