Former Santa Fe, now BNSF loco, idling outside of the shanty at Columbus, Ms. on a fine day. Jeff Robertson and David made the trek over to Mississippi on a sunday afternoon (mostly to see KCS's yard just outside of Columbus, which sucked compared to Columbus in general)(well, Columbus sucked as a town, but was a pretty cool place to railfan--NS, BNSF, KCS, Columbus and Greenville RR--tracks everywhere and lots of interesting stuff to see).
