Norfolk Southern (former N&W engine) EMD SD40-2 diesel electric locomotive # 1645, along with other diesel locomotives, is seen while leading a manifest freight train on a curved bridge at a location about half way between Harriman and Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1987. While I was out and about following the N&W steam locomotive 1218 and it Railfan Excursion Train, plus taking photos, I also captured images of freight trains that were operating on the main line. Notice how the N&W diesel locomotive # 1645 operates with its long hood forward, a practice that both the Southern and Norfolk & Western Railways utilized with their earlier locomotives. Notice too, how the bell is mounted directly above the headlight at the front of the hood.
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.
En el año 2007 los ferroviarios de FEVE me recomendaron visitar este lugar... pero hice un intento de encontrarlo y me perdí por los caminos junto a la estación de Vado-Cervera. Durante años no me acordé, pero en 2011 revisando la línea con el GoogleMaps encontré el camino para llegar hasta aquí. Es un lugar que he visitado poco porque para llegar hasta la altura necesaria para hacer la foto hay que caminar un buen rato y eso te dificulta hacer un seguimiento posterior al tren.
A la izquierda podéis ver el Parque Natural de Fuentes Carriondas con el pico del Curavacas (2524m) y en el centro la Peña Carazo (2013m). A la derecha asoma el extremo oeste de la Sierra de Peñalabra, con la propia Peña Labra (2018m) (que es esa montaña que tiene forma de altiplano) y el Pico Tresmares (2175m). El Pico Tresmares tiene este nombre porque el agua que fluye por sus laderas va a parar a tres mares distintos. Llegan al Cantábrico a través del rio Nansa, al Atlántico a través del Pisuerga que es afluente del Duero y al Mediterráneo a través del rio Hijar que es un afluente del Ebro.
En total la panorámica tiene 34Km de desarrollo de punta a punta, captada mediante tres fotos disparadas con un trípode, motivo por el cual el tren no está en el centro de la toma. La foto es de Julio de 2011.

Amtrak derailment of EMD SDP40F locomotives along with two cars in Safety Harbor, Florida, 2-15-1976, Fred Clark, Jr.. If the news reports were correct, a switch was thrown by teenage vandals to cause this derailment of the southbound Amtrak Champion. The big hook was required to place the equipment back on the track without very much damage occurring to the equipment, fortunately. Prior to the SCL, this line was the SAL route between Tampa and Pinellas County, which connected Saint Petersburg directly to Tampa via the Oldsmar trestle. When I was at this scene, the only cars that were derailed was the dormitory baggage car and the baggage car, along with the two SDP40F locomotives.

Blue Ridge Southern Railroad EMD SD40-2 locomotive # 4205 & EMD SD39-2 locomotive # 3932 is seen in the yard locomotive service & maintenance area at Canton, North Carolina, 9-16-2022. SD40-2 # 4205 is the only locomotive in the eleven engine fleet that has the railroad's herald centered on its lower hood nose. Watco of Pittsburg Kansas owns this short line railroad. The SD39-2 has the reporting marks "WAMX" which is for the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad, another Watco property. In order to take this photo I had to hold my camera above my head to reach over a chain link fence to capture the scene, but that darn weed bush was in the scene unfortunately.
Central Vermont Railway MLW-ALCO RS11 diesel electric Locomotive # 3611 is seen in a yard area in Vermont, August 1979. As we were driving toward Bellows Falls and Steamtown we drove over a highway overpass which crossed over some tracks below and I noticed this beauty spotted there on its own. Since I have always been a fan of ALCO diesel locomotives, I just had to stop to capture this image on film. Do believe that this paint scheme presents itself well on this locomotive. A real surprise was situated on the right, because there still was an active turntable in use at this facility.

Blue Ridge Southern Railroad yard engine service & maintainence area with EMD SD40-2 locomotive # 4205 & GP39-2 locomotive # 3932 seen at Canton, North Carolina, 9-16-2022. Many of the freight cars seen in this view will serve the Evergreen Paper Packaging Facility that is seen in the background. Notice the track absorbtive matt situated between the rails. This was another photo that was taken with the camera raised above my head to get above the fence. Locomotive # 4205 is the only engine with the railroad's herald located on its nose, which in my opinion looks the best overall.
Seaboard Coast Line local freight train, led by EMD GP35 locomotive 1413, is seen operating on the ex SAL line as it passes over the ex ACL diamond and through the station at Ocala, Florida, 5-29-1978.

Dit jaar ben ik weer met mijn oudste zoon en mijn vader naar Terug naar Toen van de VSM geweest. En natuurlijk stonden er natuurlijk weer veel locs onder stoom. Dit jaar waren de 65 018 en 01 1075 van de SSN weer te gast. Voor de 65 018 één van haar laatste publieke optredens bij de SSN, voordat ze uit dienst gehaald zou worden. De gebruikelijke stoomtreinen tussen Beekbergen en Apeldoorn reden dit jaar alleen in de ochtend. Dus daar lag in de ochtend de focus op. In de middag werd vooral rondom Loenen doorgebracht. Het was weer een schitterend spektakel met prachtig weer.
Dieses Jahr bin ich mit meineltester Sohn un mein Vater nach Zurück nach Damals der VSM gefahren. Und natürlich waren wieder viele Loks unter Dampf. Dieses Jahr waren die 65 018 und die 01 1075 der SSN wieder zu Gast. Für die 65 018 eine Ihrer letzten Fahrten für die SSN. Die üblichen Dampf Güterzüge zwischen Beekbergen und Apeldoorn liefen dieses Jahr nur am Morgen. Das war der Fokus am Morgen. Am Nachmittag wurde hauptsächlich um Loenen herum verbracht. Es war wieder ein großartiges Spektakel mit schönem Wetter.
This year my eldest son, my father and I went the event "Terug naar Toen (Back to then) by the VSM. And of course, many locs were under steam again. The SSN 65 018 and 01 1075 were visiting locomotives again. For the 65 018 one of her last appearances for the SSN before her to be taken out of service. The usual steam goods trains between Beekbergen and Apeldoorn were only running in the morning this year. So that was the focus for the morning. In the afternoon we mainly spend our time around Loenen. Again it was a magnificent spectacle with beautiful weather.
Five Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad GE U25B diesel electric locomotives, with # 2678 up front, are seen on the ready tracks in the Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 1971. The locomotives have been re-numbered into the 2600 class PC numbering system on their locomotive roster. During the mid to late 1950's and into the 1960's the catenary was removed from the yard, along with numerous tracks, buildings and facilities. The yard started to become a shadow of itself as time went by and the trash was building up in just about all areas of the yard. You can see steam escaping from numerous pipe connections throughout the yard area. Bob Hughes had access to many areas of the yard to take his photo images.
New Haven Railroad DEY-1 ALCO switcher # 0900, is seen in motor storage at New Haven Union Station, New Haven, Connecticut, ca early-mid 19430's. This locomotive was a one of a kind on the New Haven Railroad in that it was originally ALCO demonstrator 50000, that was built in 1931 with 600 hp and a high hood. Seen in the background is an EP-2 motor.
This photo came from my collection of New Haven Railroad negatives, however; the photographers name is unknown.

New Haven Railroad DERS-2c class ALCO RS-3 locomotives # 520 & # 545 are seen on a siding near the waterfront at Fall River, Massachusetts, 8-17-1957. You can see the engineer in the cab of RS-3 # 520. These locomotives were purchased during 1950-1952 and they had steam generators for passenger service. The RS-3 actually was a real workhorse for the New Haven Railroad in my opinion, and they were seen just about anywhere of the railroad.
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.

Elk jaar organiseert de MBS een Najaarsstyoomdag. Dit jaar kwam ook de 162 in actie met een net opgeknapte boxcar. Ook werden er weer enkele slagen gereden met de Wismar railbus. Het was helaas erg regenachtig, wat echter wel weer bijdroeg aan de sfeer.
Every year the MBS organizes an Autumn Stoom Day. This year, the 162 came into action with a recently refurbished boxcar also. There were also some rides with the Wismar railbus. Unfortunately it was raining a lot, although it did add to the atmosphere.
Jedes Jahr organisiert die MBS einen Autumn Stoom Day. In diesem Jahr kam der 162 auch mit einem kürzlich renovierten Güterwagen zum Einsatz. Es gab auch einige fahrten mit dem Wismar-Schienenbus. Leider war es sehr regnerisch, was aber zur Atmosphäre beitrug.
Dit jaar bestonden de spoorwegen in Nederland 150 jaar. In Utrecht was een grote treinenshow georganiseerd, waar divers (historisch) materieel uit binnen- en buitenland tentoon waren gesteld. Ook was er een tentoonstelling in de jaarbeurshallen en reed de Arend diverse rondjes over het terrein. In dit album diverse opnames van deze manifestatie in Utrecht.
This year the railways in the Netherlands existed for 150 years. A large train show was organized in Utrecht, where various (historical) trains from the Netherlands and abroad were exhibited. There was also an exhibition in the Jaarbeurs halls and the Arend drove several rides on the grounds. In this album you will find the scans from these colour slides of this Event in Utrecht.
In diesem Jahr existierten die Eisenbahnen in den Niederlanden 150 Jahre lang. In Utrecht wurde eine große Eisenbahnausstellung organisiert, auf der verschiedene (historische) Züge aus dem In- und Ausland ausgestellt wurden. Außerdem gab es eine Ausstellung in den Jaarbeurs-Hallen und der Arend fuhr mehrere Runden über das Gelände. In diesem Album reihen sich die Aufnahmen von die Ausstellung in Utrecht.

Some Facts About Indian Railways WDP4D Locomotive -
Now Some Info on EMDGT46PAC : -
Variants -
There are three variants of this loco - the original WDP-4 which is a 4,000 hp (2,980 kW) loco, the WDP-4B which is a 4,500 hp (3,360 kW)126 t (124 long tons; 139 short tons) weighted loco with a single cab and the newest WDP-4D which is a 4,500 hp (3,360 kW) loco with dual cabs.
Performance -
The WDP-4 is capable of hauling 24 coach trains at 110–130 km/hour. It has also been used for speed trials where it has hauled 9 coach trains at 180 km/hour with recent trials done with Renfe Talgo coaches where it was tested at 195Kmph.
The locomotives can be used in either direction, and frequently haul trains long hood forward, as in the picture. Newer editions with 4500 hp have been produced which have been named with the sub class WDP-4B /WDP-4D which have different traction control with six traction motors and are Co-Co bogie equipped (more similar to WDG-4), unlike the original which has a Bo-1-1-Bo arrangement with four traction motors. Due to some controversies regarding visibility hindrances faced by loco pilots in driving long hood front, the basic WDP-4B model has been modified to dual cab to eliminate any such possibility. Other features of WDP-4B and WDP-4D are same. The cabs have a slightly wider profiles, to improve visibility.
Some of the WDP-4B/WDP-4D are spotted having provision for an inverter-driven head-end power unit, allowing running trains without a generating car (EOG) for hotel power.
The loco is very fuel efficient and has minimal exhaust emissions unlike ALCO based locomotives, thanks to its 2 stroke high efficiency diesel engine. It is characterized by its loud horn, which can be heard for large distances around, and aircraft-like sound of its running engine.
