Not really a photographer, but I thought I'd share this, as the same ex-Cotton Belt troll under the bridge (#9669) has been living in South San Francisco for at least one and a half years that I have noticed. The overpass above it, I have traveled back and forth on for about 12 years. Noticed this SSW on the hood, and thought, wow... it is still not painted over? Someone decided to do a little custom graffiti to it one day.

To Brunflo I've travelled by Inlandsbanan. I guess some of you have heard about that railroad..? :) (but this was earlier than the last picture, I travell many times to Jämtland)

For some reason, I can only post one shot at a time while I am seeing others being able to post more than one shot at a time. What is wrong with that picture?
 
NS Train 64R (I think) Came through today with an ATSF Dash8 in the consist, forgive me for the bad photograph (and large image size), I didn't happen to notice the locomotive until it was right next to me.
