Tiptoe thru the tulips
Title:  Tiptoe thru the tulips
Description:  OK, so its Queen Annes Lace, but that doesnt make a good song lyric. A 253 is working 76 cars uphill at Nowlan Rd in Sanitaria Springs behind a set of SDs picking their way through the floral splendor. This is the same train as in "Big Sky" but with a different angle and focal length. How much difference a change in perspective makes.

Ready to go
Title:  Ready to go
Description:  The 164 is doubled up on the runner and ready to go south behind a power set that includes an STLH painted unit, but no CP on the nose of the leader.
