And here it is a month later! Got a trio of 40's working in the yard, and having trouble uncoupling the big hook from it's tender flat,


And today it snowed and blowed and that makes for great lighting!

[badlandnp]

Got this trio of ACe's yesterday. It was a beautifully bright day, and with the snow it really lit it up. There are a lot of wheels making noise on this guy, too!

Yesterday I was able to catch a grainer entering from the east, and then an eastbound empty oil can heading for Fryburg to reload. It should have been a single video, but the memory card went full and stopped near the end of the grainer! So, here we go.

And then the oil can dropping the signal,

And yesterday, caught this trio of SD40-2's! Led by Big greeN!

Caught some trains on the way to Billings for the wife's wrist surgery, which went well!

And in blowing snow,

I made 500 subscribers on my youtube channel! And so today I was able to catch some BNSF coal train action, and a little MOW Ohio crane!

2nd video- I'm going with "Pile Driver" - final answer....

Could this be an earlier iteration of the unit?

Great prototypes references.

[badlandnp]

Definitely a pile driver. Thanks for the reference photo from fleabay, too! Who would've thought that a fella could learn something from there??!

[badlandnp]

Caught a great view of an empty oil can on it's way to Fryburg, ND for a reload. This location I caught the train at is about a mile west of Medora, ND,

[badlandnp]

Got lucky yesterday morning!


And a lost UP pulling coal,

Saw a few interesting things, first up was this crane working!
