BNSF 8361 |
| Description: |
BNSF 8361 north end of the power-five with her bottom fading slightly into the fog... figures, a good handful of units, cloak-of-fog to hide from RP hassles, but that same fog cloaks the subject at hand. At least it wasnt actively raining... very hard. |

BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1948 on the turn-table spur, BNSF 8361 and PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 in background |
| Description: |
BNSF 2721 on the turn-table (as if on cue to prove me wrong ap Id recently pointed out Id never got to see it work... now I have - more later in this paragraph) recently disconnected from her sister BNSF 1948, and getting spun around to place them long nose - to - long nose. Out on the passing lane with northbound covered hopper pushing duty is BNSF 8361 whileÚQNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 trio waits to exit out of the north ladder yard with southbound local mixed freight into Portland. As for the round table / turn table... it was neat to watch, although being sunset and looking into the sun a little challenging (I know, complaining about cool train stuff, I feel funny doing it) - but the sound - talk about absolute let down (and my ears bleed for the poor workers) - theres no*deep rumble, no satisfying clanks or clicks - only high pitched, whines and squeals (you know, like trackside wheel sets that just screech to high-heaven and make your jaw ache). So save your money on the sound equipped DCC turn table option (hr hope our new table is just modern wussy sounds and the classic, pre-1950s version is more cool. |

BNSF 6968 - BNSF 8361 |
| Description: |
BNSF 6968 - BNSF 8361 DPU... or a creative view of a double-header without appropriate ditch-lights - reversing it through Connell in relative silence through the quiet zone. |

BNSF 8361 |
| Description: |
BNSF 8361 lead DPU behind a mile of covered hoppers rushing south past the Connell ladder yard as I remain steadfast - at least as steadfast as one can be having recovered from doing the splits upon a slab of ice finally convincing the straying right limb the male body was not designed to attain that position while remaining conscious and without the benefits of serious drugs and/or alcohol... although at this age, Id settle for a good shot of NSAIDs and a heating pad... my, how the world changes with age and wisdom... well, at least age and adipose. |
