Yes, I about pass out every time I see solid blue Mopac anything anymore, especially units that are just a year or two old in the shot. > It is probably an unusual one > since I don't think that those units wore blue paint for very long (correct > me if I'm wrong). 1981 to about... ten years on much of that class, but they 'got' the first one (4800) in 1984. They are now UP 200s. I shot every one I saw, but I don't have the whole class (and I'm not what would be considered a roster shooter, but I shot a few of those too). Dan has some great Mopac shots.

Since that is a short dash down the highway for us here, we probably have a lot more of those river shots under the ML King bridge from that parking garage and don't even realize it. Have to dig for some. :) I think Dan's shot is great. The frozen river (and a sunny day) doesn't happen much here though!
