Hey, I'm Jessica and yes, I'm a female that likes cars and trains. :) I love air-cooled Volkswagens (I have a 72 baja'd super) and have recently really gotten into trains (railfan basically everyday since March 2008). If there's anything you want to know, just ask! My favorite lines are basically what I railfan...CP/SOO, BNSF, DM&E/IC&E. I love seeing all the old SOO power on CP. I'm more of an EMD kind of person. I love seeing SOO bandit MP15AC's, SOO SD60M's, ex-BN SD60M's, LS&I's U30C's, CP SD40-2's...and well, I think I could go on and on now! I'm not a huge fan of Amtrak, but it's a train I can usually count on, so I catch it. Also love seeing Milwaukee Road 261. http://rockchickvw.rrpicturearchives.net/ http://www.myspace.com/rockchickvwVideos (701)

A different shot idea this time. A WB BNSF stack heads wrong main west over the Vermillinon River in South Streator, IL. Pretty cool, huh?
