Often times, this is what I do at late night… whenever I feel frustrated, bored or wanted to get some night air… just to refresh, free my mind and get ready for the next morning. I found the city at night in different dimension and light streams fascinating.
Here is my favorite route … one of the most winding freeway in US, the 110 FWY.

Remember when Average Joe Railfan's only hope of catching something worthwhile was just by virtue of showing up? I recently lucked into just such a morning of "old-school" railfanning.
With nary a "Heritage Units dot com" report, Facebook sighting, nor other railfan-network-inside-scoop-heads-up, I stumbled across NS 20T running under the abandoned C&NW bridge at Curran, IL, led by Reading heritage SD70ACe 1067. Better to be lucky than good I guess...at first glance, I thought it was a UP leader.
That paint surely needs some touching up, but I figure this unit's next trip to the paint booth will result in a new coat of the black and white...or the scrapper's torch.
De chauffeur van de kleine Steyr-Puch 500 laat zijn voertuig rustig uitpruttelen. De dagelijkse goederentrein naar Heidenreichstein is juist luid toeterend uit het station Aalfang vertrokken. Ruim voor de overweg komt het autootje tot stilstand. Met een gewicht van 580 kilogram heeft de in Oostenrijk gebouwde auto de net gepasseerde brug over de Romaubach beslist niet te zwaar belast. In tegenstelling tot het Italiaanse voorbeeld had deze Oostenrijkse variant van de Fiat 500 een 16 pk boxermotor die in het lokale heuvel- en berglandschap prima voldeed.
Ook "Gepäcktriebwagen" 2091.09 is een Oostenrijks product. Met bouwjaar 1938 is de locomotief aanzienlijk ouder dan de klassieke auto.

20T coasts through downtown Decatur with NS 8098 (Conrail) in charge. It's nice that older buildings, such as the ones here at Water St., still stand and call back to a time when Decatur was a thriving industrial/agricultural center.
NS 8114 leads eastbound train 20T past BE Tower in Berea, Ohio on a beautiful Summer morning. This Kansas City-Harrisburg train can frequently be seen around this time of the day amid the parade of morning eastbound mail trains on the Chicago Line.
While I prefer the WB shot at Lanesville, IL, I've enjoyed trying to make the EB shot work as best as possible. A few months prior, I shot the S&A heritage motor also leading 20T, but on a dreary day. I figured I would try again once an opportunity presented itself.
Earlier this week, the 8098 led 255 west across the Lafayette District and DH Line, which I regrettably missed. Thankfully the unit was spun in KC and placed on the front of 20T for a return trip east two days later. Running slower than normal, I was able to shoot Big Blue four times between Dawson and Decatur. The second shot of the chase displays a common theme for this stretch of the DH Line: railroad tracks on a high fill and the parallel Old IL-36 changing elevation in accordance with the terrain.
After 4 years of keeping my eye on the weather, the sun's movement back and forth between the northern and southern hemisphere, and the NS supplying a train at the right point in time, it all came together the evening of 01/10/22. NS 20T pulls out of the Wabash River valley east of Lafayette, IN. Purdue University is silhouetted on the other side of the Wabash River valley in the upper right of the photo.

The tide of retirements seems relentless. Signals on both the Southern-West and Brooklyn Districts are getting axed, as evidenced here at Raymond, IL.
NS 20T hustles north to Decatur past some iconic Wabash signals I figured would be around for at least a year or two more.
NS 120 sits stopped on the main awaiting the arrival of NS 122 from the East. Train 20T was also stopped behind NS 120 at the Tolono diamond.
The goal was to shoot one of the roadrailers out here but unfortunately, 256 who was supposedly in Decatur, IL never showed.
Sumas Mountain, lush green and forested, dominates the background while a number of dairy farms, ubiquitous to this region, dot the valley acreage and give off that sweet, unmistakable aroma of "dairy air" as the M-EVESUM1-20T rolls into town with 88 cars for customers both here and across the international border to the north in Canada.
Another fine trip up the former Northern Pacific line in the books.

Wie die Zeit vergeht - das EVU Lokomotion ist auch schon seit über 20 Jahren auf den Schienen Deutschlands, Österreichs und Italien aktiv. An dem Unternehmen sind zu 30% die Rail Traction Company aus Italien beteiligt, weitere Aktionäre an der Gesellschaft sind die STR AG mit 20 %, zu 20 % die Kombiverkehr GmbH & Co. KG sowie auch zu 30 % die DB Cargo. Ziel bei der Gründung des Unternehmens war, insbesondere die Brennerautobahn zugunsten der Umwelt zu entlasten und die Güter auf die Schiene zu bringen. Eine relativ neue Leistung von Lokomotion ist der DGS 44131 von Plattling nach Poggio Rusco. Mit diesem Zug wird Zucker nach Italien transportiert. Am 09. Oktober 2024 war die Jubiläumslok 193 774 eingeteilt, bei Niederaudorf gelang eine Aufnahme der Leistung mit dem Kranzhorn als Hintergrund.
How time flies - the rail transport company Lokomotion has also been active on the German, Austrian and Italian railways for over 20 years. The Rail Traction Company from Italy holds a 30% stake in the company, while other shareholders include STR AG with 20%, Kombiverkehr GmbH & Co. KG (20%) and DB Cargo (30%). The aim when the company was founded was to relieve the pressure on the Brenner motorway in particular and to transfer freight to rail. A relatively new service provided by Lokomotion is the DGS 44131 from Plattling to Poggio Rusco. This train transports sugar to Italy. On 9 October 2024, the anniversary locomotive 193 774 was dispatched for this connection and a photo of the train was taken near Niederaudorf with the Kranzhorn in the background.

The genus Leptophobia comprises of 20 currently known species. Three of these have only recently been discovered ( 2000-2003 ) and are as yet unnamed.
Most Leptophobia species are white or cream coloured on the upperside, with dark brown or black margins, but these vary in extent from species to species.
All Leptophobia are high altitude species, and are variously distributed from Costa Rica to Bolivia and Argentina.
Leptophobia aripa is native to Mexico, Central America and South America, but strays may be found as far north as southern Texas.(Wikipedia)

Kbal Spean est un site archéologique d'Angkor, bien connu pour son spectaculaire lit de rivière sculpté, au creux de la jungle au nord-est d'Angkor dans le parc national de Phnom Kulen, sur le plateau du Phnom Kulen, à 10 km. au nord de Banteay Srei.
(...)
Kbal Spean a été découvert en 1968, par l'ethnologue Jean Boulbet alors membre de l'École française d'Extrême-Orient.

« Mille linga » pavent le lit de la rivière. De nombreuses figures divines hindouistes sont sculptées dans le lit de la rivière. Elles se révèlent plus ou moins en fonction du niveau de la rivière. Leurs motifs retracent la création telle qu'elle est définie dans la mythologie hindoue. On y découvre ainsi l'apparence de Vishnu, sommeillant sur le serpent nāga Ananta. De son corps s'élève une fleur de lotus dans laquelle est assis Brahma, le dieu créateur.

Both days we were here the 258 (Old 20T) was a small stack train in the morning eastbound. Here 258 is poking along following 256 into Decatur. This is a Kansas City, MO, to Rutherford, PA, daily intermodal train.
A colorful and eclectic set of locomotives with distinctive histories are all on the head end of BNSF train Y-KCK1111-20T holding in The By's by Armstrong with a transfer from BNSF's Argentine Yard bound for UP's 18th St. Yard. It's a cluster as usual at the UP and a few other moves are trying to make their way into the yard, so it'll be some time before the 111 Job will get their signal across the UP KC Metro Sub at Terminal JCT. The working power for the transfer is a clean pair of GP39-2's, both orignally coming from the Santa Fe, however, the three engines behind them are little more interesting.
First is the GMTX GP38-2 No. 2139. It began its life in October of 1976 for the Rock Island as the CRIP No. 4330. The tracks in the foreground belong to Armourdale Yard, which is a former Rock Island facility where this Geep has undoubtedly operated before in its previous life. It later became a part of UP's roster as the UP No. 768, and it even worked in local service here in Kansas City later on in its career. It's since left their roster and became the GMTX No. 2139, first wearing GATX blue and white and now painted for Savage.
Second is another Savage painted engine, this one a little more unique. This is the SVGX SW1200RSM No. 7104. It was originally a GMD SW1200RS built for the Canadian National as the CN No. 1248 in November of 1956. In the late 1980's, it was rebuilt by CN at their Pointe St. Charles Shops at Montreal as an SW1200RSM, keeping the SW1200 frame but now equipped with the long hood of a GP9. In appearance, its similar to the ATSF "Beep", and similarly, these were nicknamed "Sweeps". After rebuild, it became CN No. 7104, later sold to CANAC International and eventually Savage, Inc., all the while keeping the same number.
Third is even more interesting than the other two. This is an ALCO C415 built in November of 1966 for the Southern Pacific as the SP No. 2409. Part of ALCO's Century Series locomotives, 26 were built between 1966 and 1968 for seven different owners, and SP owned ten of them. They're very distinctive with the raised cab, slightly off center and lower, narrow hoods on both sides. When the SP got rid of it, it found new life in Wisconsin on the Nekoosa Papers as the NEKP No. 21, later joining the Burlington Junction Railway's roster along with two other C415's as the BJRY No. 21. Today, it bears SPTX reporting marks and its old SP number, now en route to Railway Service Contractors, Inc in Kansas City along with another C415 from the BJRY. 1/20/26.
The M-EVESUM1-20T rocks rhythmically from side to side as it crosses Smith Creek and continues north at MP 113.7 on the Sumas Sub. In the foreground, a tree branch has fallen on the right-of-way, a common occurrence on this route lined with trees on both sides for the majority of the subdivision. During stormy weather, trains traversing this route routinely hit more sizeable trees that have fallen foul of the mainline.
According to some maps, (although I'm not yet positive on the matter), the headend of the train in this shot north of Deming, WA is almost exactly on top of the location where the Milwaukee Road's spur from Kulshan (east of Deming) crossed this Northern Pacific route, continued west, crossed the Nooksack River, and curved up to join the Milwaukee's route from Bellingham to Sumas in the small town of Goshen.

Dirt-encrusted SD70ACe 1168 leads stack train 20T under the old Chicago & Northwestern bridge at Curran, Illinois.
Thanks to massive amounts of summer morning ionospheric skip, ATCS Monitor showed this train coming when it was over an hour west of Springfield. This gave me ample time to shower and eat breakfast before heading west of Springfield to get this shot. If it was only this easy to catch eastbound trains all of the time.

20T with NS 8104 twists and turns under the 6.5 signals as they make their journey East, towards the city of Pittsburgh. Ben Avon, Pennsylvania.
A very short Monday version of 20T meanders eastward on the Lafayette District, following on approaches behind the 13J through Tolono, IL.

Right on the tail of NS 20T, NS 146 coasts east through Philo "The Center of the Universe" with a C40-9 and SD40-2 pair.
After 4 years of keeping my eye on the weather, the sun's movement back and forth between the northern and southern hemisphere, and the NS supplying a train at the right point in time, it all came together the evening of 01/10/22. NS 20T pulls out of the Wabash River valley east of Lafayette, IN. Purdue University is silhouetted on the other side of the Wabash River valley in the upper right of the photo.
The evening light is getting golden on a rare daytime run up the Sumas Subdvision as the northbound M-EVESUM1-20T leaves the quaint town of Nooksack behind and curves northeast mere miles from its the destination of Sumas, WA. The cut of double stacked empty trash containers on the headpin are creating quite a draft in their wake at the track speed of 25mph which has resulted in the trackside cottonwoods releasing their white dandruff in a windy flurry of "snow" as the train passes by.
According to a historic topo map circa 1900, just north of this location (Lindsay Road grade crossing) is the former site of a station named Crescent, which appears to have had a couple short branches come southeast off the NP mainline.
Also of interest in this locale was the parallel Milwaukee Road line located less than a mile away to the west, likewise curving northeast as both roads built to Sumas.
