Coal down the river
Title:  Coal down the river
Description:  An eastbound coal train rolls through Hoffman Av just as an auto rack train clears. Look at those GE's smoke!!This is one of the busiest spots in the area, located where CPs ex MILW line and BNSFs ex CB&Q line head east down the Mississippi River. Theyll shortly end up on opposite sides, but here they are together. Its a show.

Coal train east
Title:  Coal train east
Description:  One of the things I tried to do when I could was follow routes that put me next to rail lines. Sometimes it yielded interesting results, such as this along US 287in Texas, though the problems inherent with parking a 53 foot trailer often prevented me from getting the ideal shot.
