HLCX 335  Contributor's Pick!       
Several days ago I was talking with a friend who was curious about railfanning. I mentioned how I've always wanted to catch a locomotive with fire blowing out of the stack. The very first photo of the day, BAM! Fire! Yes, I know it's blurry and normally this photo would go to the junk bin but I still find it interesting enough to be uploaded here. UP 9947 has a sick tubocharger while building a train in Davidson Yard. All I have to do now is wait another 15 years and hopefully my next fire photo will be in better focus.
