It's like one giant 12" /foot model with overpasses, flat crossings, cords and a double deck railway river bridge: Here is the Google view: https://goo.gl/maps/uqJ7y7tmomHJxe1G7 Edited September 19, 2019 by melmerby 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been raining a lot and not just over the passes, San Juan Capistrano has some really wet days recently and that's only 2 or 3 miles from the beach!

I can see all the picture height, including the text at the top but the picture is hard over to the RH side, so no RH border. (Android) but it's not properly formatted for a PC either.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I randomly logged onto the Deshler cam and got this It's a GP40X with the flared radiators, like a mini SD45. Built in February 1978 as Southern Pacific's class leader 7200. It was second unit on another PSR land barge... 219 cars, a single DPU at 106 cars. Wow!

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2020 There seems to be an awful lot of what we would call heritage equipment running around in the USA. There are still plenty of ex Sante Fe locos in original livery but with a BNSF number 24 years after it ceased to exist and UP still has some ex Southern Pacific locos with just a UP number patch on the cab. Freight cars seem to go back even further with long vanished lines still represented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBrad Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 That's what I love about the US, generally there is so much variety to be seen, despite what some people think. Actually, the same could be said about the UK, it's not all multiple units and even if we are talking about passenger trains, the sheer number of different types running mean that there's plenty of variety still out there, you just have to look for it.

Rarest I've seen were two Great Nothern blue woodchip cars complete with Rocky the mountain goat logos. These were in California heading east towards Barstow at Monolith.

One of my greatest regrets, is in not having an interest in US railroads in June 2002. At the time we stayed overnight in the Hitching Post Inn in Cheyenne, on our way towards Yellowstone. Right outside our room, opposite our parked car, were the tracks to a UP marshalling yard. I could kick myself! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
