I don't original post about star trek often but I have to say I really do respect Rom because he said 'I am going to break the cycle' and then did. And in doing so he somehow brought his whole species along with him.

Caddys in the Snow by Greg Brown Via Flickr: It's a January morning on the Siskiyou Line in 1988. Southern Pacific 4313 is hard at it, crunching cars with another SD9. The venerable EMDs are at Belleview siding, switching out the Croman Corporation mill on the south side of Ashland, Oregon.

Leased Muscle

The Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway hauls taconite from the iron ranges of upper Minnesota to Duluth and Two Harbors on Lake Superior. From there the product is hauled by ship to blast furnaces located lower in the Great Lakes, such as Gary, Indiana.

During the winter months, when the Great Lakes fleet is frozen out of the game, the DM&IR leases some of its power to other roads. [Or at least they did when I was shooting back in the late 1970s.]

More than once I saw these intriguing units on the Illinois Central as well as on the Louisville & Nashville. I’m pretty certain the one pictured here is at an IC yard in Louisville. DM&IR 162 is an EMD SD9 built in April of 1959.

First generation hood units and Mount Hood by Greg Brown Via Flickr: On the first day of spring 1993, Southern Pacific's Hillsboro Roustabout rolls west on the Tillamook Branch near Beaverton, Oregon. At the time, 20 of SP 4373's kin were working on the Willamette & Pacific, which had just started operating the previous month.
