Southern Railway main line Extra manifest freight train led by EMD GP38-2 locomotive # 5229 along with two more, is seen while entering the yard area at Asheville, North Carolina, August 1985. Notice the white flags mounted on the locomotives to indicate an Extra train. The train is about to pass the Yard Limit sign in the Biltmore Village area of Asheville. At this time the yard and main lines including the branch lines were all busy with numerous trains operating throughout the day. This photo was taken while on a Southern Railway railfan excursion train trip that was led by the famous Mikado steam locomotive # 4501, with the train operating from Salisbury to Ahseville and return. You can see the engineer and the other crew member in the cab.
A westbound coal train navigates the S-curves between Thompson Springs and Sagers Utah. 12 February 2022.
Seen during a visit to Railtown 1897 in Jamestown California on 11-20-2015. Steam powered railroad crane, formerly of the Pickering Lumber Company. It looks to be in bad shape.
Penn Central ALCO S-1 # 9494, former New Haven Railroad switcher, is seen along a platform at New Haven Union Station, 1970. Certain trains were still handled as they were back in the day, with cars being transferred to other trains and a few locomotive changes were still being made when the FL9 were not in charge and electric power was being used between New York City and New Haven. The car seen first on the train is a former Pennsylvania Railroad car.

Denver & Rio Grande Western eight car Rio Grande Zephyr led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 and two F9B locomotives heads westbound along the main line to Salt Lake City while in the mountains of Utah, Summer 1980. At this time the D&RGW was not part of Amtrak and the Denver Zephyr was still owned and operated by the railroad. The train was in very good condition and provided full dining and lounge car services along with very comfortable seating for the coach passengers. On this trip I made a scenic photo adventure covering all areas of the trip detailing the mountain countryside scenes along with various train scenes. Notice the high exhaust stacks on the diesel locomotives that are actually spark arrestors.
The train crosses the profile of the Castle Gate formation. This was the return of a special trip to Las Vegas through Utah, 9 November 2022.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr soon to make its morning departure from Denver Union Station is having baggage loaded into the combine prior to the passengers boarding the train, Summer 1980. Actually much additional baggage was loaded plus some supplies for the small towns where the train makes its stops.
Voorheen kwamen we regelmatig naar de ZLSM voor de stoomtreindagen. Helaas zijn die enkele jaren niet meer gehouden. Maar in 2023 was het gelukkig weer zover. De eigen 1040 reed onder stoom samen met de HSIJ 22 'Tom' en HSIJ 57 ' Bonne'. Ook stichting Crew 2454 met de 2454 en de mP 3029, de SMMR 2225, de SHD 2205 en De Karel stel 466 waren aanwezig. De SSN kwam met de 01 1075 en 23 023 met een extra rit langs. Er reden veel personentreinen, maar ook enkele goederentreinen voor de fotografen. Een erg geslaagd evenement op een schitterende dag.
We used to come to the ZLSM regularly for the steam train days. Unfortunately, they were not held for a few years. But in 2023 it was fortunately time again. Their own 1040 ran under steam together with the HSIJ 22 'Tom' and HSIJ 57 'Bonne'. Stichting Crew 2454 with the 2454 and the mP 3029, the SMMR 2225, the SHD 2205 and De Karel set 466 were also present. The SSN came along with the 01 1075 and 23 023 with an extra train from Rotterdam. Many passenger trains ran, but also some freight trains were scheduled for the photographers. A very successful event on a beautiful day.
Wir kamen regelmäßig zu den Dampfzugtagen der ZLSM. Leider haben sie mehreren Jahren nicht mehr stattgefunden. Aber glücklicherweise ist es 2023 erneut organisiert. Die eigene 1040 fuhr zusammen mit der HSIJ 22 „Tom“ und der HSIJ 57 „Bonne“ unter Dampf. Ebenfalls anwesend waren die Crew 2454 Foundation mit der 2454 und der mP 3029, die SMMR 2225, die SHD 2205 und das De Karel Set 466. Die SSN kam mit der 01 1075 und 23 023 mit einer Sonderfahrt aus Rotterdam. Es waren viele Personenzüge, aber auch einige Güterzüge für die Fotografen da. Eine sehr gelungene Veranstaltung an einem wunderschönen Tag.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is seen operating on the main line along side of the Gunnison River in Colorado, Summer 1980. The scenic locations keep on appearing as the train heads west. EMD F9A diesel electric locomotive # 5771 is leading this train along with two additional F9B locomotives, that provide 5,250 hp for tractive effort development.
Santa Fe (ATSF) EMD SD45 locomotive 5598 & three additional SD45's are seen leading a manifest freight train on main line through Cajon Pass, California, ca early 1970's. This was modern heavy main line locomotive power back in this era with 14,400 hp being provided to the train. On the right side of the main line is a siding, and on the other main line track is a Rio Grande TOFC passing by.

New Haven Railroad locomotives FM DERS-6 class H16-44 # 1608 & ALCO DER-2a class FA-1 # 0401 lead an eastbound freight train with new U.S. Mail trucks on board flat cars ready for delivery, as seen from tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, ca 1968, Bob Hughes Photo. You may observe the engineer in the cab window of locomotive # 1608.
NS EMD SD40-2 locomotive # 6107 & another lead a manifest freight train southbound across a curved main line deck bridge, that's approximately 40 miles north of Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1987. Further back in the train's consist is TOFC equipment. This photo was taken while I was out and about chasing the N&W steam locomotive # 1218 that was leading a railfan excursion train. The Fall leaf changing colors were starting to standout among the trees. You can see in the lead locomotive the engineer and another crew member, perhaps the conductor. In the cab of the second locomotive you can see another employee riding in the engineers position.
New Haven Railroad DERS-2b class ALCO RS-2 diesel electric locomotive # 0508 wtih some old former NYW&B modified Stillwell cars in a passenger train that is seen along a platform at South Station in Boston, Massachusetts, ca 1950. The RS-2 locomotive was equipped with a steam generator situated in the short hood end. These Stillweel cars when originally built were AC powered MU cars that had a center door, but when the New Haven Railroad later modified them they removed the electrical gear, headlight and the center door to make them into steam heated suburban coaches.
This photo came from the Internet and the photographers name was not provided.

In 2023 werd weer Terug naar Toen georganiseerd door de Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). Hoogtepunt dit jaar was het weer in dienst komen van de 41 241. Dat was duidelijk te merken aan de hoeveelheden toeschouwers en fotografen langs de lijn ; ) In actie kwamen naast de 41 241, ook de 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 en de SSN 01 1075. Samen met mijn oudste zoon langs de lijn en op het depot doorgebracht. Het was schitterend weer; 's ochtends mist en later veel zon, maar daardoor helaas minder stoomontwikkeling. Weer een geslaagde dag uit.
n 2023, 'Terug naar Toen' was organized again by the Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). The highlight this year was the return to service of the 41 241. This was clearly noticeable from the numbers of spectators and photographers along the line ; ) In addition to the 41 241, the 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 and the SSN 01 1075 were also in action. Spent along the line and at the depot with my eldest son. The weather was beautiful; mist in the morning and later a lot of sun, but unfortunately less steam development. Another successful day out.
Im Jahr 2023 wurde 'Zurück nach Damals' erneut vom Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM) organisiert. Der Höhepunkt in diesem Jahr war die Wiederinbetriebnahme der 41 241. Dies war deutlich an der Zahl der Zuschauer und Fotografen entlang der Strecke zu erkennen; ) Neben der 41 241 waren auch die 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 und die SSN 01 1075 im Einsatz. Das Wetter war wunderschön; Morgens Nebel und später viel Sonne, aber leider weniger Dampfentwicklung. Ein weiterer erfolgreicher Ausflugstag.
Western Pacific Railroad EMD F7A diesel electric locomotive # 914A along with four other F-units is leading a manifest freight train as seen viewed going away in the area of Altamont Pass, California, March 18, 1972. In this scene you can see the high capacity boxcars of the era and they look pretty darn good to me. Eventually this railroad became the property of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1981, as did numerous other western and mid-western railroads over the years. This photo came from an Internet scan. The photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance. The original photographer's name is unknown.

Denver Rio Grande & Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is rounding a main line mountain curve while it is passing a MOW crew in Colorado, Summer 1980. In the distance you can see mountains beyond the forest area.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on a tight radius main line curve in the foot hills as it makes its way to the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Summer 1980. With the many main line step grades and the numerous tight radius curves, the trains speed is not all that fast, perhaps around 35 mph as it makes the climb. You really can hear the EMD 567 prime mover working hard. Again too at this location are ties set out on the right-of-way for replacement by the MOW crews.
CP 470-29 roars thru Sturtevant with BNSF SD70MACe No 9749 and CP SD40-2 No. 6009 for power. This surely was an unusual consist but I definitely wasn’t complaining about it!
In de zomervakantie van 2023 moesten mijn vrouw en ik wegens familie omstandigheden halsoverkop naar Aberdeen, Schotland. Tijdens een van de laatste dagen daar, bleek de Caledonian Railway een speciaal evenement te hebben; de Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Diverse door diesellocomotieven getrokken treinen reden tussen Brechin en Bridge of Dun. Op diverse plekken langs de lijn heb ik gefotografeerd en natuurlijk ook zelf weer een ritje gemaakt. Toch nog een geslaagde dag geweest.
During the summer holidays of 2023, my wife and I had to rush to Aberdeen, Scotland, due to family circumstances. During one of the last days there, the Caledonian Railway turned out to be having a special event; the Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Several diesel locomotive-hauled trains ran between Brechin and Bridge of Dun. I took photographs at various places along the line and of course also went for a ride myself. Still a successful day.
Während der Sommerferien 2023 mussten meine Frau und ich aus familiären Gründen eilig nach Aberdeen, Schottland, reisen. An einem der letzten Tage dort hatte die Caledonian Railway ein besonderes Ereignis; die Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Zwischen Brechin und Bridge of Dun verkehrten mehrere von Diesellokomotiven gezogene Züge. Ich habe an verschiedenen Stellen entlang der Strecke Fotos gemacht und bin natürlich auch selbst mitgefahren. Dennoch ein erfolgreicher Tag.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on the main line as it enters the foot hill grades on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado, Summer 1980. For the next hour plus the train will be climbing grades to reach the Moffat Tunnel and until the maximum elevation is reached at the apex.
Turning C 209 in Banagher, Co. Offaly is the title of this O'Dea image from 1962. Living near a railway yard as a child, I often watched the turning of the old steam engines on the turntable and enjoyed the sight of the mighty engine being handled like a baby. In this case it is a diesel engine which is a bit unusual in my experience, as they had cabs at either end? I look forward to being corrected.
Thank you all for the contributions to the streets of Athenry on Friday. It was fascinating to watch!

New Haven Railroad DERS-2b class ALCO RS-2 locomotive 0505 with a passenger train is passing through Plantsville, Connecticut, 10-1-1950. The train operating through Plantsville is sort of a surprise to me becuase I though this line was only a freight service line, and I know it was in 1952, so the location may be in error. Then again this may be some sort of railfan excursion train, except that there are no whilte flags to indicate an extra being operated. There appears to be a person standing on the right side of the train that is watching it pass by.

STAND BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE.
Stand Behind The Yellow Line (except when using a long focal lens).
As a diesel hauling empty coal wagons was heading toward the Hunter Valley coal fields it did not slow down as passed through the unmanned station at Lochinvar.
As a result I was able to capture the movement of the fast moving train as it passed.

Denver Rio Grande & Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is rounding a main line curve while passing through a rock cut as it continues its trip in Colorado, Summer 1980. There are numerous rock cuts seen along the right-of-way.
Penn Central Ex NYC GE U25B # 2521 engine & GE U-boat locomotive leading an eastbound manifest freight train, along with an oncoming Ex New Haven GE EP-5 motor 374 leading a passenger train, all heading in the same direction past a wooden tower in Connecticut, 1970. The freight train is operating on an express track while the passenger train is operating on a platform track. Notice that the Ex NYC U25B locomotive has a single piece front windshield. Bob Hughes was able to take this difficult back lighted action photo on slide film for our enjoyment in the late afternoon sun.
Penn Central diesel electric locomotives EMD SW1200 # 9195, ALCO RS3 # 5482 & EMD GP9B # 3808 are seen in the former New Haven Railroad Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 1972. In the back ground other locomotives such as EMD GP9's and GE U25B's are seen. The catenary has been long gone since the New Haven Railroad days of the late 1950's and early 1960's, and the yard is just a shadow of itself by this time due to the removal of numerous tracks. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this view I believe from one of the various overhead walkways that were situated in the yard area. Notice that you can clearly see the engineer in the cab of the EMD SW1200 switcher in the bright sunlight. Deep in the background you can see one of the old roundhouses.
Elk jaar organiseert de Stoomtrein Goes Borsele (SGB) het evenement Sporen naar het Verleden. Dan komen er diverse stoom- en diesellocomotieven of treinen in actie.

Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad GE U25B locomotive trio lead a manifest freight train past the station passenger platform tracks at Danbury, Connecticut, early 1970's, Bob Hughes Photo. You may notice that the catenary wire is down on this once electrified line, however, the catenary support structures are still in place.
Penn Central GE U33B locomotive # 2910 and an ex NYC U25B locomotive lead a westbound manifest freight train on an express track toward tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, Summer 1971. One of the colorful Boston & Maine boxcars is coupled to the second locomotive. Bob Hughes took this image from his window location in tower SS38. Once PC came on the scene, no telling what locomotives might show up on the former New Haven Railroad right-of-way.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is seen while climbing a Rocky Mountain grade as it heads west in Colorado, Summer 1980. The train must continue to gain altitude as it crosses the Rocky Mountains. The block signal to the left just turned from green to red as the train entered the block.
Elk jaar wordt met Hemelvaart de Nationale Stoomtreindag georganiseerd. Sinds twee jaar gaan we juist dan naar de VSM. Dit omdat er dan de hele dag gependeld wordt met een goederentrein met diesellocomotief. Vorig jaar was dit de 2530, dit jaar 'bakkie' 532. Samen met mijn oudste zoon ook dit jaar eerst op pad naar Loenen, waar we bijna een privé showtje goederenwagens rangeren hadden. En de rest van de dag hebben we langs de lijn of in Beekbergen, Loenen en Eerbeek doorgebracht, waarbij de nadruk lag op de 532 met de goederentrein.
Every year, National Steam Train Day is held on Ascension Day. For the past two years, we've been going to the VSM on that day. This is because there's a freight train with a diesel locomotive running all day. Last year it was the 2530, this year it was the 532. My eldest son and I headed to Loenen again this year, where we practically had a private show shunting freight wagons. We spent the rest of the day along the line or in Beekbergen, Loenen, and Eerbeek, focusing on the 532 and its freight train.
Der Nationale Dampfloktag findet jedes Jahr am Himmelfahrtstag statt. Die letzten zwei Jahre haben wir an diesem Tag die VSM besucht. Dort fährt nämlich den ganzen Tag ein Güterzug mit einer Diesellokomotive. Letztes Jahr war es die 2530, dieses Jahr die 532. Mein ältester Sohn und ich fuhren auch dieses Jahr wieder nach Loenen, wo wir beim Rangieren der Güterwagen quasi eine Privatvorführung hatten. Den Rest des Tages verbrachten wir entlang der Strecke oder in Beekbergen, Loenen und Eerbeek und konzentrierten uns dabei auf die 532 und ihren Güterzug.

CSX southbound manifest freight train that is led by five diesel locomotives just crossed a diamond over the Norfolk Southern north-south main lines in Cordele, Georgia, 1990. Today a train such as this would perhaps be led by only two newer locomotives. This location was very active at this time with numerous trains being operated on both CSX & NS main lines, along with a short line operator being present.
On the weekend when some lucky person in Clare won €30 million in the Euromillions lottery it would be churlish not to visit and Mr. O'Dea provides the ideal opportunity to do so. Miltown Malbay railway station as it was in 1956 is the subject of the image with a diesel engine at the fore stands at the platform. There's a choice of bicycles available for those who might need to catch up if the train has left the station - or is that taking "Are you right there Michael" too far.
