Naast de buurtgoederentrein voor Delfzijl en het onderhoudsmaterieel van NS moet ook de dolimetrein van Lineas vanwege de buitendienststelling bij Hoogeveen omgeleid worden via Leeuwarden. Van de vier geplande treinen zijn er inmiddels helaas alweer twee opgeheven, zodat alleen de dinsdag/woensdag-slag overblijft.
Om de passage van deze trein van Lineas tussen Leeuwarden en Groningen mogelijk te maken, zijn er in overleg met Arriva buiten de spits twee sneltreinen tussen beide noordelijke hoofdsteden uit de dienstregeling gehaald. Hiermee is het mogelijk om een goederentrein via het deels enkelsporige baanvak te rijden. Met vier x per uur per richting een trein is hier anders geen ruimte.
Op dinsdag 13 juni 2023 stond de eerste beladen dolimetrein gepland om vanuit de kalkgroeve bij Hermalle-Sous-Huy via Leeuwarden naar Veendam te rijden. Nadat twee Belgische locomotieven reeks 77 de trein naar Sittard hebben gereden, nam een 1700 en de 2102 van TCS/IRP de trein daar over. In Meppel is de 1700 van de trein gegaan, waarna de 2102 de trein verder reed via Leeuwarden naar Veendam.
In verband met potentiele kruisingskansen met treinen van NS Reizigers bij Akkrum en kort voor Leeuwarden besloot ik rond Grou-Jirnsum een nieuw plekje te zoeken. Vlakbij Roordahuizum (Reduzum) vond ik dit open stuk vlakbij de N354 naar Sneek. Na een klein kwartier wachten passeerde de 2102 van IRP/Lineas met aan de haak 22 beladen dolimewagens op weg naar Veendam.
From last winter. I made a wide circle to place myself in this little critter's path of travel, and when it came through some tall grasses I was waiting - at an appropriate distance - with my telephoto.
I posted one shot back then, but I think I like this vertical better. Only rarely do they allow a portrait. Now tell me, where do the quills end and the grasses begin...?

Back to the wild. One afternoon, I spotted a Porcupine waddling across the upland prairie. Usually I see them in thickets; this one was in the open - and my dormant brain screamed "Photo op!" I drove past it, got out, and then walked a big circle to get the weak sun behind me. If the Porcupine was aware of me, it seemed to forget after finding some delicious roots to eat, and I slowly worked my way closer so that it was pushing through the grasses toward me. I noticed how much, despite its dark face, it looked like a bunch of grass. Sure enough, it emerged into the open, more or less. I managed four head shots, and about 200 butt shots as it turned around to show me its tail and rump armed with thousands of quills (a Porcupine has about 30,000 quills on its body).
It was a good re-entry after two weeks of suspended animation during the Polar Vortex. I had been sleeping too much, eating too much. During previous winters I didn't let minus 30 weather deter me, but those days may be gone. Strange to get such cold temperatures during a winter with almost no snow: it felt like winter, but didn't look like winter.

A Blue Mountain & Reading Temple, Pennsylvania – Philadelphia excursion has turned at West Falls. and is now accelerating through the curve at Belmont. Reading 4-8-4 2102 looks right at home in the former Reading main line. Although it will not be running on this portion of the Reading main under current NS policies, the big 4-8-4 is being restored to operable condition, and will run on portions of the Reading main west of Reading.
RBMN #2102 and #425 come southbound by Millers Crossing Road in Molino, PA with a sold out train in perfect afternoon light.

The Story: Amtrak's newest trainset's are in testing, and one is seen here heading to Boston, passing SEPTA's Torresdale Station along the Northeast Corridor. It was operating today as Train 874.
Everybody loves Reading and Northern 2102 but here she is telling us she loves us right back!
The stout 4-8-4 built in the Reading Railroad's own shops in 1945 is charging out of the north (compass west) portal of the 926 ft long Tamaqua Tunnel with a 17 car long fall foliage excursion headed from North Reading to Jim Thorpe.
This particular stretch is of Reading Railroad provenance and dates to 1854 so the famous T-1 is very much on home rails where she once served the RDG on both coal trains and the famed Reading Rambles of the 1960s. Today this line is known as the RBMN's Reading Division mainline at just about MP 100. After emerging from north portal of the tunnel here the will immediately cross the Little Schuylkill River and then do so again just behind me as they work their way up grade thru the colorful valley.

Tijdens deze donkere dagen voor kerst ga ik weer even terug in de tijd. Op 4 november 2020 was ik langs de Brabantroute bij de overbekende stek in Heukelom. Een opvallende verschijning die dag was de 2102 van IRP met een redelijk goed beladen containertrein. Het bleek dat deze lok door RTB-Cargo was gehuurd en in dit geval met de Blerickshuttle onderweg naar de Maasvlakte en hier in een heerlijk novemberzonnetje aan de fotograaf passeert.

Reading and Northern T-1 2102 was reversing into Jim Thorpe with an excursion from Reading's Outer Station on a cloudy hazy day.
A R&N GP38-2 was pulling the train on the other end as the 2102 consist was turned in preparation for the return to Reading.
