Lenny and Carl's Photo Blog

I bought my camera to photograph my cats (Lenny and Carl), but I love photographing trains and wildlife as well.

MOW Duty by lennycarl08 Via Flickr: At first I thought it was strange to see 505 parked and locked at Harrington, but then I noticed the row of center-beams loaded with new ties. Looks like some track work is going on on the old SP, now CFNR.

Waiting with the Cows by lennycarl08 Via Flickr: There was a serious waiting game on the Stockton Sub this Sunday, as 5 westbound trains had to wait their turn as the first two tied up the main at North Bay. This intermodal was the second in line on the siding at Collier.

ACE in Charge by lennycarl08 Via Flickr: SD70ACe that is. A rare sight at Collier with an EMD leading this Oakland bound freight over Hwy 4.
