Getting harder to find
Title:  Getting harder to find
Description:  Its been a few years now since CP took over the DM&E, though their rolling stock, primarily covered hoppers, is still common. such as on this southbound grain move on the KCS, though most of them don't have the DM&E lettering on the sides. They wont last forever, though, now just another fallen flag.

RI truck trailer 31579
Title:  RI truck trailer 31579
Description:  This is a somewhat fuzzy picture of a Rock Island RR truck trailer. I couldn't find or decipher the trailer number, if any, because the original (color) photo was too fuzzy. The dyes had faded so badly that I decided to go with a black-and-white motif for this one. The trailer was clearly riding a TOFC car (unknown) while part of an eastbound then-N&W freight in South Point, OH, crossing over old US 52 and soon the Ohio River into Kenova, WV.

ETTX 905122 and NS rack (re-uploaded)
Title:  ETTX 905122 and NS rack (re-uploaded)
Description:  ETTX 905122, carrying an NS rack, was part of an ICE/DME train heading south through Buffalo, IA on 1-21-2012. I have re-uploaded this car due to the system crash which affected this site some time ago. Yes, there's a duplicate picture of this car but it doesn't show up in the roster listings so here we go with another try. Thanks for your patience.
