Pic of the Day (Q-290-21)

Same old, same old....Q-290-21 (Detroit, MI - Cleveland, OH auto racks) running with 1 engine...but at least today it's a 4000 HP GE instead of a "rent-a-wreck," which happens frequently, and (surprise!) the train is unable to make anywhere near track speed. Today's one unit wonder seemed to be doing OK with the big GE on the front.

C40-8W's have been around long enough and are so common that it is easy to say "boring!" But there will come a day, as it seems to for all locomotive models, paint schemes, etc, when this will be a rare sight. Hard to imagine now, of course. But there is something in the "ordinary" of today that becomes the "extra-ordinary" in the future. Until then, enjoy the ordinary...ordinary is special, and you never know when it will be the last "ordinary" you experience!
