When I see a locomotive I don’t remember seeing before, I can’t resist taking its picture. So here you are: Locomotive 4816 of the Kansas City Southern Railway Co. was parked off Seventh Avenue in Albany on Friday afternoon.

Hope this doesn’t happen often
Last week, somebody went across the lowered gates at an Albany railroad crossing and lost his life, and people were shaking their heads why anyone would ignore all the warnings at grade crossings. And then I came across this today: Gates, flashing lights and bells being activated at the Main Street crossing without a train anywhere in sight.
