Now that those little trees have leaves, they block my photos. They are Siberian Elms, which are a non-native, invasive weed tree.

I caught this around 9:47pm tonight at the fuel pad in Elkhart. Looks like a CSX ethanol train, or perhaps just CSX power on another railroad. It has been raining hard all evening in Elkhart.

There are tanks behind the two buffer cars.

edit: An NS leader in the 10-- series was added, and it left Elkhart as 64K.

Ha! A wet noodle!
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Here are a couple of photos I took of N910 going through Riverside today.
The temp is around 34, so there is no freezing rain, like I am hearing they had around Grand Rapids today.

Or push them over with an "accidental" kick. Do one at a time, and no one will notice :twisted:
