Not my photos, but a beautiful series of shots on The Verge today of a restored D&RGW K28

This was an interesting lash-up on Cajon a few weeks back; all that power and only 25 or so cars.

Was this an Eastbound? I was under the impression that the GP60M units were happily working a second life in LA local service. I hope these 2 are still in service!

Yes, this was an EB train headed up to Barstow.

Last week I flew from Australia to the US, ending up in Antonito CO for the Friends of the C&TS Flanger snow clearance photo charter - pity there was no snow. !*roll-laugh*! Hadnt snowed in about 5 weeks, and where there had been 4-6 feet, was bare ground. There were a few patches but nothing like the previous year. Anyway, was a great trip, funds went to a great cause, and who knows, maybe next year...

*!!thnx!!* I am happy with that one too; probably one of the best I have taken in the past few years. Was hard work though. Long trip from Oz, then 3+ hour drive north from Albuquerque to Alamosa and then up at 3.15am so we could be on the road by 4.15 for the drive to Antonito for a 5.30am departure. Ferguson is about 35 mins rail journey and we had to be in place for a 6.19am sunrise. We did a couple in the pre-dawn light, then the sun hit and it was stunning and by 6.30 it had been obscured by cloud. The luckiest I have been in forever *!lol!*

!*cheers*!

I unfortunately don't travel around too much taking train pictures, but from what I have done, its incredibly fun. This is probably my personal favorite, taken at Fraser-Winter Park station.
