Kind of a modeler's slant (sorry) but I have just viewed the Bowser HO F3 units that the Rock Island received from the Union Pacific back in the 1970's. Bowser's gray paint on the trucks is obviously not patterned after the original UP gray, wanted to …

More often than not, gray skies can settle in and blanket the valley for days on end. Those days can present unique photo opportunities along Central California Traction's Central Valley Branch. Lately, Dieselmotive Company's BUGX 2000 has been enlisted to work CCT's Lodi Flyer, a Monday-Friday roundtrip turn between Stockton, CA-Lodi, CA.

There were various colors for Milwaukee Road depots. I believe that in late years, the depots were painted with grey and dark reddish brown colors. These photos are from the South Dakota State Historical Society and said to be from 1979. This is …
