Metra 116 on 116 Day yesterday my train home from downtown Chicago. Taken: 1/16/25

Got another unexpected Fakebonnet Leader again. BNSF 705 leads the HGFDBRC Manifest Mixed train as CN 8843 is the rear DPU Nose in. I almost got it at LaVernge but then managed to head down to the BRC Mainline and got a better shot this time thanks to my friend Kern for driving. Taken: 1/15/25

During my visit to MSI yesterday when explaining the Nebraska Zeyphr while you can see and ride the train at IRM. One out of 3 CB&Q Zeyphrs in existence!

Model Train Monday: Just some quick shots of MSIs Great Train Story with BNSF D9s leading which I haven’t seen since I was a kid at least, plus Metra 98 taking a turn doing the Metra train, and a BN switcher as well.

Here’s some of my favorite BNSF SD70ACE and H2 D9 shots

My favorite BNSF 25th Anniversary Unit Shot, 7695, and one of the Frankenbonnet Units 4729.

My Favorite BN Shots that I’ve taken on the BNSF. The one BN train I would love to have in my BN shots is a BN E9 which unfortunately retired before I was born.

One of the things I do I’m the creator of The Aztecgeek Series a comic series of my own inspired by Peanuts in my own way. Here’s today’s Sunday Comic Strip after taking a 8 month break.

I’m glad to be part of bluesky. I will be doing posts between my art, trains, and personal life as well. Can’t wait to share my stuff with you all! Have a great day!
