Arnold, always nice seeing the older veterans.

LP, for sure they just keep on going, 120+ year of riding the rails and earning their keep.

Paul, there seems to be an annual unscheduled burn along this section of track each spring that helps keep them low.

Nice pic! Bursting with colour! How long before those brown ditch weeds begin blocking your shots?

The 38′s are looking at 50 years and the 9′s are doing the 70 year range. They have made General Purpose seem more like PB (Pink Bunny).

Great to see an old soldier that has not yet fallen. She looks tired, though. “Wait! A soldier a ‘she’ ???” Well, this IS 2026. )
