Well, at least the Anderson, although the second generation diesels on Dock 6 might start to qualify as classics soon. A CP transer heads to Superior as a dock job spots cars for dumping. In the distance 211/212 and two other units wait to move a limestone train to Proctor.

New England Central train 608 runs south on the Palmer Subdivision passing through Stafford Springs, CT heading for Willimantic. The matching pair of geeps in the original NECR scheme has been something worth shooting in New England.
Built for the PRR in 1956 this GP9 in the service of the Adrian & Blissfield is passing by the classic mid-street grade crossing protection installation in downtown Blissfield. A former depot is half hidden behind the front of the Geep. Blissfield, MI 11/25/2022
One of my personal favorite Santa Fe images is this one of F7A 326 West at Ottawa Junction, Kansas, May 1, 1965. Note the classic A-B-B-B-B-B-A consist. Photo by Joe McMillan.
I never thought I'd call second generation EMDs classic, but in 2020 they do start to fit that descriptor. Now for a real classic, we have the 1952-built Great Lakes ore boat (laker) Arthur M. Anderson, unloading limestone at CN-Hallett Dock 5. The train, laker and dock are all property of CN. The Anderson is best known for being the boat following the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald on November 10, 1975.
50049 and 50007 approach Pontrilas with 1Z50, a circular tour from Birmingham International in glorious conditions.
The HDR classic auto photo is a bit clichéd, but we post it anyway. . . for the license plate . . . at a car collectors show in the park on Labor Day.
UP Big Boy 4014 rolls under the old CNW signals near Kenosha, WI, on a pleasant July morning. There were PLENTY of people here upon our arrival, and I was somehow lucky enough to have a small spot to myself to shoot video and pics.
All three engines on the First Coast Railway, FCRD GP16 1602, RLIX GP7 437, and FCRD GP10 1810, lead a mixed train from Yulee to Fernandina, FL with coal loads right behind the power for the RockTenn paper mill.

One year ago today, a herculean effort between KSHC, SARM, CSX, RJ Corman, and the KRM allowed the movement of C&O 2716 from New Haven to its new home in Ravenna, KY.
After a sweltering afternoon of official ceremonies, the night photo session of C&O 2716 and CRR 800 provided some reprieve and enjoyment to the folks blessed to attend. It was the perfect way to cap off its 3 day journey across the Commonwealth.
Again, thank you Tyler Hardin for the flashes!
Bennet Levin's Juniata Terminal EP22 5809 was soaking up the Carolina sun at the Streamliner Event in 2014.
Monticello's Canadian National MLW FPA4 6789 was sitting in the distance; it's hard to believe how long it has been since this once in a lifetime event.
Yes, I know... classic view, has been photographed countless times before... this was my son's choice, who is currently discovering his passion for photography :-)
BNSF 555 "Triple Nickel" leads Local102 West through Verona Illinois under an ATSF vintage cantilever on the BNSF Chillicothe Subdivision. 2/17/16
One of the most photographed sites in Iceland. Not really original but a location you don't want to miss when visiting Iceland...:)
A pair of UPY GP15-1s lead the Troy Grove local west through Cortland, IL, where CNW searchlights still stand.
CSXT train R004-13 is seen emerging from the 1400 ft long tunnel and approaching the School Street crossing at MP 0.6 on Providence and Worcester's Gardner branch as they head to Union Station and CP45 where they will get on home rails of CSXT's Boston Sub. This train consists of 100 empty system steel hoppers headed back to the Pennsylvania coal fields from Granite Shore Power's Merrimack Station in Bow, New Hampshire on CSXT/Pan Am's Northern Mainline.
Historically the plant, which was built by Public Service Company of New Hampshire in 1960 (unit 1) and 1968 (unit 2) was one of the Boston and Maine Railroad's most important customers. For decades an average of one 100 car train per week served the plant, and in 2008 (the most recent I could find online) over 534,000 tons were delivered. But in 2015 the plant transitioned from a base load station pumping out 482-megawatts from its two units to a peaker plant operating only during periods of extreme intermittent demand when generation is needed quickly to maintain electrical system stability on the grid. Today it remains, quite controversially, as the last coal fired plant in all of New England, and unit coal trains are few and far between these days. In fact this was the first one since the summer of 2020 (though a handful did run to Selkirk last winter and get cut up and sent in blocks on regularly scheduled manifest trains) so it rightfully drew lots of attention from local fans which was great to see.
I missed the loads going north last weekend but with perfect timing I decided to forgo a little sleep and try for the returning empties. This was even more of a treat since CSXT assigned the power off of M427 which was an old school classic quartet of two SD40-2s and two YN2 painted AC4400CWs. CSXT 8822 will be right at home when she swings west onto the old Boston and Albany at CP45 in less than a mile as she was blt. Sep. 1977 as Conrail 6413.
Historically this line belonged to the Boston and Maine Railroad, but the just under 3.5 miles of former mainline from the division post in downtown Worcester to Barbers junction along with the entirety of the Gardner branch were sold by the trustees of that bankrupt road to the newly independent P&W in 1974. As for this tunnel, it dates from 1956 when it was built to remove the railroad from the middle of busy Lincoln Square.
