What a year! that’s all I can say about '08. Now that the year is coming to a close, I thought it would be kinbda fun to sum up all my railfanning adventures I had this year in one spot. After all, it’s been a really fun year!
It all started in April…
Welcome back to Altoona, 6936! How long has it been? Over a decade? Thank god I could catch it this time!
But the DDA40X was merely the kick-off. Summer was when a LOT of good things started happening. All beginning with another celebrity’s arrival in Altoona:
The first time I hd seen 1995 in broad daylight up here. In fact, it stuck around for over a week. I just sat there for hours staring at it too. And lemme tell ya, the detail on this machine is much more impressive up close. Altoona was starting to feel CNW again with 1995 sitting there all day.
I totally got a cab shot of me! shame it was only a GP15-1, but at least it had a spartan cab.
Then things got even better!
SD70Ms have made landfall. Power I hated to see has finally been replaced with SD70Ms, C44-9Ws, and SD40-2Rs. This place is becoming quite ideal now!
My first SP! working the LTB55 for a while too. Great to see one in Altoona!
2 big macs, a crash 9, 2 SD70Ms, and an AC6044 rebuilt from an AC6000. Consist of legends!
Speaking of legends…
SD60s
