This image came out of the camera with the file name IMG_2205. Funny how those things happen!

The SD62 rebuild program (and similar GP62 program) involves moving the control stand a bit to make it easier to run the locomotive long hood forward. I believe they also add cameras to the end of the long hood and video screens in the cabs.

This engine was pulling a welded rail train. I apologize for the quality, but it was really getting late and I was experimenting too much with the settings. Two SD60's in one day was also a great find, what with the other one being in NS colors.
