Here's my train waiting outside Manistee for the yard job to clear the main. Thanks for the idea Bill!

Nice shot of the lead loco. Is that MQTs color scheme cause if it is, it is pretty cool.

Nice one, Bryan! Is that location accessible for the public, or is that perspective only available for employees?

Justin, is this the first time you've seen 3001 painted?

The stretch of track along the water in Manistee is some of the most scenic in Michigan. Great shot!

Bryan, I think the people who view railpics would enjoy that shot. You should submit it there.

That is MQT's colors and I'm not sure if it's publicly accessible, but I can tell you it's quite the hike from the nearest public road. I prefer to keep off RailPics for a few reasons. Thanks for the compliments guys!

For the guys that were wondering, that was taken on private property. Martin Marietta owns that land and would probably go nuts if they saw someone other then a their employees or our train crew over there.
