HAPT's Brief Visit to the Mojave Desert


So short, but when business brings us places, they're paying the dime so I fit in what I can. On a trip between Anaheim & Las Vegas I managed to steal a few minutes in beautiful downtown Barstow CA. Here are a few shots:

Here's a shot of the Barstow Harvey House:

Here's what is left of the passenger platforms, and the east end of the freight yard:

Interesting details in the photos! A pair of the latest UP "winged, flagged and flaired" SD70's, or whatever eco-friendly tag they get now (ES70M?). Nice shot.

I like the collection of loco's too. That silver one must be one of the FP45's ATSF/BNSF donated to various museums, like the one in Wichita. The little GE 44 Tonner looks out of place next to the others that probably "dress out" past 200 tons. The kid playing on the lead unit sure looks tiny on that SD40(?) (doesn't look like an ex-SP - few lights patched over).

The GE 44 tonner reminds me of
"THE MIGHTY 150" Nice shots Paul.

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
