Good score
Title:  Good score
Description:  Not on the soccer field. This 114 car H train has what has become a common event, a Belle leader. The score is the trailing unit, an SD 50. These units are often seen on work trains, but now only rarely on freight. This was quite a catch.

Not as pretty
Title:  Not as pretty
Description:  Its still"a good shot. The creek next to Mt Olive Rd just north of Dorsey is showing the effects of an active winter. Not so much snow, but a lot of rain, which has washed out all the vegetation from the stream bed. Lets sex how green it gets this summer. An H train rolls north.

Still around
Title:  Still around
Description:  The trailing unit on the H train was an SD 50. Not many of these still kicking around, though its not uncommon to see them in work train service in the summer.
