Railroad picture of the day (the server isn’t dead yet remix)
Union Pacific switchers in a variety of colors, spotted at the south end of Brooklyn Yard last weekend, as we were driving by in the car. The proper way of taking the pictures would be to walk over to the (other side of) 99E entrance to the yards and take pictures with a telephoto lens, but the UP is a big Evil Party donor and they'd probably have me whisked off to Homeland Security reeducation camp before I could say Jack Robinson.
So, I'll take the pictures from the car, use the GIMP to rotate them so the locomotives don't appear to be falling off the edge of the world, and crop out the bits of the car that appear around the edges of the photo.
