A few pics from work...

[wbw2]

My job usually isn't very interesting, but from time to time some neat stuff comes through the yard. Here are a few pics from the last 2 weeks:

There were 150 of these heading south-

They were in about 4 different blocks of the same train-

These were bound for Brazil-

They were purchased by a mining company-

Those locomotives are nice proof that we can still build quality stuff for export in this country.

Those are GE locomotives, you know the largest company in the US. 8) 8)

Hey, snag me one of them HUMVEE's. I need a good storm chase vehicle.

Very, very cool. I lived in Martinsburg for about 2 years and man do I miss Shoneys!

I had to show these pics to my son--now he's in the other room telling his sister what he saw. "It's a train on a train! But the diesel had no wheels!"

Thank you for sharing the pictures!

Yes, god eyes. The traction motors were all loaded onto adjacent flat cars. They take the traction motors off the flat cars, place them on the rails, then lower the locomotive onto them.

Looks like some of the new generation GE power units. Aren't those made in Eastern PA? What RR do you work for? I've done some business with the DL, NS, and CSX in that region. I suppose you mostly see coal trains. Are the Humvees from Lima OH?

I work for NS in Hagerstown, MD. No coal cars. I'm not sure where the humvees were going, just that they were headed south.

I'm a fan of the NS, and most other railroads. These are great stocks to own right now, and for the next 5-10 years, I think. If you have more pics to post, I'd love to see them.

Ultimately headed East I'm sure. WAY East. Logistics for a nation at war.
