This pair of old warbonnets has been matched up for quite some time now. Yesterday they were in Superior and Grand Forks, while today they head back to Northtown.
A B32-8WH makes a rare appearance on the point of Amtrak's northbound Crescent, number 20. The 514 trailed on the 20 up to Lynchburg, but an engine failure on a Roanoke Regional led to that train borrowing the Crescent's lead unit. This gifted us with the 514 on the point all the way into DC. With the federal holiday today this train was abundantly tracked. Although cloudy, we'd be shooting almost directly into the sun here otherwise so I am grateful for the overcast skies! The location is the top of the First Street tunnel just below the US Capitol.
Painted for Conrail, stenciled for IC, pulling tonnage for CN, an uncommon powder blue "devil" and contingency give a good tug to the Waterloo-bound manifest traffic on M33791 04, curving across Catfish Creek and commencing its climb out of the Mississippi River valley and the city of Dubuque, IA, wreaked by delays and running hours behind. The likely culprit for the this M337's unusually late mid-afternoon departure from Dubuque has cleared out but left copious evidence in its wake, most conspicuously in the white powdery substance coating the ground and plastered to the flanks of the lead locomotive.
Seen about to depart London City Airport for Luxembrourg. This aircraft is in the Think Pink livery.
CN started to assign Dash 8s out of Proctor 7 years ago this month. Was cool catching them as it was something cool and different on the Missabe.
Here CN 2119 and 2131 lead 123 Utac pellet loads towards Proctor, rolling through Alborn, MN back on the frosty morning of March 19, 2011. The chug, chug of the Dash 8s was certainly different compared to every other EMD led pellet train I ever shot on the Missabe. Not long after this the Dash 8s would settle into their T-Bird assignment, but we would later get our fill of the Dash 8s rolling along the Missabe Sub. hauling limestone. So not as excited about the recent Dash 8 invasion as it sounds like it means the end to the EMDs and variety found on the Missabe.
Dash 8s are getting rare on CN as the herd has been getting thinned this year. So I was pumped to see 2162 leading Toronto - Port Robinson train #421 a few minutes after sunrise on this Saturday. The dynamics are working to keep the train's speed under control as they drop down to lake level. It was the first day of a week long vacation for me and and thing's were off to a good start.
G-JEDP wore Flybe's 'Low cost, but not at any cost' livery from 2004-2014, promoting the environmental benefits of using the Dash 8 Q400.
C-GUKH, a De Havilland Canada DHC-8-402 Dash 8-400, landing on runway 33 at Downsview Airport in Toronto, Ontario.
Serial number 4633 was arriving as DHC4633 (De Havilland Canada) after performing its first flight. It was four hours and 35 minutes long.
This aircraft is expected to be the last Dash 8 produced at Downsview, where De Havilland has been operating for 92 years. No date has been set for a resumption of the type's production, nor has it been announced where that might take place.
Dash 8 production totaled 1,304 units.
They included 299 -100s, 105 -200s, 267 -300s and 633 -400s.
Recently out of the deadline and back in service, a trio of CSX dash 8s take L411 south through the daylighted tunnel at Eagle Cut. This time around it seems the dash 8s have largely been captive local units, but I'm not one to complain about having nice captive power in Cincinnati.
Amtrak P32-8BWH #510 is lit up perfectly right before the sunset light starts gleaming along the coastline. Hearing those old GE locomotives work while throttling up was like being born again in the early 2000s when these were very common here on the Amtrak Coast Starlight.
Well the lighting was not as good as yesterdays 385, todays made up for it in the power department.
Here we see 385 working Paris with BCOL 4611 GECX 7315 and CN 2117. Three different schemes, three different GE C40-8 models. Not bad!

Snow is falling and the open flame switch heaters are burning as AMTK 518 leads Hiawatha service 331 through the A2 interlocking. The 518 and Superliner would be cut off in Milwaukee for training there as I understand

Talk about a rare leader on The Borealis! For the first time in years, a B32-8, lead an Amtrak Train up towards the Twin Cities! With the sun shining, all of the colors were bright and vivid. Complete with a depot, clouds, and bluffs behind it!
