By contrast Saturday is relatively quite. From the Dillerville Roadbridge, I made these very ordinary photos  of GP38-2s, SD40Es and SD60Es resting between assignments using my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are not calendar photos, nor were they intended to be anything other than a record of the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\"
