| Description: |
SD9s are the best locomotive I've ever run. Here is the 1852 (obviously) getting rained on at McMinnville. For those who don't know, Oscillating headlights are grandfathered into the FRA requirement for ditchlights. So, if you have a functioning Mars light, you don't have to have ditch lights. This is the reason (I assume) the units George Lavacot owns has brand-new looking Mars lights on them. |

Before running out to Banks to get the POTB interchange, the 3005 rests in St. Marys yard. Naturally, there was no good place to park for a clear shot. This engine, when acting right, is one hell of a puller. |

Day Linnton Switcher |
| Description: |
We did a power swap this morning, and we got Lavacot Locomotive Works SD9E 4433. I'm stopped to make a cut on these cars which are destined for the BN. This side, the class light is bmanked over, but the other side still has it, so I turned it on :) Somehow, even though I had it on the "FRONT" setting, the MARS light was on on the rear. The switch to make the selection is very hard to operate and I had to question wether or not it was functioning properly, I guess it wasn't. |

Here I am, throwing switches again. When your conductor is 30 cars away, and you are going to head in his direction, there is NO good reason to make him walk an extra 30 cars, when you are totally capable to do it yotrself. Theres that Mars light :) :) If Mr. Lavacot sees this, I want to thank him for having such nice running locomotives! :) |

Odd Bedfellows |
| Description: |
On my way (in the 1853) back to the depot, I rolled by the odd set of motive power just outside the shop. Probably 2 more minutes and the shadows would have taken over the trucks! Now, the WPRR 101 and 102 swapped numbers last month, so WPRR 101:1 became WPRR 102:2 and WPRR 102:1 became WPRR 101:2. I know it had something to do with being mated to the 3001 and 3002, but why not just change the consist, instead of going through all the trouble to renumber a locomotive?? In the background you can see our old P&S SW1200, which is supposed to be getting a new truck, while the 1501 is supposed to be getting new wheels. |

Yet another BNSF train seen from the cab of LLW SD9 4433; 11,800 horses have control of this Z-PTL train. He was creeping along, as he was waiting for the Willamette River draw to get locked up. |
