Nice video MQT. I like those new (used) GP38-2's.

The part that make the yellow better is the blue on top. I don't like UP yellow with the gray on top. Thumbs up MQT! (even though I still prefer 3001)

So the MQT is reviving the old TSBY color scheme???

I'm digging the C&O caboose along with the MQT cab! I wish I could have been there and can't wait to see some photos in addition to this great video segment

Here's from Scottville to Ludington then up to Manistee, mostly photos in the dark.
Scottville. A wedding party had their photo taken on the train.

The overpass west of Scottville.

I saw JT's shadow. This means that there will be 9 more days of Autumn.

Every time I drive by that trestle I just shake my head. The fact that it's so accessible to shoot and it's so overgrown makes me sick. If that bridge were wide open for shots, it would make for an amazing scene, especially in the winter on a sunny day. The sun angle there in the afternoon is perfect....providing a train is rolling south through there at that time.

I've only processed a couple of shots so far, so this is what I have for now.

And a "What Could Have Been" shot:

Nice shots everybody. MQT 2005 really doesn't look too bad with the blue over yellow, makes a surprising difference over the UP hand-me-down look, gives it little more of its own personality imho.

Pretty picky on that first picture, having me move my vehicle.

Great picture from Custer.
