There used to be quite a few of them in the Elkhart, IN yard. Now just a couple/few. Was surprised to see this one in Lafayette. Been going down there a lot recently. A kid and their spouse moved back from OK.I've never even seen a slug before.
On that note, I'll take a 2 hour drive over a 12 hour drive any day!

No one here will see the 4014 on this tour? Do wish we could! In Elko NV #UP4014 enjoyed our rescheduled whistle-stop last night. Next on Friday is Montello, View the full schedule at UPsteam.com.

DuPont 16-wheel tank car DUPX 12401 was entering the CSX GENTILLY YARD on an SP-CSX run-through train in New Orleans, on its way from Texas to North Carolina. This was the first of five 38,300-gallon DUPX cars (12401-12405) built for DuPont by AMF in May and June 1970. These cars were initially heated and insulated; but by the time this image was taken, their insulation and outer jacket had been removed and they were in ethylene glycol service. They had an outside length of 92-07 with a LT WT of 144,000 LBS and a LD LMT of 382,000 LBS, for a gross rail load of 526,000 LBS. Car 12403 disappeared from the Equipment Register in 1991, but the other four remained in use until 2007 and were scrapped during January 2010.

Here is a strange one for you guys. Seen in Lead South Dakota at one of the deepest gold mines in the world which stopped mining around 2001, a compressed air engine.

Yep. I've seen a couple of those. First one was in the Children's Park in Rapid City, SD.
Here's a good read I've posted in the past....
