Seen during a visit to Railtown 1897 in Jamestown California on 11-20-2015. I believe this is the shop switcher.
In spite of the devastatingly rapid urban sprawl motivated by Utah Valley's 21st century tech boom, there is about a half mile of track between Provo and Springville where if you face the right direction and squint hard enough it still looks rural, a microcosmic remnant of the open land filled in with ugly mcmansions and precast warehouses in the last decade. The Roper to Helper manifest inches down the mainline keeping a wary eye out for switching moves made on the Ironton industrial lead. 13 September 2023.

R15096. On a miserable wet Autumn day in 2005, Br.218 / 218 Class B-B diesel-hydraulic 218 408 was seen at Wissembourg which is in eastern France just over the border from Die Pfalz in the west of Germany. It was operating a cross-border service on the branch line that connects Wissembourg with Landau in Germany.

Norfolk Southern operated N&W A class 2-6+6-4 steam locomotive # 1218, led Railfan Excursion Train is being hauled by three EMD diesel locomotives on this branch line portion of the trip to Crossville, Tennessee, October 1987. The steam locomotive was cut off at the junction (Harriman) where this branch line connected with the main line. The train is crossing over one of the numerous trestles and bridges found on this mountain line. There was much Fall beauty to be seen on this trip.

The afternoon Service Towards Lucknow Aishbagh Arrives With IZN YDM4 6528 from Tikunia ( Train Name - Tikunia - Aishbagh Passenger )
I was to board the same train towards Lucknow and somehow captured it since I knew it had a stop of 5 minutes at the station so , Hence I got enough time for the click.
YDM4 Class is one of the threatened species of Indian Railways since only a few Meter-Gauge Railway Lines remain in India , A country which Once used to have one of the world's largest Meter Gauge Networks under British Empire and the meter gauge network that used to exist from North to South and East To West Of India is now depleted and left to a few places which will soon close down and the process of Gauge Conversion to Broad Gauge will take over.
Some Info On The YDM4 Locomotive :-
Co-Co diesel electrics originally from Alco (1961-1964), later manufactured by DLW (1968-1993). The initial batch of 55 from Alco were used for evaluation and comparison with a similar batch of General Motors locos. The Alcos were chosen as the preferred MG main-line diesel locos. Alco model is DL535A. Originally manufactured with only vacuum brakes and dynamic braking, no air brakes. Rated at 1350/1200hp. Max. speed 100km/h. YDM-4A are identical to YDM-4, except that they were supplied by MLW (1964) -- the Canadian batch consisting of about 99 locos. Some of the MLW locos do not have the 'A' suffix in the class designation.
Ahmedabad was the main centre for these locos. A few were hauling local trains in the Secunderabad-Bodhan section in 1997, and are reported [8/00] to be working around Mysore, Villupuram, etc. Some from the Guntakal shed are still [7/02] hauling trains on the Pakala-Guntakal-Bellary route. Some are thought to be at Gandhidham after gauge conversion left Gandhidham - Palanpur an isolated MG line.
DLW has exported some (15 each) of these to Tanzania and Vietnam (1976-1985), and to Bangladesh (2000?). The ones for Bangladesh were classed YDM-4BR and had dual cabs, a change achieved without modifying the length of the loco. This variant turned out later to have major cooling problems.
Malaysian railways (KTM) acquired 39 used YDM-4's from IR in 1996. It is not clear if they were leased or sold. Of these, 14 were returned to India by 1999. In Malaysia they retained their IR road numbers (between 6352 and 6725).
Builders: Alco, MLW, DLW
Engine: Alco 251B-6 (Alco/MLW), Alco 251D-6 (DLW); 6 cyl., 4-stroke, inline
Transmission: Electric (DC-DC, in contrast to most other locos that were AC-DC).
Axle load: 12t. Bogies: Co-Co trimount.
Fuel capacity: 3000l

A rather fine item of industrial photography on the cover of this c1960 English language leaflet issued to show the full range of industrial diesel engines built by the company. The factory dated back to 1840 being the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg AG prior to merger with the Maschinenbau-Aktiengesellscaft Nürnberg in 1898 that formed the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG, better known as M.A.N. At the time of printing the Augsburg works manufactured both diesel engines as well as printing presses; the latter had been built here since 1845 with the first rotary newspaper presses manufactured in 1873. The real claim to fame was the construction of, between 1893-1895, the world's first experimental diesel engine under the guidance of the inventor Rudolf Diesel.
The leaflet notes that the company employs 7000 workers in the Diesel Engine Division in Augsburg as well as others in the subsidiary factories in Nürnberg and Hamburg.

Southern Railway steam locomotive # 4501 led Railfan Excursion Train with a vestibule view of an assisting EMD GP30 locomotive # 2562 from Salisbury to Asheville, North Carolina, August 1985. Ahead of the GP30 is two assisting FP7A locomotives, all required to provide the power necessary to handle this 17 car, mostly heavyweight passenger train, on the soon upcoming mountain grades.
