Any Train Enthusiasts Out There?

Obviously, some of these guys have talent they should be using it for something good though. I can imagine a lot of the paint is stolen .

Lady Luck smiled down on me this morning.....we are on a few days getaway to SE Wisconsin, I was just preparing to turn left out of a parking lot when I heard an approaching train and crossing lights began flashing to my right. So, I felt obligated to turn right and wait at the crossing. I could only see about 100 yards up the tracks due to trees and a curve, I fully expected some ho-hum class I loco to come into view. I was pleasantly surprised when this Wisconsin & Southern sd40 came rumbling by!!!

Very nice shot Ike.
Not sure where south eastern Wisconsin is, does not sound like you are too far from IRM. Either way may you have safe travels.

We were a little north of Milwaukee, Steve. Normally, I would have gone up 294, but we had to take a more westerly route a little further from Elgin. The IRM is definitely on my list, and when it happens I will be contacting you. Thanks for the comment.

Fine photos fellers. I tried to get a photo of a CSX they other day the boss was driving parallel to it and they didn't turn out.

Just so you know Ike if you are traveling north/south on interstate 39 you are definitely closer to Union than on 294.
Hopefully you get this way this summer.

Cool catch, Ike. You never know what you might find when you're out roaming around.
