Remarks & Notes

It would be hard to imagine how different this location would look in the future when I took this photo of CNW 8509 leading a coal train at Reno Jct. WY in May of 1991. The small depot is gone and there are many more tracks, plus a loadout facility dominates the background. Too bad 8509 seems to have been delivered pre-faded from the factory. It eventually became CN 2008.

After years of service, even the most reliable of locomotives get worn out.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
