Sitting In the Siding
Title:  Sitting In the Siding
Description:  The New York Central heritage unit leads train D67-26 east from the General Motors Plant in Wentzville, Mo. and heads towards Luther Yard on the Norfolk Southern St. Louis District. Unfortunately the crew ran out of time before making it to the yard and had tied the train down in the Ferguson siding just a short time ago. I cant complain through, it worked out great for me. Thankfully I had a short day at work, which made it possible to catch this one sitting still and take a couple dozen photos.

Galloping Horses
Title:  Galloping Horses
Description:  NS 2800, a former ATSF & BNSF SD75M, leads this 5 pack of rumbling horses east on the NS STL District with NS 111 as it cruises over Mid Rivers Mall Dr. in St. Peters, Mo. It was nice to finally catch one of these SD75Ms in the NS "Horsehead" paint, but I do miss them in the "Warbonnet" red and silver. At quick glance, it looks like a SD60M.
