  1. Imagine the left’s apoplexy if all of those old coal and wood fired trains were still running these days hauling freight while belching all of that particulate laden smoke. The horror.

  2. Even surrounded by ice, icing those reefers must have been pretty hot work judging by the shirtless guys on the platform and by the hatches. Looks like a load of fresh produce loaded in California.

  4. Another great set Derq. I now always love seeing the big boy 4014 one in there Looks like a sister train to it. When are you going to show a picture of the wreck of the old 97?

    Off topic, but to my friends here was at my church mowing today and saw my young friend Katie, so I stopped and visited with her. She told me she was pregnant and that her and her husband had difficulties for quite some time to get to that point so I ask for prayers of full term delivery of a happy healthy baby and mom for my friend. She authors some of the daily devotionals that get emailed to us and hers are pretty special compared to the rest. Thanking you in advance.

    • God bless you Bear Claw. You are a good man. Nonpareil. You are always uplifting, upholding, encouraging, and praying for others. So few men like you in the world today. And I like your wit and humor 😁. We need more men like you in this time.

      Daily praying for your friend Katie. I was in a similar situation. Took several years to conceive, and then only able to have one child much to my chagrin. Would have loved to have had a full quiver full. But I am blessed to have had the one, financially successful, well adjusted, patriotic son that I have.

      Adios my dears.

      • Children that grow into adults such as yours are the product of good parenting. You done good sandy.

      • Thank you Sandy, your estimate is low though. There are thousands of praying men out there, a lot end up coming here for community.

        ps I told Katie yesterday that within 72 hours I would have people coast to coast praying for her. I am copying and pasting them all and sending to her. She will get a kick out of it. She works for my church as well.

  5. I googled “what the fuck is that guy riding in the second pic” and just got porn sites.
    What is that? It must have some kind of motor.

    • No DMM I would never send her copies of some of my comments in the blogosphere.

        • I knew that did not want anybody to think I was a hypocrite. It’s OK to think I’m a jack ass though.

  6. That 2-6-2 (?, can’t see the front wheels well enough) on its side?

    It’s just getting a short rest – for a day or two. No worries!
