Northbound 204 shoots past Dundee Yard with a rare jewel for these parts!
One wonders how long this original ATSF paint will last given how shabby it is looking - wish I would have been able to get a decent shot of the second locomotive too, but this was a quick grab (literally, I saw the train approaching at the VA 36 crossing, parked in the park lot there and was turning on the camera as I jumped out and ran to grab this shot). This is on the old line through old town - a bit farther west, near the VA 36 crossing along the river. Still, its original ATSF paint, so its a favorite
