Something old, something new
Title:  Something old, something new
Description:  This short train was at Brooks Av in Rochester over New Years weekend. We have a leased B&O GP 9 in Chessie paint leading, something old. Trailing is a GP 40 in the new R&S paint scheme, based on parent Genesee & Wyomings colors. It is a scheme that will become familiar nationwide as G&W builds its short line empire.

Something for everyone
Title:  Something for everyone
Description:  I was riding into Washington on Amtrak and caught this local power just outside DC. We have a B&O unit in blue, one in Chessie paint, and a Western Maryland geep, still in original paint. Just need a C&O unit, but this is still pretty good.

Ready to go
Title:  Ready to go
Description:  Just about anywhere. I was riding Amtrak into Washington, and was able to shoot this from the train as we rolled past Ivy City. Note the ex PRR MP 54 painted Washington Terminal. Chessie power was common on the B&O trains, which Maryland DOT had taken over, but did not have their own power to run. Thus we have B&O 6607 in the company of a variety of Amtrak units awaiting their next excursion. Interesting I should find a shot of B&O 6607. Its a unit number that seems to be everywhere for me. Ive shot CR, NS, and SOO units with this number, in addition to this one.
