Tractor with a broken axle at De Rijp, North-Holland. Look like it is not going anywhere soon.
From the hiking trip Wormerveer-Alkmaar
Chessie #8236 drags a westbound coal train past "RU" Tower as it makes a "Tower Thursday" arrival at the big yard in Russel. The B-boat is typical (for C&O), beat to hell looking and has doors open, but has accomplished it's mission with the help of a GP40-2. This was back in an era were men were men and railroaders thought nothing of dragging a loaded coal train thru them Appalachian hills, with nothing more than a pair of 4-axles. Just the routine, everyday thing, the way it was done.

Sie hatte viel Geduld mit mir, als ich sie fotographierte.
Axle loves to play with drink straws!!!!!! He will actually steal the straws from my fountain drinks! LOL Here he is in mid air trying to get his straw.
Clearing KK Bridge, these guys went 8 and sand in short order, digging in for Lake Hill and the grade out of Milwaukee, putting on a great show for the video! Bay View/Milwaukee, WI.
In 2003, high hooded six axles weren't too uncommon, but were still a treat. Here an extra section of Buffalo to Kansas City train M45 throttles up as it departs Bellevue, splitting the NKP fork signals at MP 251. Former Southern SD40 3177 was cut up at Cresson Steel in April 2012.

With a set of helpers shoving hard on the rear, Rio Grande train 79 meets a set of light helpers as it claws westward through Price Canyon between Lynn and Kyune.
Even with 26 SD45s on the roster, D&RGW was largely a four axle powered railroad until 1974 when 73 SD40T-2s joined the roster, followed by 17 SD50s in 1984.

The Terminal Railroad SD60I twins bring what is probably T101 down the Illinois Transfer; destination: KCS East St. Louis yard. A nice surprise after a late start with the kiddos on a Sunday morning, and I finally get 4001 leading in decent light.
For those who know the area, note the removal of the intermediate signals a block north at the Ridge Avenue crossing.
Axle loves my new comforter set!
Sorry I haven't been online much. I was busy this weekend and today I left work early feeling sick.
Three Metra SD70MACHs line up side-by-side at the north concourse of Union Station during the onset of the afternoon rush on New Year's Eve. A fourth MACH is parked just behind me and a fifth will bring an inbound train into CUS shortly.
Providence & Worcester train CT-1 heads north on the Middletown Branch with three C40-8s pulling a big train for Reeds Gap.

One of the last remaining units from Milwaukee Road days, F40C #614 leads an outbound train at CP Morgan in March of 2012.
Railroad car wheels/axles piled together at the site of a railroad accident. The wheels/axles were removed from the cars before the cars themselves were carted away.

While not we intended to shoot on the West Tennessee Railroad, it still turned out to be a good show from these old General Electric four axles. Three B40-8's and two B23-7's lug a 150 car train south from the CN interchange at Fulton, KY somewhere near Greenfield, TN.
A Northtown to Chicago stack train was hustling through Waterman on the C&I with a trio of four axle motors no longer plying the main line.
BN GP28M 1502 was rebuilt from a Northern Pacific GP9 and was looking good in Cascade Green.
Trailing was a former Santa Fe GP7u and a B23-7, making a nice sight as they zipped along the C&I.
Two-axle passenger car with longitudinal seats and balcony platforms with capacity for 16 passengers.
Series C fh (number 9) built in 1901 (Talleres Girona).
Villa María is part of the set of free-standing villas from the beginning of the century that face the Pilar Coloma promenade. It was built in 1925 with a project by the architect Francisco Maristany Casajuana.

Something different for F unit Friday - six axle BN F45s. A pair of the cowls roar past the ex-NP depot at Cheney, Wash. on June 29, 1979. Two workers are actually washing the windows on the depot!
Tacoma Rail's new SD70ACes 7001 and 7002 make easy work of a cut of cars at what is alternately referred to as Muni or Belt Line Yard.
Go figure - parts of Washington state are on fire due to weeks with no rain - until I show up with the first big storm of the season. Glad I could help; sorry for the 50mph gusts though.

Swiss Federal railways Re6/6 #11647 with a northbound passenger working over the BLS route, approaching Blausee-Mitholz. September 1996.
Metra F40C #614 sits inside Shop 5 for some brake work at Western Avenue for undisclosed reasons, of which will be announced soon. Neat to catch a rare glimpse of the oldest and newest six axle power in the fleet, side-by-side. The 614 is named and labeled for a former Chicago Federation of Labor Leader and one time Metra Board Member, Mr. Edward Brabec.
A perfect lubricant for fine carriages, carts, wagons, waterwheels, etc .
One lb. tin Mica Grease:
Guaranteed not to gum, nor run from the axle, and to preserve from rust or tarnish all polished metal surfaces…
Half the usual quantity is required.
Made by Frazer Lubricants, Maspeth, New York
Manufacturer of lubricating oils, greases, compounds and plumbage products.
Text is from the rear of the tin.
Circa 1900 (my guess)

A return to the disused Nant Gadwen manganese mine, this time a photo of the remains of the lower drumhouse and winding gear. This building doesn’t stand quite as tall as the upper drumhouse, nor are they in alignment, the upper one being up the hill slightly to the left. The lower house is however, exactly in line with the channel cut down through the cliff, a railway line would have carried the ore to a pier, where it was loaded on to boats, for onward transportation by sea. Nothing remains of the railway or the pier.
The photo was taken around half an hour before sunset.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
The local power assigned to CSXT L010 (formerly B731) rests in the former New Haven Readville Yard waiting for the crew to show up later to make their regular weekday turn up to Framingham and back. Six axle power is a bit unusual here these days and normally all you'll find in this small outpost is three GP40-2s, but back in Penn Central and Conrail days it was commonplace when they ran a Selkirk to Readville thru freight. CSXT 8822 is right at home here as she was blt. Sep. 1977 as CR 6413.
Readville is a neighborhood on the very southern edge of the city bordering the tony community of Milton. In fact it is 9.2 miles as the crow flies from this spot to South Station, but it's still technically in Boston! The locos sit almost on the city line and in fact the yard office just south of here out of sight to the left is actually in the down of Dedham.

The Grande was fond of 4-axle units moving their expedited freight as seen here with a train off the BN in Denver. Circumnavigating the lower loop at Gilluly on a fabulous day in September 1990
A railroad crew is onboard a four axle duo in the Cayce, South Carolina yard on Spetember 10, 2025.
CSXT 2813 is an EMD GP38-2 that was built in 1979 fr Conrail as CR 8279.
The second locomotive was buiilt as Chesapeake & Ohio (CO) 4263.
After swapping crews and adding another geep for tonnage, L&C train 10 rolls west through Fort Lawn, SC with an exotic MP15DC, GP38AC, GP40-2LW, GP38-2 consist pulling part of a loaded grain train for Kershaw.
A trio of 6 axle Alcos works hard to pull stone loads upgrade, seen here south of Emporium, PA. 5/7/15
A quartet of GP40-2W's lead southbound train L532 on CN's Manning Subdivision. Restricted to 4 axle power, this sub and the ajoing Meander River are the exclusive home of the GP40 model. Initially I had plans to shoot this sub over a couple of days, but with a forest fire taking out a bridge north of High Level I scratched that idea. CN has recently announced a plan to rebuild the destroyed bridge, which will restore the rail link to Hay River NWT, and give me anothe reason to head north!
A short 24 car Eastbound zips across the East Outlet near Moosehead. A different day with all four axles this job today no SD's. Quite the mix today with a GP38, B23-7, & a GP35U that had the train well under control. Despite the leaser upfront I was happy that that was leading other then some other rent a wreck.
