One of my favorite freight trains to photograph is the coke train off the W&LE into Baltimore.  Really enjoy seeing all the older cars off of railroads which no longer exist due to mergers, etc.




There were a pair of hoppers in this scheme sitting on the bridge over I-695 at Halethorpe yesterday evening when I drove home from the B&O museum.  I emailed Cory at Atlas and asked if there was any chance of seeing this scheme on their 90-ton hoppers in a future run; based on his response I think there might be a good possibility.   :D

Blast from the past - a pair of GP9 redbirds in Williamson, WV - likely 1959 (bells were added 1960 IIRC):

The copy says Roanoke, but it is wrong.

My grandparent's house was on the other side of the tracks a little ways - this was in direct view from the porch!

Very nice pick from this guy. 8)
