Summer 2010 Local Photos
Photos by J. David Ingles
| With the summer turning very wet, hot, and humid, we didn't do much local work with the digital camera, but here is a selection from July and August of the "highlights." |
| America's Birthday, America's Train, America's Hogger ... and we're all Number One! Engine 1 leads Amtrak #7, the Empire Builder, thru Duplainville on July 4th, 2010, with friend Craig Willett at the throttle. He always waves a timetable -- that's the white thing in the engineer's side window. |

| Our local slide group's annual outing at Whiskey River Railway in Marshall, Wis., this year for a change was assigned the "Gene Autry" 4-6-2 dressed in Daylight colors. |

| Our local engine on the CN for Waukesha-based L504 for much of the summer was GP40 IC 3138. This is south of Sussex, Wis., returning from switching printer Quad/Graphics. |

| The old Milwaukee Road depot from Sturtevant, Wis., an Amtrak Hiawatha stop, has been moved to a county park a few miles to the northeast; it was moved in two pieces, and by Aug. 16 had been put back together; this is on 5-Mile Road in Caledonia. |

| On August 16th, Amtrak #7 had three FRA Office of Safety cars on the back end; photo in Wauwatosa by Carol Ingles |

| The focus is kind of soft, but the consist is neat on CP 487, "the DM&E train," following #7 out of Milwaukee, with two leasers in UP colors bracketing two DM&E units, one blue and yellow, the other still in CP red. |
