Out to Pasture.

[grande man]

I ran across this train today in Bessemer, Al. It's destination was apparently Birmingham Rail and Locomotive. http://www.bhamrail.com/index.asp I think these two old gals have seen their better days. The light was changing rapidly as I chased the train but I hope ya'll enjoy the pics.

The complete train

GP30 slug. The 30's trucks were on a separate flat car.

Excellent pix as always, Eric! I'm sure Jerome especially will love these.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.



For some strange reason it reminds me of an old joke:

Q. Why do bulldogs have flat faces.

A. From chasing parked cars.

Amazing they're even going to rebuild that Slug!

I just wonder how the slug got that much damage. I thought they were used in slow speed service. Either it was going a lot faster than I thought slugs went or something else going mighty fast hit it. Either way, good catch and nice shots, Eric.

They are both very doable. There isn't really that much damage on them.
