I spotted some unusual-looking cars in a train on CP in Kenosha County
while coming back from Bristol Renaissance Faire today, so I turned around
and got a couple pictures of 'em at Wepco:

So my question is… where were they coming from??? What were they doing in Cheese-land??? And who’s building them???
Enjoy!

Thought this was interesting, if only because of how far the unit is from it’s home. It a Genesee & Wyoming unit that I caught last week. It was working mu’d to a FerroSur unit in Apizaco, Tlaxcala, Mexico (about 2 hours east of Mexico City on the mainline to Veracruz). I’m assuming it’s down here because G&W owns FCMM (Ferrocarril Chiapas-Mayab), which is located in the southeast part of the country. The unit must be on the FerroSur tracks as part of some power sharing agreement.
btw, I can’t ID the diesel type. So if anyone out there can tell me what it is I’d appreciate it. I also couldn’t find a G&W roster list to check the number against.
At the same place I caught this Mexican Army coach (?), occupied and placed in the middle of a freight train. Apparently the Army still uses the railroads to move personnel around. The reporting marks SDNX are “Secretaria de Defensa Nacional”.

I got another chance to chase the MALPM today(with a WSOR unit on the point this time). Here are a few of my photos from the day:

I started my Day at Merrimac WI, with photo at the bridge. Today wasn’t bad up here weather wise, but of course a cloud decided to block to sun right as the train made it’s way out onto the bridge.

The Next photo comes at the Highway 113 crossing. I just, and I mean just made it to the crossing in time for this shot. I actually took it out of the window of the car!

The Next is the good old Baraboo Depot. Here the MALPM backs up to drop off the Plastics car for temporary storage on the team track.

With all the backing up, I got a chance to move to another spot to get this shot as the Locomotive backed up to go back to it’s train in Baraboo.

Next they went to Perry Judd Printing, where I got a shot of the short trackage of “street running”(if you can really even call it that, it just crosses an area where a parking lot meets a street, probably 100 feet long or so).

Now a new angle that you folks haven’t seen from me at least before. This is from the Highway 12 bridge in Baraboo. Usually I stand off to the side and look down the hill at it, but this time I walked right up next to the track on the bridge for the shot.

Now it’s on to Rock Springs near the Co-op in town. The Moon can be very faintly seen over the closest grain bin, I take it he’s a railfan too! [;)]

Hello Ed,
From your picture, it looks like a old SOUTHERN U23B, can’t tell from picture if HIGH HOOD has been chopped or not. But with the stripes on the pilot and the road number, I would bet that’s what it is/was. Might not have ever been in NORFOLK SOUTHERN paint.

while traveling in NE, UP was making a run with a 4 8 4 fron Cheyenne to Omaha and back. I was in Grand Island when the unit was on the return trip and made a 30 min stop. I have some pics., but I’m not a protographer. I would like to share them but do not know how to send them.

The short hood is definitely high, not chopped. I got a shot of that end but it was a bit blurry because the train was moving.
First step is to open an account with one of the free picture hosting services on the internet. You can’t actually upload pictures from your computer to this forum. You upload to one pf the photo hosting websites, then put a link in your post here with the photos ‘direction’.
So step one is to open an account. Many of us use www.railimages.com. Another service is www.photobucket.com. But there are lots of them. Once you get the account set up, follow their instructions to upload your photos to their website.
With your photos uploaded, find the ‘direction’ of the photo by right clicking on the photo, then clicking on ‘properties’ in the drop down menu. The direction will look something like http://www.railimages.com/gallery/edmurphy/aga.jpg . Highlight the address and copy it.
In your post here, you type in [img ] (leaving out the space), then paste in the address. Then type in [/img ] right after (again, leaving out the space). That should do it.
Oh, one more thing, if you do use railimages, you have to change the word ‘gallery’ to ‘albums’ in the address.
Scroll up a few messages, right click on any of the photos that have been posted (then click on ‘properties’), and you can see some of the different websites that people are using to host their photos. It will show up as part of the address of the photo.

Ed

UP 8599 an ex Rio G unit.
The UP 1982 (the Missouri Pacific Heritage unit) [:D] [:D] [:D]
Zach wanted me to call him and let him know when it arrived. He asked me if it was clean. I told him, “Yes.” Then I got closer and noticed the bug splatters (but you have to be pretty close to see them [;)] ) . So Zach, I hope it looked clean to you. [;)] Several people turned out to take photos of it. [^]
It is a very nice looking unit and I was very surprised to be able to see it so soon. [:)] It is worth your time to see it if you can. [;)]
