BHC 110
Title:  BHC 110
Description:  This is the smallest articulated steam engine I have gotten, the biggest is the DM&IR Yellowstones. What a steam engine to pull trains up the steep 6% grade to Keystone. It take at least 8 units for BNSF and UP to get their trains over the grades in California, so this is a feat

BHC 110 and 63
Title:  BHC 110 and 63
Description:  How often does this happen, a steam engine and a diesel meet in the same photo, maybe in the 1940s and 1950s, but often in 2010, 2-6-6-2 #110 is going to get serviced before the next rip and GP9 #63 is sitting silently, I would have liked to hear the 567 engine

BHC 63
Title:  BHC 63
Description:  This is a recently new addition to the Black Hills Central RR, I am used to seeing a GP9 with a cut nose like SCXY #1363, but not one with it's high nose still intact. It was a sharp looking GP9, but not as sharp as SCXY #1363

BHC 63
Title:  BHC 63
Description:  This GP9 used to run freights like all GP9s across the US, but this one found it's way to the Black Hills Central in Western SD. This is the 3rd GP9 I have ever seen, the first is SCXY #1363, then the old Soo Line GP9 at the Jackson Street Roundhouse, and now BHC #63, this unit actually worked in Minnesota before making it's way here
