Didn't see any pics of it finished Mr C., I'd guess that they finished it, it did its service until replaced by a concrete one perhaps...
Don't you just love mountain railroading, highspeed freights and limiteds are cool, but mountain railroading that's just brutal.. 8)

Excellent material Lucky. Very interesting stuff. I took the day off and went train hunting today. Just locally, got just a few. The quality isn't there but I had a quiet day.

Most exellent my good man! Looking great! Never been a fan of modern diesels, when safety and comfort came in, styling went out the same door...SD-40's and 45's were that last good looking machines!
Looking forward to many more pics mate!

I know, I'd rather be shooting steam, but when this is all we get what choice is there. Oh well. If I ever get the chance to shoot steam though hopefully I will have had enough practice to get it rite.

 

[Lucky13]

I'm with you there mate... Who doesn't LOVE steam!? I'm all for steam, but I also enjoy 1st, 2nd generation diesels and some old electric power, Little Joe's GG1's etc.

Now, get back out there and shoot some more trains!

Speaking of which I purchased a book today you might be interested in. "Images of Rail, The Virginian Railway", Arcadia Publishing (www.arcadiapublishing.com). It is a photo history of the Virginian Rail Road.

Heh. The businesses I IT for now are both near railyards. I should bring my cameras one day. One is a fairly large four-track yard for BNSF, with the occasional Amtrack coming through.

Good shots Syscom! I went back to the Natural Tunnel and took some more last weekend. They are a little fuzzy.
