Southern Railways U Class No 31806 Rattles through the cutting with an early morning freight train during a Russ Hillier photo charter on the Churnet Valley railway.
I've got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh
When the whistle blows, I've gotta go
Lordy, lordy, I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.

During the blue hour, quietly hoped that he would succeed in making this image. The light was just in balance between day and night and then this train came running towards Brennero.
Afterwards I boarded the local train to Innsbruck.
It had been beautiful this day.
One of the three Union Pacific bridges across the Mississippi River in the Twin Cities, Bridge 15 has a unique swing bridge design with a large concrete counterweight instead of the more typical design of the bridge balancing itself. UP's MSSDM is seen crossing the former Milwaukee Road bridge behind a reasonably clean AC45CTE, heading west on the Mankato Sub.
It's a beautiful late fall day as Norfolk Southern manifest freight 10K soars across the Conemaugh River in Tunnelton, Pennsylvania behind a pair of GE's with a fairly clean AC44C6M on the point. At this location, the railroad crosses over the stone bridge of the original 1909 alignment of the Conemaugh Line, which was relocated in 1946 due to the building of the Conemaugh Dam that is seen in the background.

I'm overdue for another morning out here, it's always worthwhile. Until then, however, here's one that's been laying around for a while from a trip last year.
Connecticut Southern Railroad's Hartford to Springfield turn job CSO-4 is led by a pair of B39-8Es in the form of orange repainted CSOR 3901 and CSOR 8530 still in its as delivered LMX gray paint and number dating from it Nov. 1987 build date by GE.
They are on Amtrak's Springfield Line main near MP 50 crossing the Connecticut River on the Warehouse Point Bridge crossing from the town of Windsor Locks into Enfield. The 1470 ft long double track bridge (though only one track is in service) dates from 1903 when the circa 1866 iron bridge was rebuilt by the New Haven Railroad, but even that structure was the second one on the site replacing a wooden Howe truss that first crossed here in 1843 by NH predecessor Hartford and Springfield Railroad.

With more letters in its name than miles in its route, the Lake Erie Franklin and Clarion Railroad joined the per-diem boxcar craze of the late 1970’s. Here one of those cars passes through Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Today I did something that I haven't done in a long time: take a day off to make photos of passenger trains. Passenger. Trains. Really.
The intercity trains between Schaarbeek and Kortrijk are still hauled by vintage 21 and 27 series locomotives. These machines are about my age and as such I've known them all my active railfanning life. They are being gradually withdrawn though, and this realizing was one of the factors deciding to spend a day chasing them. Another important factor being that I had found a lot of nice spot between Oudenaarde and Zottegem during my bicyle rides, but I didn't make photos there yet.
With the locomotives oriented on the Kortrijk-side of the trains, they would only show a sunny face in the afternoon. The morning I spent picturing 2 freight trains on locations I wanted to try out for a while.

A usual sight in Ostrava: a local shunting train switching cars between the many facilities of the iron works crossing a busy road.
Nog is het mogelijk dit soort foto's te maken op station Pirschheide in Potsdam. Echter, vanaf 2021 gaat alles op de schop en wordt het station volledig vernieuwd. Op 26 juni 2020 was ik weer eens op mijn lievelingsstation en zag hoe loc 187 113 met een gemengde trein naar Seddin door het station reed.
Ab 2021 soll alles hier anders aussehen und steht die Reisenden in Pirschheide wieder ein gepflegter Bahnhof zur Verfügung. Bis dahin kann man die Zeit allerdings nutzen um derartige Bilder zu machen. Im Bild zu sehen ist die 187 113 welche gerade mit einem gemischten Güterzug gen Seddin unterwegs ist...
Deutsche Bahn engine 187 113 was spotted on June 26th 2020 with a short freight train to Seddin in Pirschheide in Potsdam. The time to make pictures such as these is slowly coming to an end, next year this place will be unrecognizable as the station will be getting a makeover as passenger traffic on the upper level will be resumed in 2021...
