| Description: |
Taste the rainbow! Two SD45 frames (former CEFX), a former GCFX SD40-2, and a Bluebird SD40-2 handle the 87 cars on DME 171 this morning. I couldn't believe my eyes, but I could believe that this would be the train which was heading right out of the sun angle.... |

When I first saw this consist I threw on the four way flashers and stopped in the street to get this shot. And then I went to Glenwood with it! I think there comes a time when you just know you have to do something because there isn't always a next time in this hobby. |

A Classic |
| Description: |
Growing up with the Wisconsin Central, I quickly developed a soft spot for the SD45's. To still be able to see them, even without their 20 cylinder 645, is very much a blessing in todays age. Shoot em while you can, although too many people just ignore leasers, they are definately some of the neatest and oldest units still around. |

A HOT Q226 |
| Description: |
At the gas station filling up for the rest of our trip to Louisville, I hear the dispatcher come on and talk to the CEFX 3119 and give him an EC1. I could hear the conductor, so I knew he was close. We scrambled back to town and waited. Not one, but two Bluebirds! |

Coming out of the hole at North La Grange, the EMD throb was heard from quite a ways as they yanked their auto's Northbound. |

It took a good 10 minutes for these two to come into view after hearing them for a few miles out. So classic I almost figured on a few WC SD45's coming around the corner. |
