I decaled and weathered this Penn Central SD45 and lent it to my friend Kyle (who took this photo) to enjoy for a while. He took this loco, along with his blue SD45, and some of his freight cars to another friend's railroad, that of Dave Weber.
This hobby is a lot more fun with good friends who can team up like this to share trains, railroad, tips, ideas, photos, etc.
It's early November and the morning air is downright chilly after an overnight snowfall, but it's business as usual at the Horicon terminal, as the Janesville bound freight T4H prepares to depart Horicon.

When the Lehigh Valley bought C628’s from Alco in 1965, they were delivered in a striking white, black and red paint scheme and were dubbed “snowbirds” by the local fans. Variants of the snowbird scheme were applied to several classes of freight cars, including this fifty foot covered hopper seen here at Enola, Pennsylvania two years after the LV ceased to exist.
Nauwelijks terug thuis van onze trip naar Oostenrijk stond ik drie dagen later, op woensdag 9 maart, alweer langs de lijn.
Ik had namelijk de info gekregen (waarvoor dank) dat TUC-Rail met een locomotief reeks 55 TVM een kort ballasttreintje ging slepen tussen Ans en Quenast (met aankomst rond 10u).
Ik vertrok dus rond 9u30 richting Quenast maar toen ik daar om 9u45 aankwam, vertelde een andere spotter me dat de trein met een kleine drie kwartier vertraging reed. Ik maakte dan ook snel de berekening en gokte dat ik de trein ook nog te pakken kon krijgen op lijn 26 in Beersel - onder het motto: het hoeft niet altijd lijntje 115 te zijn ;-) Op lijn 26 lag in Beersel namelijk een plekje waar ik nog nooit een goederentrein had kunnen fotograferen en dat wou ik dus eindelijk eens afstrepen!
En op 9 maart lukte dat dus wel toen deze 5509 TVM van TUC-Rail met zes wagonnetjes om 10u21 aan mijn lens voorbijreed. Geslaagde gok dus ;-)

Here you can see locomotive 5509 TVM in front of a short freight train from Ans to tha quarry in Quenast. Untill December 31, 2021, this locomotive (amongst others) was in service for NMBS/SNCB to repatriate trains in distress on the Belgian high speed line 1 from Halle to the border of France. Therefor, the locomotive received in 1996 the TVM security system. TVM means 'Transmission Voie-Machine' and is a French high-speed train control system.

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.
In the winter spirit, Lewts and I painted this winter tribute freight the other day. Had been wanting to do this for a while. In retrospect, I might have changed a few things...
The light was horrible and the loco LHF but freight was in short supply on this trip so you take what you can get. 2062 019 roars uphill with a hopper train.
A westbound Burlington Northern freight passes through the North Dakota Badlands at Sully Springs on August 9, 1991. The train is powered by EMD SD40-2 No. 6926, mated with one of BN’s unique GE B30-7A “B unit” No. 4043. BN originally had a fleet of 120 of these 3,000 h.p. cabless locomotives built between June 1982 and October 1983 and numbered 4000-4119.

In October of 1990, recently-restored Pere Marquette Berkshire #1225 pulled some freight trains on CSX's Plymouth Subdivision between Plymouth and Grand Rapids. These trips were test runs to see how the engine performed as a prelude to the locomotive's big trip to Huntington, WV the following year for the NRHS convention. They marked the first time since 1951 that a PM steam locomotive had operated on PM rails, and by all accounts were a success. The west-bound trip is seen here at the east end of Trowbridge in East Lansing, where #1225 was displayed for nearly 25 years at Michigan State University.

The freight traffic from Burgas has been slowly, but steadily increasing over the past year. Last week, an additional tanker train left for Sofia in between the two regular evening freights. The shiny 46 036 was chosen to drive it.
Alors que le soleil se lève progressivement au dessus de la taïga finlandaise, un train de bois est observé. Il s'agit du train T 4154 Kontiomäki - Pieksämäki tavara. Il est tracté par la Sr3 3308 des chemins de fer finlandais VR. Le convoi est vu à proximité de Taipale alors qu'il circule avec une heure d'avance.
