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.

BNSF H-BARSDG1-26A rolls along Torrey Pines State Beach and the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Del Mar, California. Daylight freight isn't on the regular schedule on this absurdly busy single-track commuter railroad. However, delays and recrews periodically will force the dispatchers to squeeze the "BarDiego" through in between all of the Amtrak, Metrolink, and Coaster traffic. Even during summer high sun, seeing this freight snake its way along the Coast is a wonderful sight.
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.
Daily freight services hauled by classical East German diesel engines can be observed in Brandenburg. Here DB Cargo 232 005 in its "Polish" EWS livery crosses the Havel river south of Brandenburg-Altstadt station.
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...
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.
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.
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.
