I take it you mean the older ones. The new DE/DM units are very "meh" (much like Amtrak's P42s and NJT's new PL42ACs).Quote:

Heres a few of my shots.
Unfortunatly I dont hav any of my slides scanned better pix in there.
So I'll just have to use some of these prints.

Love the Metra, both SPs and that MARC F unit looks sweet!
Thanks Ed,
That MARC F unit is a Control Cab..I was a little disappointed when I ran it through the MPR but oh well its still cool to get.
The Southern Pacific (5102) B23-7 was one of the first units I photographed.

Looks like a 44 Ton Switcher
50 Ton

Count me in as a railfan as well. I too, Mario, have a bunch of prints. Nothing digital though....after all on LI, there is just about NOTHING to spot on the rails. I still love the switchers that the "NY & A" run, the former LIRR SW1200's.
Yeah, John, I hear ya. Nothing really to shoot and I dont follow NYA too much.
I got a lot of video and pics from 99 until the last week of old dielse service. GOt a few cab ride videos too. AS I used to work on the RR, it was not a problem back in the day. Have a few stories with throttle up and horns too :)
Even have some pics of me when the C420s were still around.
Great times. Great consists. One of the last great consists I saw was at Babylon, headed westbound, was 2 MP15acs, 2 GP38s and a single P72 Coach car. GOt a quick shot of it.
Next time we get together, remind e, gonna bring out the old goodies!
