Parlant de cimetière, voici une première de quelques photos faites chez « Pieces d’Auto Colmor » à St-Amable. Un endroit vraiment impressionnant. D’ailleurs, en déambulant à travers les carcasses de ces jadis fiers destriers mécaniques, j’en suis venu à penser qu’il y avait dû y avoir plusieurs de ces voitures largement accidentées contenant un ou des cadavres!
Speaking cemetery, here is the first of few photos made at "Colmor Auto Parts" in St-Amable. A truly impressive place. Moreover, I came to think that the carcasses of these once proud steeds has to contain one or corpses in the pass!

The C&NW 1310 and 1309 work the boxcar yard on the west side of the GM assembly plant at Janesville, WI from July of 1983. Back in 1980-81 this same pair of MP15s were the ones based in my hometown of Belvidere, IL to work the Chrysler plant. They were sent up here to do the same chores--sorting hi-cube boxcars loaded with autoparts.

Norfolk Southern SD40-2 #6096 has just completed assembling a complete train of auto parts boxcars in North Kansas City, MO, including the Norfolk & Western 60' car next to the engine. Farther back there is a "Southern" 86' car. Many of the cars on this train are approaching the the end of their 40-50 year lifespan.
G&W 1002 switches out the Hamburg, Ford Plant. As the winter light fades fast they are making their pulls from inside the building.

What is likely a MEWLF heads west on the Del Rio Sub near La Coste, TX with a unique cut of 86-foot autoparts box cars on the head end, which are getting hard to find these days. November 2019.
During the dawn of October 13, 2020, westbound Norfolk Southern Roadrailer train no. 255 parts the ground fog near Clymers, Indiana, on its journey to transport automotive parts to the Ford Motor vehicle assembly operations in Kansas City, Missouri. No. 255 is passing Norfolk Southern’s Clymers Base Radio Tower which provides both verbal communications to train crews and digital communications to wayside interface units.
Judges’ Comments: This image speaks to how technology has helped push the industry into a new era, where railroad communication was once connected by physical wire and paper, it is now satellite-linked within a wireless world. Much of modern railroading depends on radio and microwave communications, and in this atmospheric image, both train and relay tower emerge from an ethereal fog through delicate twilight. The photograph’s subtle yet powerful emphasis of sky reinforces the image’s theme of contemporary railroading’s use of telecommunication tools.

NS 487323, is quite an odd ball in the way 86' autoparts boxcars come nowadays. 1 out of 10 known cars in 2002, and probably less today.
Less than two hours after shooting the trio of GP35s on #576, we caught westbound #599 rolling past the small shanty at the junction where the branch to McHenry split off the mainline. C&NW SD40-2s 6802, 6905 and 6822 have 148 cars of autoparts, autoracks and general freight traffic for Janesville and Madison as they storm past right about 3 p.m. on 6-22-1980. Waycar #10365 brought up the markers.

With so much junk and so little time, I shoot first and ask questions later. So I can't say what kind of car sports this swell hood ornament. And my go-to post-shoot research aid, Google Image Search, was no help.
out and about playing in the weather. when it rains in the mojave i head out! by the time i shot this on my way home in the early evening, the rain had stopped but the light was still quite lovely.

With the Harrison effect in full force, I decided to head up my more natural habitat on the way back home. Like family you go visit, I was obligated to check in and catch up. I followed the C&O North out of Columbus and saw a few trains with the typical motive power, though pulling up to the Turnpike changed the mundane voyage. It didn't take more than a second to notice the two EMD's on what turned out to be Q200. After some junk train cleared the plant, the RL Dispatcher lit these guys up to get in position to yard their train. They are passing one of the unlucky SD50's to be removed from road service years back.
This was the only CSX train I shot this trip. With over 500 engines supposedly heading for storage, this could be the last time I see these two. And beyond that, any SD40-2 leaders on CSX again.
I have another shot of this place. This is a little different angle. I have a picture from ten years ago when the place was freshly painted.
Running just 18 minutes behind autoparts train #145, Roadrailer train #255 blasts thru New Berlin with the third SD60E leader of the day. The trailing UP AC4400 is just 200 tons of dead weight, much to the consternation of #255's engineer. He vented his feelings on the situation to D31's crew when #255 met them at Hannel: "I got a 60 mile an hour train that can only go 40. What's the sense of doing that?".
