Trains on google street view.

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

What's so rare about that? Just looks like boring normal modern equipment. :Confused: Most if not all of the members of the forum are older than one of the signals and a good portion are older than the other as well...

I just find the set-up neat, especially with how the 1980s CSX signal is almost entirely unchanged (many have had either the bells and/or gate mechs on them replaced since they were installed).
They/Them for me, please.

Ah. Maybe something happened to the previous signal on the right side of the road.

99% certain it was knocked down in the mid 2000s, so CSX replaced it.
They/Them for me, please.

Nothing special; just the typical switcher lashup in Bellingham, Wa.

NS 6079 (SD40-2) and NS 5188 (GP38-2) leading a phosphate or grain train in Garden City, Georgia. 5188 is a high-hood. Wonder why they were using that? Weird for a 41 year old. However 6079 was built in 1975! So that locomotive is 42 or may be approaching is 42nd birthday, Happy birthday NS 6079!
