I heard you all like 420. No reefers today; have Southern Pacific caboose number 420

C-30-5's were built by SP from parts supplied by AC&F, built in 1949 SP #1270-1319 and T&NO #515-544. With the 1961 integration of T&NO, units were renumbered into vacant slots in the #420-464 series.Externally similar to the previous C-30-4 class, originally painted all over mineral red, Daylight orange end walls were a 1955 specification and Daylight orange bay ends as per the 1961 spec. Orange stepwells would've been a sign of a post 1980 overhaul. Originally built with a small smokejack, roofwalks, end ladders, large toolbox under the bay, all these things changed over the years as they were overhauled and upgraded. Marker lights went through all the variations, some even got the marker light above the end doors.

A somewhat crappy roster-shot from yesterday's inadvertent pilgrimage to the West Isle Line. The "geep" (GP9) 3399 was originally built for the Southern Pacific and thus carries portions of its original headlight cluster towards the top of the ends of the short and long hood. A hard worker, over 70 years old. Now leisurely chugging along a 5 mile shortline, once a week.

Much of the diesels i've denn building in Minecraft are six-axle units, so here's a four-axle diesel, and EMD GP9 in the Southern Pacific Black Widow scheme, that I have finish building recently. This was made using CraftyFoxe's Pioneer PREX GP20 tutorial so credits to him.

Milwaukee Road’s Charter Line, Part Two of Three

The Milwaukee Road in Wisconsin was originally called the Milwaukee and Waukesha, and then the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad. Late in 1976, I followed a train eastward on the line from Milton or so nearly to Waukesha. I believe the railroad was built through the area in these photographs in 1852 or 1853. This is the second of three posts.

This post begins with our little train just east of Palmyra, at Carlin Trail. I’m happy to have gotten a decent shot of a Milwaukee Road rib-sided caboose here. The third image shows the train at Grove Street, in Eagle, Wisconsin, while the last picture has it at the depot in North Prairie.

Four images by Richard Koenig; taken November 26th 1976.

Are you being serious asking why the members of cp9 are being promoted? They were a highly skilled assassination unit. And during the time skip I'm sure they were still if not even better after enies lobby. Lucci and Kaku became part of cp0 after that. And it wasn't cause they felt bad for them? The strawhats beat them but that doesn't mean they were bad at what they did. They may not be the threat they used to be but don't act like they weren't ever a legitimate threat.

Look, I'm surprised none of them got fired after what happend on Enies Lobby! Just take a moment and see it from a marine perspective right.

- The most dangerous woman in the world escapes

- A secure/important government island gets destroyed

- BY A TINY ASS pirate crew no-one heard about

- All agents get their asses kicked

- They ran off with the giants (they used as slaves)

- The weapon blueprints get burned

Basically their entire mission they worked for years for completely and utterly fails. Someone has to take responsibility for that. The Marines need to explain this to the world government right...

And we all now how forgiving they are, when it comes down to failures that makes them look weak....

All I'm saying is, it does not matter if they are strong now or strong then.. They failed a mission. As a super secret spy that usually means death.
