Rail Fanning

Returning to work this afternoon, I was treated to a rare sight (for me, anyway). At the RxR crossing heading down Gibson, traffic was stopped by a Union Pacific (affectionately known as yoUPee *chuckle*) freight train. I whipped out my hand-dandy little camera phone (remember the Moto Razr?) and managed to get these pix.















Those that know me know that my son and I are huge rail fans. Don't get to do much of it but when there is the opportunity, we take it. Anyway, rumor has it, Union Pacific will soon give way to Santa Fe. What I would give to see a Dash 9 on Vegas Rails! Seeing that certainly lifted my spirits, though. Some things we just do not outgrow and this is one of them. :)
