Fred Stuckmann General Always thought that the U36C looked better, something's missing in the B. Nice shot though. 4/10/2011 6:24:31 PM
Dennis Weber General Good Shot. 4/10/2011 9:18:26 PM
Charles Burgess General Neat close up shot! 4/10/2011 9:34:41 PM
Chris S General Awesome mechanical drama as it happens; who would even think of capturing an image like this?! Awesome work, Bernie 4/10/2011 10:26:09 PM
Daniel Pike General Great catch. 4/28/2011 12:18:18 AM
Michael Eby General Awesome shot! A correction, though: this is the trailing truck of a Dash-2 EMD (such as a GP40-2). The newer M-Type truck (GE's used trade-ins), rounded handrail stanchions, jacking pad and notched side sill are the giveaway. 12/10/2014 4:01:01 PM
