MG Tower in the rain in April 1989, with a westbound Conrail freight making its assault on the Alleghenies west of Altoona, PA. I'd driven all the way from Alabama and wasn't going to let gloomy weather deter me from my hike up the mountainside to this remote location. MG stands for "Middle Grade" and the tower was built during WW-II to control crossovers and keep the (then) 4 Track mainline fluid. This remains a very busy line today under Norfolk Southern's ownership. [Nikon N2020, 50mm, Ektachrome]

Blackhead shot at Promontory
Looking closely at my earlier post from today I'd say the blackheads pic is from the 119 and not the Jupiter as I said earlier.

Such fine pictures! Shop facilities are always fascinating to see, with all of the specialized tools, equipment and rare skills in view. Even the smell of machine oil makes me smile. A late railroad friend once told me that "everything on a railroad is big, heavy and dirty" and boy was he right.

Great shots - great blog
From this morning, NS Train 156 just north of Columbia, SC headed to Charlotte, NC. Overcast day, which was a blessing for this shot, as I'd otherwise have been shooting into the sun. NS has been replacing it's time-honored Southern Rwy. searchlight signals with the new hooded tri-color "Darth Vader" signals you see here. That's a traditional Southern Rwy. whistle post to the right, signifying the standard horn blasts for a highway crossing -- two longs, a short and another long.
