TV 302
Title:  TV 302
Description:  TV 302 approaches KW for head room as it backs its train into Croxton behind a pair of SD 40's. Picture this train with a pair of EL SDP 45's!! The former EL Croxton yard is now an intermodal facility on NS, a far cry from its days as a polyglot mix of everything that it was in the 60s and70s.

OIBU at Red Rock
Title:  OIBU at Red Rock
Description:  Sounds like a rock concert...actually, its a freight at a location on the Susquehanna River between Susquehanna and Great Bend PA, and if the light was right and you didnt have too many trees, it was a pretty nice view, as we see here with OIBU running along the river behind a pair of SDs. It would have looked nicer with a pair of EL SD45s, but cant have everything!!
