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.
New Haven Railroad GE U25B # 2511 and another U25B are seen leading an eastbound manifest freight train on express track while passing the station at Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. The first group of gondolas appear to being carrying scrap materials. Bob Hughes took this photo from ground level near his tower SS38 location.
66741 passes Horbury near Wakefield with a westbound loaded coal, 6M17 Redcar bulk terminal to Fiddlers Ferry power station.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on a main line curve near the Rocky Mountain front range in an open area that has wind break hoppers along side to protect the trains from severe winds in Colorado, Summer 1980. There is a long string of hopper cars in this area that are full of ballast and dirt with vegetation growing on top of the ballast as you can see in the photo. The conductor said that many trains have derailed at this location due to the often present high speed winds. This back lighted photo was hard to present decently.
New Haven Railroad DERS-1b class ALCO RS-1 diesel electric locomotive 0663 is seen while spotted on a siding in an unknown yard area, ca late 1950's. This locomotive has plain journal bearings as compared to most others with roller bearing being installed. Several of this locomotives were retired prior to the Penn Central take over of the New Haven Railroad, but a few did makle into the PC. An interesting fact is that when these locomotives were new they had steam generators installed and were intended to power short commuter trains on branch lines. However; they were apparently under powered for this service, so they wound up being used in light duty local freight train service. These diesel locomotives were powered by the ALCO 539-T series turbo charged six cylinder in-line prime mover with 1,000 hp provided for tractive effort purposes.

Denver & Rio Grande Western eastbound Rio Grande Zephyr, led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771, has just pulled out of the station at 7:20 AM in Salt Lake City, Utah, bound Denver, Colorado, Summer 1980. The weather conditions sure were not ideal for photography this morning and then it started to rain while on the trip. With Kodachrome 64, my F1.4 brightest lens, using a lower shutter speed than I liked, along with the train movement and vibration, this was about the best I could do at the time to capture this image. This is one of those photography situations that today is mostly solved by the use of digital cameras with sensors that work well under low light conditions to produce fine images. That large brick building on the left is a Purity Biscuit Company facility in Salt Lake City.
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 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.

Je moet er even voor klimmen op een heuvel zonder duidelijke paden, maar dan héb je ook wat. Doorkomst van de trein naar Dobrinishte door het dorp Tsjerna Mesta, getrokken door een Henschel-loc uit 1965. Het is opmerkelijk dat het toenmalige socialistische bewind dergelijke dure producten uit het kapitalistische West-Duitsland kon laten komen. Even later volgt een stop - waarschijnlijk zonder in- of uitstappers - in het station van het dorp.
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.
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.

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.

Das Wetter war wunderschön; Morgens Nebel und später viel Sonne, aber leider weniger Dampfentwicklung. Ein weiterer erfolgreicher Ausflugstag.
New Haven Railroad DERS-2c class ALCO RS-3 locomotive # 560, is seen in a yard service, maintenance and repair area, ca mid 1950's. These universal main line road switchers could be found all around the system either leading freight or passenger trains, or working as a switcher in a yard.
The name of the photographer is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

Gedurende de zomervakantie reed de SGB een uitgebreidere dienstregeling, waarbij de twee omC-tjes ook in actie kwamen. Dit zijn toch wel een van de mooiste (replica) treinen die in Nederland rondrijden, dus onze focus lag vooral op deze twee treinstellen. Mijn zoon had ook nog zijn Lego model die hij had ontworpen en gebouwd meegenomen, die met het origineel vastgelegd werden.
During the summer holidays, the SGB operated an extended timetable, including the two OMC trains. These are among the most beautiful (replica) trains operating in the Netherlands, so our focus was primarily on these two trains. My son also brought along his Lego model, which he had designed and built, and which was photographed alongside the original.
Während der Sommerferien verkehrte die SGB mit einem erweiterten Fahrplan, unter anderem mit den beiden OMC-Zügen. Diese zählen zu den schönsten (Nachbauten) Zügen der Niederlande, daher lag unser Augenmerk vor allem auf diesen beiden Zügen. Mein Sohn hatte auch sein Lego-Modell dabei, das er selbst entworfen und gebaut hatte und das wir zusammen mit dem Original fotografiert haben.
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!

Dit jaar met mijn twee zonen naar het jaarlijks evenement 'Sporen naar het verleden' geweest. Naast de eigen loc 4389, waren dit jaar stoomloc 5 'Enkhuizen' van de SHM, de 23 023 van de SSN en Crew 2454 met hun 2454, Mat '64 stel 904 en mP 3029 aanwezig. Ook maakten de omC 909 en 910 enkele ritten. Dit jaar besteedden we vooral aandacht aan de omC 909 en 910. Het was weer een erg geslaagd evenement.
This year I went to the annual event 'Traces to the past' with my two sons. In addition to our own locomotive 4389, steam locomotive 5 'Enkhuizen' of the SHM, 23 023 of the SSN and Crew 2454 with their 2454, Mat '64 set 904 and mP 3029 were present this year. The OMC 909 and 910 also made a few journeys. This year we paid particular attention to the OMC 909 and 910. It was another very successful event.
Dieses Jahr war ich mit meinen beiden Söhnen bei der jährlichen Veranstaltung „Spuren in die Vergangenheit“. Neben unserer eigenen Lokomotive 4389 waren in diesem Jahr auch die Dampflokomotive 5 'Enkhuizen' der SHM, 23 023 der SSN und die Besatzung 2454 mit ihrer 2454, Mat '64 Set 904 und mP 3029 anwesend. Auch die OMC 909 und 910 machten einige Fahrten. Besonderes Augenmerk haben wir in diesem Jahr auf die OMC 909 und 910 gelegt. Es war wieder eine sehr erfolgreiche Veranstaltung.

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!
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.
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.

This would have to be one of my favourite diesel engines. This is the 42 class in Ho scale, with the NSW railway colours form the 80's yellow and Indian-red.
DRS 66423 approaches Abbotswood Junction working a special 4Z36 1215 Wentloog (Freightliners) to Daventry Drs (Tesco) with stablemate 66432 dead on the rear having failed at Wentloog the previous day.
Santa Fe early EMC-GE A & B E-Units # 4L & 4A, that were delivered in April 1938, are seen spotted on a station track lead, Chicago, ca late 1930's. These units were classified as E-1's, and were quite stylish with smooth lines, and produced 1,800 hp each with a total for the two units at 3,600 hp. Back in the B-unit you can see a fireman's, hostler's or other employee's head sticking out of one of the open windows. The locomotives are wearing the famous War Bonnet paint scheme. Check out the old sedan to the left, because it is sure parked close to the nearest track. The location is unknown to me, but perhaps one of the Santa Fe fans may know of the possible location by the background building's name and design. The National Carloaders building seems to be the place to load iced refrigerator cars, because quite a few wooden ones are spotted by the building. There appears to be an individual viewing this scene from a second story window in the National Carloaders building.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection of Railroad photos.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is passing through tunnel # 22, possibly the shortest tunnel on the route, as it heads along the Rocky Mountain right-of-way in Colorado, Summer 1980. The landscape colors appear to change all along the route and the vegetation too. That block signal is neither a dwarf nor a standard tall boy but has an intermediate height plus a special symbol indicated.

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.
Atlantic Coast Line EMD locomotives F2A # 324 & F2B # 324 are being prepared with their passenger train 38, aka: "The Jax Mail," for departure from the downtown station in Saint Petersburg, Florida, April 1956 Bill Howes Photographer, Photo courtesy of Tom Pavluvcik Collection. Normally this second station platform track was typically assigned to the Southland, but from the look of this train with all of the headend equipment it appears to be the later departing train 38 (The Jax Mail).
This photo came from the Tom Pavluvcik Collection and the original photographers name is Bill Howes. Any credit for this photo must be provided to the original photographer.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating along an upper level Rocky Mountain main line right-of-way while it is passing through rock cuts as it proceeds toward the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado, Summer 1980. It appears that some new ties have been laid out for replacement in this area.
SCL GE U36B # 1836, along with Road Mate # 3214 is seen leading an Extra mix merchandise freight train into Tampa, Florida, 1973. This train is operating on the main line between Plant City and the Tampa Uceta Railroad Yard, and it is closer to Tampa at this location. Note the white flags mounted to the cab to indicate an Extra movement. At this time SCL was utilizing numerous high powered, for the time, four axle locomotives such as the GE U36B., however; nothing quite equals powered axles and that's the reason for the Road Mate to provide the extra tractive effort that's required.
