Gator and a semaphore.
Title:  Gator and a semaphore.
Description:  The semaphore at 247-2 was easy to access, as it was close to the road, and there was a driveway to the MOW road, which was the old LV line. On a nice day it was a great shot with the blade against the blue sky. Heres 261X with 45 TOFC behind a GATX lease unit rolling west past the signal.

No, its not Wisconsin
Title:  No, its not Wisconsin
Description:  A trio of SOO units lead 253 north at Bainbridge. Its an interesting mix of power, with one of SOOs 5 SD60Ms leading, and a pair of straight SD60's for power. The now closed Jennison power plant rises in the background. This scene has changed over the years. Note how the trees have grown up compared to shots taken in the 80s elsewhere in this album.
