I was railfanning with my school aged sons at two locations. You can hear the two completely different responses we received.

Burlington Northern action-7-15-07-IRM Union,Illinois
Alrighty, time for a couple of Burlington engines. First one is a beautifully repainted Burlington SW7, and the other one is the recently reapainted BN #5383. We were right next to the horn when the switch engine came up. I have a U30C in HO scale, only that its in Chessie System paint. Enjoy.

CNW #411 at the IRM
The CNW Bi-level commuter train, pulled by CNW #411, runs at the Illinois Railway Museum on 10/06/07. Near the end of the video, you get to see a rare treat: Union Pacific C40-8's #9052 and #9033 running light on the old C&NW line.

B&M U30C #663 Goes it alone!!! Pulling HARD! 09/10/1992
B&M U30C #663 Goes it alone!!! Pulling HARD! 09/10/1992. Train symbol WADH westbound at Plaistow,NH. Power control must have been brave that day. Usually they left the terminal with 5-7 engines so they would have 1 or 2 running at the end of the run....they must have cut the dead ones out already so the old tub could pull the train!
