Old CN Diesel shop in Canada. It was a pretty awesome place to explore... and take our UE self portraits there.

| | | | Not a great picture, but saw this Wednesday... don't see these unpatched Cotton Belts very often anymore. Last time I checked, there were less than 60 of them still around.

I think that is my favorite paint scheme. I miss seeing those.

I agree. Those are still my favorite. Probably because of when and where I grew up. Those were the only trains I saw when I was a kid. I still see some of them around, but they have that yellow patch on the side which just doesn't go with that paint job.
I'm glad there are still a few around. I never did warm up to the black widow paint scheme.

We actually had one of those here at the Tyler yard as a local engine a couple of years ago. Not a BN, but a UP. I haven't seen it in a year or so. It's probably gone for good.

Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

I've got a Leslie horn in my collection like the one on top of this unit. Very nice sounding horns.

Nice Reading....but you cant beat the warchief Santa Fe! So I will post them again!

I've made a few references to this engine before it was restored. I looked up the pictures I had taken back in Jan 02. This unit, at the time was CN 9167. They did a fantastic job restoring this engine to it's original designation and colors.

I like hearing them in the distance, they do have a pleasing meandering sound about them.

Yep, thats the same one, even though there are some changes (like the added headlights) that make it look different. It's the same engine. They did a good job on it.
