Sequence Shots

[espeelover]

Sometimes I used to be-bop all over the place, other times, I would just stand in one spot and click away as a train passed me by.

This is a set of three pictures taken of the power in one single SP freight; taken in September of 1981.

Here is the head end power....


...and the first set of helpers...


...and yet another helper set...


...now if I could just remember where I put the caboose slide...

Great pictures, John. I'm glad someone else likes the going away shots, also.

Yeah, I know certain elitists will only allow "coming at ya" shots on their websites, or perfect roster shots; but railroading is not always a perfect science. Thank you for your kind words. These two going away shots really show off the power of the equipment, and the longer shot helps convey the fact that railroads are about long distances and travel.

Besides, the longer shot has the only bits of the depot that I can find. I thought I had a couple of full pictures someplace, but they have yet to turn up.

Here are most of the others from the entire series.

Very nice shots of the TOFC train.

Nice set, you posted these while I was in the Colorado Rockies counting pine trees, so I never saw them until now. I just happened to be looking for something else when I saw these; very nice indeed!

Is there a way to make your profile show you all the new posts since your last log in?

Great stuff! I especially liked the shots of the "popsicle" unit.(Sulzer repowered U25B) ;D

I just noticed your question John. I hate say, but no there is no way to show new posts in the profile. There is however a button down at the bottom of the main page that says..."25 most recent posts". Its under the "Forum Statistics" bar.
