  1. Lots of good pics Ken. Brought back many memories of chasing the Dublin in the late 80″s and early 90’s. The shot at Colony Rd. in particular. I chased a very late QALLA there with Warbonnet GP60M’s leading. Drove all the way from Eulesss just to get this shot and stood precariously on the top of a corner fence post to get the elevation from the other side of the tracks. Keep up the good work.

    1. I cannot make a trip down there without remembering the days when the Dublin Sub hosted the Santa Fe’s west coast trains and the signals were active. Those were fun days!

      1. Gotta love the “poor mans” CTC. Once you learned it, railfanning that line could be a chess game.

        1. Yes, and the days Al Coppinger was dispatching his “for our benefit” discussions of upcoming meets on the radio made it even easier.

          1. Yes, thinking out loud over the radio.”twenty minutes to Cresson…” I think he did it sometimes just to aggravate us.

  2. After all these years, I still come back and check your blog for the excellent photos and stories. Glad to see you’re still around, Ken!
