9 / 24 rail - OH WOW!

[Sinifar]

Well a coolish gray fall day. Detectors said 63, but with the wind it felt a lot cooler .. sweatshirt weather. The PRCOA was out, and coming home on the back of 8, the Watertown detector said 72 axles, so we knew something was on the end. Normally 8 has 52 .... (Private Rail Car Owners Association) - Based out of Chi Town ... ON to the day's shoot!



44 westbound, the white car is my pile of junk ..



Oil can south bound, slow boarded to 25 mph ..





An here comes the private cars! The guy in the pix is Lonni, a retired Milwaukee Road Engineer ..







IF an old passenger car is riding the varnish, it is privately owned -- if it is the head end of a freight unit, is company owned.











AN that wuz it! Hope you enjoyed the trip track side - catch up with ya next weekend ...

I live right next to railroad tracks in New Mexico and all I ever see are those yellow black and orange BNSF trains. It would make enduring the noise of the trains much better if there was some variety ! Great pics, cool trains.
