Thanks Nikonpup,
It was a fun couple of days despite the weather and the old steam trains rumbling in and out of the station complimented the re-enactors very well and added to a nostalgic theme.
I am delighted with the D500 / 24-120mm combo for general shooting and the images are as you say nice and clear / sharp.

Thanks JH Foto - the Exif is in the bottom right corner of the frame - all images taken using the 24-120mm f4 lens.
In a Trains Magazine from long ago I recall a photo of the cab side of a PC locomotive where the crew had carefully stenciled silhouettes of cars, dogs and whatever else they'd hit with their unit. The area under the window looked like a WW-II fighter plane. More good shots. Galion looks like a nice spot with open views and good light. I wonder if there's a sidewalk up on the highway bridge?
In 2 visits to the Galion Big Four Depot I've been lucky to catch 2 trains each time. This line doesn't see as much traffic as some of the others I frequent.
I've never driven across the bridge I'm always under it. Next time I'll have to check it out & see if there's a sidewalk to shoot from. I've been through Galion many times, but I never knew about that great station until I read about it on the ARRC blog a couple of months ago.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think they're something like modernized SD-40-2's wearing SD-45 carbodies. While not true 45s, BLU piles on the power and they still sound pretty sweet.
