Ex SP 7953 in MCLPR consist at Clinton

Here we see the colorful consist going around the curve from home rails to joint rails. I don't know where the UP trains go to from that curve behind the power but this is the 3rd train to come out from there

This is my first HLCX unit painted like this. I actually like this scheme, this is a former Penn Central GP40, it's a GP38 - 3 now. There was nice powe on this UP freight

Never thought I would ever see a UP painted GP40 - 2 ever. Well, I did now. a pair of nice Geeps are on UP 8230 East

A nice looking NS Dash 9 is smoking as it helps this long freight out into Westminster. I was happy to see NS today

A nice leader from UP, a SD9043MAC leads a almost EMD consist. But 3 nice trailing units. This was one of the coolest consists today

Train #2 has a colorful consist, a UP SD9043MAC leads a NS Dash 9 - 40CW, a UP GP40 - 2 and a HLCX GP38 - 3. One of two colorfull consist on the UP. Loved the HLCX Scheme

Two former SP units out by the shop.
