Behold the parade of Armor Yellow on the Golden State Route.

6-2-13: Eastbound autoracks just throttling up to leave at the CTC signal controlling the BNSF diamond (Boise City Sub) at Stratford, TX. Sorry for the crappy through the windshield quality. UP 4579 (SD70M), 7924 (C45ACCTE), 3820 (SD70M).
Image

6-3-13: Westbound autoracks. (UP 7733 - C45ACCTE, 4520 - SD70M, and 8321 - SD70ACe as DPU). I've seen pics of 8321 before in the "Building America" paint, but it appears to have been since then (obviously not recently).
Image
Image

6-4-13: Eastbound light power (UP 7020 - AC4460CW, 6674 - AC4400CW). First convertible unit of the day.
Image

Another westbound autorack, with more shiny new cars inside. (UP 8487 - SD70ACe, 3475 - SD90/43MAC). And another convertible unit. !!*ok*!!

I took this at the Kelso station in the Mojave National Preserve. (AKA, the middle of nowhere)

These are from a train trip to Flagstaff AZ.
You can sit across the street and watch trains, from at least 3 different brew pubs.
Flagstaff Brewery is the best though... !*cheers*!

CN was dropping off a few tank cars at work the other day and they stopped and let me take a few pictures of these 2 C44-9W's. They are rebuilt versions with DPU controls for EOT helpers.
Note the red dpu lights in the nose of 2200

Hey CNR, if you ever get the chance to be on IC SD70 can you get some pictures of the cab.

Not technically railfanning but since we had her out of the shed I decided to take a few shots in the light.

Got NS8099 in Grand Rapids yesterday. Had a very very rare B20-8 next to it. Rarely does any NS unit wander up here. *!greengrin!*

NKP 8100 Cab last year at the FWRHS. This picture proves that RSC's cab models are half correct! (Here you go 5292nate)

Need more proof it's the 8100?
