STYX!

Great collection of abused rolling stock, and great photos!

Domo arigato for your comment, Steve. These are the Best of Times for a Blue Collar Man trackside!

Nice collection of rolling stock. Nothing beats a mixed freight.

Indeed, Michael. Yet another reason we should feel lucky to live in Canada. I believe CN, and to a lesser extent CP, lead the Class 1's in carload freight. Though there are more intermodal trains on CN, all that exported lumber, paper and also chemical traffic keep the freights mixed!

Thanks for your comment!
