Trains rep |
| Description: |
In the late 70s, Trains magazine, during one of its motive power surveys, looked for a diesel that typified the power on American railroads. Their conclusion was that the unit that did so was B&O 3802. Here it is, some years later, trailing on an eastbound. Perhaps typically, it is the last unit of three on an othewise unremarkable train on an unremarkable day. |

Northbound on the IHB |
| Description: |
The Indiana Harbor Belt was a great road to watch. On my way through Chicago, I stopped while en route west, catching this northbound transfer heading for Franklin Park behind a couple of Chessie classics. |

Roadside shot |
| Description: |
The train with the C&O power snuck up on me, so I ran down the road to get a better shot. Sometimes you have to make the best out of what you have. |
