I finally went to Rochelle Illinois. It is awsome, their is so much activity, and I made some new friends, I even got a C&NW t-shirt. Anywho, the strangest thing happened to me today. A Union Pacific train came by, 3 SD70M’s, only the third engine had a guy on it. That guy was taking pictures of us, as we were taking pictures of him. When I get the photo’s developped, I will post it here.
Maybe the guys in the first unit were having a bad hair day, and didn’t want to be photographed

Probably deadheading.
Railfan gets a cab ride?
That would be my guess. But when I get cab rides I’m under strict orders not to look like a railfan. I even have to wear the safty glasses and ear plugs.
Isn’t it so much more fun railfanning when it’s not done from in front of a computer screen? [8D]
Or maybe… A Railfanfan!!!

How ironic.
Ooops…guess I’m a little late with the info for railfanning Rochelle in the other topic. Hope you had a good trip.

Thanks CopCarSS
And you caught a rules violation too. I think he could have taken good enough pics from the cab, riding the running boards is a bad idea unless you have real buisness back there ( like taking a leak , sometimes the toilets are pretty scary) Alot of railroads today have rules about riding trailing units anyhow because of exhaust in the cab issues.
The first and second unit is an SD-70M?
Ha smile you are on candid camera. [:D][:p]
