Hey y'all. I was just thinkin', we should have a thread for odd, unexpected, or just downright interesting power that rolls through our individual areas. I always think it's kinda cool when random, foreign, old, awesome power shows up in odd places. So I just thought I'd start a thread about it. Post your weird stuff!

Here's a few of my catches of weird stuff in southeastern WI.
An NS high-hood on the Canadian Pacific.

An all CSX grain train on the Canadian Pacific. Every single part of this train with the exception of ONE SINGLE car was CSX.

Nice shots. I bet you don't see that often. High hoods are rare birds these days.

Nice shots, I wanted to catch that NS train but my buddy Eric's truck broke and I was stuck in a Subway parking lot waiting for a flat bed to come and get it.

CaptKilljoy, that was you!? I'll be darned. I was there! I was the scraggly haired kid in the CN hat and black Toyota 4runner! Sorry you missed that high hood, I had to drive all the way to Oconomowoc to catch him. And I heard about that...how's the truck doin? I heard Ron came and helped y'all.
