I forgot to put the memory stick back in the camera but managed to take some nice pics anyhow. I'm lucky enough to live in an area where you can still see BL2s, still in WM colors, in the wild, one of my favorite locos.

It's "see" Ben, not "sees". 
If you "sees" something, it would be spelled "sieze" as in to; take hold of something,inference usually being firmly.

Another pic stored on the internal memory of my camera and from yesterday's railfan trip while the wifey labored. A Baldwin VO660 I think.

| On one of my off days this week, I traveled on NJ Transit to High Bridge NJ and hiked to Lebanon NJ. Took pictures of colorful little station in Lebanon and nearby lake with late afternoon sun.  .  This cute station and lake would look great in model form on someone's layout.  Not to mention commuter train set in model form.

| Nice set Ben. The other day I went to Maywood NJ and took some photos of their quaint station.
Should be open to the public some time in May. They have a operating model train layout inside.

Here is one from last summer. This is a train of export locomotives, destined for Indonesia and South Africa. They are loaded on flatcars because their trucks are of a different guage than used n the USA https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid 10203688807139146 set rpd.1786425032 type 3 theater br / " border="0" style='cursor:default' onload='resizeImage(this);' onClick='doimage(this,event)'>https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10203688807139146&set=rpd.1786425032&type=3&theater
