Here is what little ol' me caught up in New Haven today after coming up on #6504 and having a small amount of time to walk around!!

Here is a GP40-2H, all for you GP lovers!! Up close and personal!! (Had I had more time, I would have took you all inside.....sorry, maybe next time!! :-)) #6698

WHOA!! Look what little ol' me found still languishing in the "Bone Yard"!! FL-9s!!! And of course, a Gennie (left) had to spoil it!! :-P

More Gennies!! More better looking actually than the Amtrak Gennies!!

A look at the CDOT Maintenance Shop (next time, I shall take you inside, time permitting!!), where Gennies and GPs mingle!! (IMHO, Gennies be gone!! GPs forever!!!)

And of course, no trip to NH would be complete without a few "Reds"!!

M-4s, east end of my equipment from #6504......

Nice photos as always.

The dead F's are a sad sight. Many of have pleasant "F"-ing memories.

Thanks, Doc!! :-)

Yeah, I loved them when they were in service!! With their typical EMD groan and growl when accelerating (not a loud WHIRRRRRRRRRR!! like the BL-Shits, like it is some kind of oversized Hoover vacuum cleaner!! :-P)

The F-10s were especially better!! I love the old school, old time feel of riding in them with their cabs largely unchanged since their pre-MNR days appearance wise!!

Yeah, seeing them in the "Bone Yard" does indeed suck!! :-(

Wow, Paul. Some great finds there. How long have those FL-9's been hanging around NH?

And I LOVE that third photo with the two P32's.

Thank you, kind sir!! Had I had like an hour to kill, I would have visited the Bone Yard to get them better. Also, there appeared to have been a few CDOT SPVs back there as well.

Somewhere in a little place called the OCC, everything gets recorded, and if one claims something that was not reported to the RTC that affects a train schedule, someone (me) got some 'splainin to do!! (Hmmmmmmm...to the Chief RTC, a trainmaster, and quite possibly NH Line Supers!!! Not a good thing!! Ruins the rep!!)

Which is exactly the reason why most railfans would not make good RR employees. You gotta be able to draw a line between the hobby and the job, and give the correct one priority.

At the image size setting I set my cell cam to shoot (2048x1536 pixels), the zoom does not work for it, and even when I set it to a smaller image size, the zoom will zoom in enough to size the image up to the same size of 2048x1536 pixels.

And I am still very very sketchy about bringing a $500+ SLR to work with me!!
