This wreck occurred on the Boonton line just off Interstate 80 and east of Port Morris and Lake Hopatcong.The road going under the tracks near the wreck site was called Shippenport Road. Some of the cars that were involved in the wreck were carrying rock salt and plastic pellets and their contents were all over the place.I did not manage to get the number of the crane involved with the cleanup but did notice that insulator on the boom which I never saw on Erie side cranes.Hulcher Railroad Services assisted in the cleanup also. 02-13-1974 Howard Kent Jr.photo.

With cars and debris strewn about, New York Central's Southwestern Limited came to grief after derailing at the diamond crossing in Wellington, OH on January 10, 1960. The big hook is in the back, doing cleanup work. With Coach 2939 to the left, Coach 2956 deflected outward and was awaiting removal. Note the shankless coupler still attached to this end of 2956. 2956 had been built by Budd in 1947. It was one of a group of 60 56 Seat Coaches built for the NYC by Budd in 1946/47 on Lot 9613-004. It would then operate in various parts of the Great Steel Fleet until this incident. Although the side facing appears to be undamaged, just visible is a lump in the roof where the other side of the car took a big hit. The damage was enough that 2956 was retired after this wreck.

Or removed from the trash can.
It's something of a crap shoot which behavior you'll get.

Since L070 has come back to days, it has operated like clockwork. Somewhat overshadowed is the L053, which skulks around the area doing work.
This day, the L053 with CSXT 8089 would hang out at Leeds Jct for L070 to pass after shoving a Rumford bound train into Den for its counterpart L054. Having finished my L070 chase earlier in the day and getting my chores done, I figured L053 would be getting close on time to make it back. Sure enough they cleaned out a lot of various pockets of traffic between Leeds and Danville and had a healthy 70 cars for the trip back to Rigby.
Seen here just outside of CP-Falmouth (former CPF192) hustling back to Rigby yard.
Chopper isn't the lickiest dog in the world, so I had to capture the moment.

Earlier today I went out with six teachers and 180 students to do a beach cleanup at the far end of Changi beach...we were pleased to discover that the beach is kept relatively clean.
The back entrance to the nature park I was at yesterday is right along the river and there is this dam. There is no parking near it so, I drove to the closest parking lot, and hiked back over to this location. I wasnt about to not get a shot of this.
I just wish all that clutter wasnt in the water hanging on the edge of the falls. I was hoping it would all flow over and get out of my frame prior to shooting. Oh, I do have very wishful thinking, dont I? LOL.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone. Im heading out to do some shopping :-)
and photos, of course!!

I went for a hike recently at Lockwood Trailhead Park on the banks of the Truckee River a few miles east of Sparks, Nevada. I stopped at a story board to read about the fish of the Truckee River. I knelt to pick up a couple of plastic bottles when I noticed more trash on the river’s edge. As I approached the water I found clothing, canned goods, tools, backpacks, sodden toilet paper, papers, plastic bags and more, much of it partially submerged in the mud. It appeared as though it may have been strewn about by high water conditions during spring or winter. I just couldn’t leave it and spent several hours gathering and packing it out to a nearby dumpster. While I suspect this may have been a homeless camp that may not be the case. The full cans of food and condiments and water bottles suggest someone’s or multiple person’s camp. Another possibility is that this was a thief’s booty as though they stole multiple back packs. There were 4 back packs and a duffel bag. There was no sign of a shelter other than the willows. Regardless I hauled out about 200 pounds of muddy clothing and trash. By chance there was a large dumpster in the park where I deposited the debris. I suspect the dumpster may have been placed in concert with a local clean up effort by Keep Truckee Meadows Clean a local 501 (c3) organization. I heard rumors that they had a cleanup day that very morning.

The Waukegan Local has just cleared the C&NW Old Line, taking the Rock cars back to Rondout after the Long West delivered them to Waukegan for some reason.
I'm standing in the former R. Lavin & Sons Brass Smelter property, now a EPA Superfund site after the company went bankrupt in 2001. The City of North Chicago took over the property and ran the cleanup, hoping to use the site to revitalize the city. I believe it is still vacant to this day. Historical maps show a spur off the EJ&E here that ran onto the property on an elevated trestle, probably delivering coal to run the furnaces.
