13T meets Grinstein
Title:  13T meets Grinstein
Description:  13T waits for a recrew at QD behind a pair of BNSF Grinstein green SD70s. They were not typically seen off coal trains, never mind on the east coast, so this was a treat. As usual, clouds ruled the day. In a twist of irony, I would see this unit again in 15 years, freshly repainted in the BNSF "Swoosh" scheme, as the DPU on an empty Texas Gulf Utilities train at Gravette Ark, on the KCS.

Old switch stand
Title:  Old switch stand
Description:  A relatively recent repaint-of a 20 plus year old unit-passes a relic of the past, a switch stand that once controlled a switch for a local business. In a quirk of fate, this was a second meeting for me with this engine. I had shot it back in March of 2005, leading NS 13T at Binghamton NY. It was in Grinstein Green in those days. Look for it in the NS in the Southern Tier album.
