The National Trust's Baddesley Clinton, a moated manor house near the historic town of Warwick, was the home of the Ferrers family for 500 years. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland.
UP ET44AC 2641 leads a intermodal over the bridge into Clinton, IA. The signals here were recently replaced.
I was hoping for sun since the curve just east of here is spectacular and perfectly lit, but alas I had no luck. So in an attempt to make something of the situation I decided on this angle that I'd never actually done that only works on a cloudy day.
CSXT local B724 from Framingham is making its tri-weekly journey out to the end of the line on what is CSXT's last true branchline in all of New England that they still own outright.
They are crossing over Pan Am's Worcester mainline and passing the dual level former Union Station that was built in 1918.The structure was designed by architect Robert C. Reamer better known for his work in the Western US including the grand wooden Old Faithful Inn. Serving trains of the New Haven on the upper level and the Boston and Maine on the lower, it saw its last B&M commuter train leave for Boston in 1958, with the last New Haven train having called decades earlier. Today the one time three tracks overhead have been reduced to one on what is now CSXT's Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU13.4.

I use Flickr as my cloud storage, so I upload everything here: I have a decade worth of photos, check out my albums! I made a Ko-Fi page because I saw other people doing it. I don't expect anything to actually come of it, but on the off chance that you would be so kind as to treat me to a coffee to help me put more of my money towards film and bribing my models with snacks, it'd be hugely appreciated.

Lately, quite a few of Pan Am's seven remaining high hood GP40s have been leading jobs into Waterville. Today's edition of NMWA (Northern Maine Junction - Waterville) features the 379 leading an ex-B&O GP40 and Pan Am's 511, an ex-CN GP40-2W, along with a decent sized train. There's still a little lingering foliage on the trees, but not much as they roll by the westbound block signal at MP 102, outside Clinton.
After turning around on the wye at Clinton Junction, GEXR 581-12 approaches a remnant of the CN days as they begin the trek back to Stratford.
UP 4014 makes a slow arrival into Clinton Iowa on the UP Geneva Subdivision crossing the Mississippi River.
The pool at Baddesley Clinton has been cleared out waiting for spring. It does lend itself to some good reflections.

Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house with a long history, best known for being a sanctuary for Catholic priests during the Reformation. The estate has been home to the same family, the Ferrers, for over 500 years, and much of the current house was built by Henry Ferrers in the late 1500s.
The site was originally a clearing in the Forest of Arden known as "Badde's Ley" after an Anglo-Saxon settler named Baeddi. After the Norman Conquest, it was granted to Norman noblemen, eventually passing to the de Clinton family in the late 13th century, at which point the name became Baddesley Clinton.
The estate changed hands several times until it was acquired by John Brome in 1438. His son, Nicholas Brome killed the local priest he found flirting with his wife, legend has it that the murder took place in the Library, and the blood spains are still visible on the fireplace hearth. As penance, Nicholas built the towers of the local St. Michael's church and the nearby Packwood Church, known as the "Towers of Atonement".
In 1517, the house passed to the Ferrers family, who owned it for 12 generations and nearly 500 years. n the 1590s, the famous Jesuit carpenter Nicholas Owen build several secret "priest holes" around the property to hide persecuted priests.
The last private owners were Thomas Ferrers-Walker and his wife Undine, who restored the house in the mid-20th century. Their son eventually transferred the property to the National Trust in 1980, ensuring its preservation for the public. Today, the moated manor house is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house, about 8 miles north-west of Warwick. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland.
In 1438 John Brome, Under-Treasurer of England, purchased the manor, which passed to his son, Nicholas Brome, who rebuilt the nearby parish church dedicated to St Michael, as a penance for having murdered the parish priest, a crime reputed to have been committed inside the house. The house from this period was equipped with gun-ports, and possibly a drawbridge over the moat. When Nicholas Brome died in 1517, the house passed to his daughter, who in 1500 had married Sir Edward Ferrers, Sheriff of Warwickshire.
Henry Ferrers (1549–1633), "The Antiquary", who is believed to have built the great hall, made many additions to Baddesley Clinton, including starting the tradition of installing stained glass to represent the family's coat of arms. Such glass survives in many rooms. In the 18th century the great hall was rebuilt in brick and the east range was extended, though with great care to continue the style of the original building.
This may very well be the shortest haul coal train on CP's entire system, as they only drag it to the ADM-owned, coal-fired power plant in Clinton, IA, just a couple miles from the interchange where UP hands it over to the CP. On this particular day, we witnessed the opposite dance to that. Today, CP's bringing the empties back to the UP at one of the very few spots where one might hope to witness this move--at least, while on CP property with a CP crew on board and in charge. With that being said, a pair of UP AC44s bring CP 825 southbound (westbound) on the Canadian Pacific Davenport Subdivision toward the UP connection at NSS Camanche. Taken on 3/6/21.

Lights on the Clinton Park Bridge reflected in the still waters of the Arkansas River, in downtown Little Rock. The rail bridge was constructed in 1899 and has been converted into a pedestrian bridge. It sits right by the Clinton Presidential Library.
For Station Saturday here's the next stop on this fabulous spring chase of CSXT L004 as they make their way north out the Fitchburg Branch on a 30 mile trip to Leominster. They are at about MP QBU13.8 on the branch as they cross the brand new bridge over CSXT's former Pan Am (ex Boston and Maine Railroad) Worcester mainline at MP WOR9.2 (the new CSXT milepost). This bridge is brand new having been installed only weeks prior when the Fitchburg was raised to increase clearances on the line below specifically for domestic double stack service to Ayer when NS moves it's intermodal traffic to this route and the former Boston and Albany instead of its traditional route all the way west on the old B&M via the Hoosac Tunnel which requires single stacking the train. Interestingly this isn't the first time this line has been raised as it was done by Conrail in the 1980s when the original NH bridge was reduced from three spans to one and raised to clear tri livel auto racks when CR partnered with Guilford to reroute traffic from the Rotterdam Jct gateway to Worcester.
There are not too many over under rail crossings in New England but this is arguably one of the coolest account it retains its dual level union passenger station dating from 1914 which is stands at left. The structure was designed by architect Robert C. Reamer better known for his work in the Western US including the grand wooden Old Faithful Inn. Serving trains of the New Haven on the upper level and the Boston and Maine on the lower it saw its last B&M commuter train leave for Boston in 1958, with the last New Haven train having called decades earlier. Here's a cool blog with a few historic photos and interior photos if interested:

This line dates from 1855 when the Agricultural Branch Railroad opened between Framingham and Northborough. In July 1866, the railroad opened a 14-mile extension to a connection with the Fitchburg and Worcester Railroad at Pratts Junction in Sterling. The next dozen years were rather convoluted as many small independent lines began to congeal into larger systems, and by 1879 the route was part of the Old Colony Railroad, which ultimately came into the fold of the expanding New York, New Haven, & Hartford in 1893.
This line, like its sister route to Lowell was one of only three incursions of the NH north of the defacto "Mason Dixon Line" of New England Railroading into what was otherwise Boston and Maine territory. For virtually a century, with few exceptions, the NH ruled CT and RI and everything in MA south of New York Central's Boston & Albany subsidiary which ran in a virtual straight line between its namesake cities bifurcating New England.
Today this 30 mile route meandering northwest from Framingham is the last CSXT owned branchline in Massachusetts, with all the rest of any length that they still operate on having been sold to MassDOT. The branch seems to have a solid future thanks to the addition a few years ago of a busy new demolition debris customer near the end of the line in Leominster supplementing stalwarts like Ken's Foods, Newcorr, and Bestway Lumber.

Agriculture is the dominant land use in Clinton County, which is home to 75,000+ people, spread across 574 square miles (1,487 sq.. kilometers.) Most of the land is flat to gently rolling. A system of open public drains keeps fields from flooding during heavy rains. There are 625 such drains, totaling 1,100 miles long, (1,500 km.) The job of Drain Commissioner is a high profile position, and has been broadened to encompass watershed protection.
