CR 399 is an asterism (stars forming a pattern) in the Vulpecula constellation, at varying distances from earth.
The shape it forms (often nicknamed Coathanger) is a fairly popular target for visual astronomy during the summer (northern hemisphere) or winter (southern hemisphere) months. As with many asterisms, the individual stars are nowhere near eachother but are instead just a chance alignment from our vantage point here on earth.

Crossing over the C&O's Canadian Subdivision No.1 with the Leamington Local, CR 5826 rolls down the Leamington Branch as it heads to the Heinz plant in town.
Conrail GP8 #5454 on job RO12 is pulling a cut of covered hoppers from Cereal Food Processing on 2/28/1988. Cereal Food Processing became Grain Craft in 2014 and is now closing in 2020. They are the last rail customer in this part of Cleveland's Industrial Flats that has had rail service since the late 1800's. Since 1996, this has been served by the Flats Industrial RR which is ceasing operation. CR #5454 was built as a GP7 for the Erie RR and rebuilt by Conrail in 1978.

HXD 21076 hauls a mixed freight train from Beijing to northwestern China and crosses over the Yongding He River at Guanting.
I guess it's no secret I have an obsession with Alco's and have shot and collected a pile of Big slides over the years. This is a CR train with ex PC 6311 leading an EMD and a couple more C-628's at New Brighton, PA in June 1978. No photographer listed, Chuck Schwesinger collection.
New Years Eve 1997 at the South end of Shire Oaks, PA finds CR 2031 on the back end of a WISO-84 that has come in from the Ellsworth Secondary, CR 6582 that appears to have brought in an empty hopper train solo, and a C40-8W and SD40-2 that have also brought in empty hoppers. Shire Oaks was a busy place back then.
The Conrail local pauses in front of the station in Avon, NY on January 8, 1988. The primary business at the time was to work the LA&L interchange. The local also worked the Kraft plant, although at the time it may have been Birdseye Foods IIRC. It was always possible to catch the LA&L coming down to get the cars Conrail brought in, but it did not happen on this day.
Excess power on this Penn Central freight is moving on track #2 towards Meadows Yard in February, 1976. Seeing some excellent 1976 period views posted this morning from Mr. Reiser and Mr. Morris made me think of what I was seeing in 1976, when I was a young 18 year old railfan and this stokes some of my memories from that time. Those were the good old days. For a view taken shortly before this, go here: flic.kr/p/CjDkyC
In de namiddag van 2 maart is de 186 269 van Crossrail 'Rhenus Logistics' onderweg met een goed beladen containertrein naar België als deze de fotografen passeert in Griendtsveen.
A Mutt and Jeff lashup for this Friday with a Conrail westbound on the former Pennsylvania Ft Wayne line west of Massillon. A former PRR SD45 and an ex NYC F7 team up to haul the eclectic mix of freight cars in April 1978. I don't know what train this was but a single ore jenny, some box cars, some tanks, and open auto frame cars will make some switchman's job real interesting.

A pair of PC black units are in the siding at the East end of Goodman Street Yard in Rochester, NY on 2/26/1978. Evidence of the snowy Winter that year can be seen in the PC gondola that is filled with snow. There was too much snow, and no where to put it, so gondolas were filled with the white stuff and then parked wherever there was room until it could be hauled to a warmer climate so the snow could melt.

Big ex EL SDP-45 6694 leads a Westbound that is stopped for a crew change at QD in Binghamton, NY on March 31, 1979. I mostly ignored the Conrail action around Binghamton at the time since the D&H was of more interest.
23 April 2017 - Vandaag kwam CrossRail met een GTS Piacenza-Moerdijk-shuttle uit het Italiaanse Piacenza naar de Moerdijk. Gezien ik deze bediening nog niet had, ben ik even wezen kijken, en doordat de zon er niet door leek te komen eens een andere plek gezocht.
Hier passeert de fraaie trein de 2 fotografen ter hoogte van de Moerdijkbrug opweg naar de Moerdijk.
De oplettende kijker ziet op de achtergrond de DBC Wolfurt-shuttle naar Moerdijk rijden, die in Lage Zwaluwe gecombineerd werd met de Segrate-shuttle en ook naar Moerdijk kwam. DB mocht echter eerst de Segrate-shuttle plaatsen, waardoor ik het plaatsen van Crossrail bij CCT niet meer heb afgewacht..
The Great Central Railway ran trains through the night on Saturday 1st June. I hope this event will repeat, with a little more Steam. 😀

My daughter and I went out on one of our photo expeditions this past Sunday and came across this gravel county road in the Texas countryside North of Houston. We had never been out in this area before. Looked like a good scene for this treatment..
