Here I got lucky, it was 8 in the morning (Okay, closer to 9, but still starting with 8) and I caught 8888 on the bridge over 8th street. It wasn’t on the 8th, but I think there are enough 8s in the photo! Check if out, someone stole the numberboard so they had to make a new one. Click on the thumbnail for a bigger look.
[:)] Was 8888 in notch “8” at 8th st?? That would be cool .

Like the photo…Interesting background in it. Number board…? Is the newly made one on the engineere’s side…It that is the one that’s home made…the only difference I think I see are two “8” digits installed upside down…{Bigger center openings in top of digits}.
Alas, only 4. Maybe if I got more than 8 8s, the world would explode.
Neat catch. CN 8888 was in my neck of the woods three times. Sadly, it was around midnight each time…not exactly conducive to photography, eh? Thanks for sharing.
hmm, I must have missed this yesterday - Yet I can’t remember seeing your post…must be going senile already!
I think they might both be hand-made - Looking at my older photos, they’re both different from what I saw on the unit in 2008. (No pictures then!)
Well…unless you’re Gary Knapp.
Now, that number plate on the engineer’s side… is that thing right-side-up, or upside-down? Think about it…
Two of the "8"s are upside down.
