Southbound ore led by 3 Bessemer Tunnelmotors crosses Slippery Rock Creek in Butler, PA. You can see the train doubled back on itself on the right side of the frame. Over to the left and out of the frame is AK Steel. The yard work is handled by the BLE, #907 and #836 were on the job.
Olive St. at 17th St.
St. Louis, MO
One of my favorite buildings in the city of St. Louis, this massive structure occupies an entire city block from edge to edge.
I believe the building is currently vastly under-utilized. I hope it has a better future ahead of it, one that does not involve a wrecking ball.
Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate, Lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face
She ain't a foolin' me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

Volvo B10M/VanHool
Church Hill, Bentinck
A motor in the Butlers fleet I had been particularly keen to catch up with for some time is P302VWR, this ex-Wallace Arnold B10M that has also seen use with Tourmaster and Pauls of Stoke, whose livery it retains with its current owner. I am led to believe it had been out of use for a while; returning to traffic only recently. On 4th March 2025 it was captured heading out of Butlers' Bentinck compound to take up school service 409 from Skegby to Ashfield School at Kirkby.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian friends! I hope you'll enjoy my latest set, a find of monumental proportions. I think, the best collection of old, dead, cars North of Calgary!

Butler's Wharf is an English historic building on the south bank of the River Thames, just east of London's Tower Bridge.
Butler's Wharf was built between 1871-73 as a shipping wharf and warehouse complex, accommodating goods unloaded from ships using the port of London. It contained what was reputedly the largest tea warehouse in the world. During the 20th century, Butler's Wharf and other warehouses in the area fell into disuse.
A few years back, I was working an assigned turn from Toledo to Chicago. The train I took to Chicago was a lower priority intermodal train. Almost every trip west 12 hours.
The beauty of the turn was the ride home. Not to be sacrilegious, but like Moses, the sea parted for this train. I would describe the job to people as we would crawl west to Chicago, but we would sprint back home to Toledo.
The dispatchers would weave and dodge us around everything but Amtrak. On this day, there was a bottleneck up ahead and both tracks were occupied. With no other options available, the dispatcher finally had to stop us. With just over 9,000 ft. of train, I found a spot where we would fit. If possible, I never stop my train on road crossings.
Knowing it was going to be some time before we moved, I got down from the engine and stretched my legs. It was a stunning morning and much to nice to stay on the locomotive.
This grain elevator complex used to be known as DeKalb. Up until several years ago, this was a popular stop for fans. The engine used for switching was an old Baldwin DS-44-1000. Built for the Detroit Terminal as their #103, the locomotive eventually ended up at the elevator and worked it's remaining years loading grain trains and switching fertilizer cars.
Sadly, it had a major mechanical failure and was replaced by this EMD switcher. There were rumors that the engine was donated to a museum. Sadly on a westbound train, I found this to be untrue. As we approached the engine, crews were busy torching it up. The carbody was already in pieces.
On my return trip the next day, the locomotive was almost unrecognizable. It looked more like a flat car. I do have shots of this engine when times were better and I am glad that I took them.
What we photograph today will eventually change or be gone. It's a fact. Document what you can, when you can. Time waits for noone or nothing!

It is a hot day in July, 2015. We are at Butler, Indiana waiting for the arrival of NKP 765. My job today is be the engineer pilot for the classic Berkshire and some 28 trailing cars from Butler to Toledo.
Like most ferry moves, the train is running behind schedule. This is due to a high level of revenue earning trains on the railroad. Deadhead moves, whether it be a steam locomotive or Office Car equipment, have no priority. Our train will follow the last eastbound out of Fort Wayne, leaving me with some idle time.
Butler is a great place to watch trains. Back in the day, The Wabash crossed the New York Central here. Although the owners of the tracks has changed over the years, train frequency here is very active.
Norfolk Southern now controls both lines, but they are operated by different divisions. The old NYC is part of the Dearborn Division, while the crossing Wabash is part of the Lake Division. Traffic on the Dearborn side is heavy and diverse. But the Lake side offers the ability for fans to see trains of Canadian Pacific. If you have never been to Butler, put it on your list.
After photographing trains on both divisions, a NS welder's truck pulls up. After some introductions, the welders inform us that they have some work to do on a frog. With most traffic already passed, the Toledo West dispatcher grants them 30 minutes of time.
I am always excited to see how other departments on the railroad perform their work. Watching these welders work was an eye opener. Once they had their track authority, then they had unload and set up all the equipment. With that done, now it was time to put on protective clothing and safety gear. Only then it was time to go work. And on a very hot day!
The railroad is not just trains going back and forth on the mainline. So many people across various departments due their part to make the railroad operate. I respect and appreciate all of them, but today this welder is at the top of the list. Kudos to the Track Department and their talented crews!

The forth Butlers vehicle snapped as it left their Bentinck compound on 4th March 2025 was V330TAW, which was new to Dublin Bus as RV598 and had previously seen use with Sharpes of Nottingham. It was heading to Huthwaite to work school service 410 to Ashfield School.
Near sunset in June of 1984, a good, old GP7 passes a GP15-1, one of the newer Chicago and North Western locomotives used in switching cars at Butler Yard near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Swinging the corner at Butler, Indiana rolling off the water level route onto the NS former Wabash mainline to Detroit CP run-through 22T has Soo Line SD60 6036 leading sister 6059 on June 30, 2007. The SD60;s were the prefered power on these container trains for a while as a pair of 60's could move a train faster than a pair of GE's
