End of the Line
Title:  End of the Line
Description:  The nose of POTB 6157 (born CBQ 355) is all that's left of what was once a proud member of the CBQ's Zephyr fleet. This photo was taken in early February, 2012 and as far as I know, this little shred is now gone. Wish I'd thought to snag one of the number plates....

Train and a Smoke Break
Title:  Train and a Smoke Break
Description:  Several co-workers enjoy a cigarette and a break in the weather as UP 4156 leads a string of light locomotives north towards Union Pacific's Albina Yard. This photo was taken with my iPhone 5 and then run through a filter to give it a vintage look. Two with their backs to the camera watch the locomotives rolling through while others, including the passerby, fail to take any notice.
