Another shot that isn't the greatest given the challenging light but something I've long wanted. This is one of the two places in Rhode Island (the other being East Greenwich) where Amtrak's ex New Haven Shoreline main actually has a view of the shore. I've shot many MBTA and Amtrak trains here at this scenic location but the only freight to cross is P&W's WODA turn from Worcester to Davisville and back that normally runs under the cover of darkness. But as I already shared earlier in this post:
P&W local PR-3 made a very rare run down the corridor to Groton so after shooting them in Stonington I stopped here on the way home. Here are the two B39-8s with only a handful of cars for the Port of Providence (most of their train was dropped for the Seaview in Davisville) heading back east crossing the bridge over Apponaug Cove at MP 174.5.

Union Pacific is the largest Class I freight railroad in the U.S., operating over 32,200 miles across 23 states and connecting to Mexico. It moves various goods, including automobiles, chemicals, and agricultural products, using a fleet of over 8,300 locomotives.
This image was captured during a visit to Multnomah Falls. The water you see here has just come over the falls and is making its way to the Columbia River. The train is most likely on its way to Portland.
After falling a little short on my last attempt to build a micro freight terminal, I decided to give it another try. This time, I used a smaller scale (1:305 instead of 1:200) and narrowed the scope a little so that I could include all of the details that were missing from the first one.
This diorama is a section of a small, manned freight terminal, designed to handle both containerized and RO-RO cargo. A Panamax class container ship is docked at the quay and is ready to be unloaded. In the staging areas of the terminal are the cargo from a recently unloaded RO-RO ship, including a fleet of new cars and some heavy equipment (including a few ultra-class, 400-ton mining trucks). Yard trucks and reach stackers are busy moving containers around the yard, and there are two fully loaded freight trains on the rail spurs ready to pull out.
4M94, with 66523 at the head, awaits the road at Water Orton with 60015 on 6E08 to Immingham having been given priority over the Intermodal.

ST44-651 with short freight train to Raciąż, loaded with white beets for the Pfeifer & Langen Polska sugar factory at Glinojeck. The train will reach Koziebrody passenger stop and after several minutes terminates at Raciąż station, where the load is handed over to the industry shunter crew. November 23, 2006.
Just a year or two later root trains stopped running and the deliveries are made using road trucks.

ST44-651 z wahadłem buraków do Cukrowni Glinojeck, przemierza szlak między stacjami Sierpc i Raciąż, ściślej rzecz biorąc między przystankami osobowymi Zawidz Kościelny i Koziebrody. 23 listopada 2006 roku.
Jak jeszcze cukrownia Glinojeck brała buraki cukrowe koleją, start kampanii buraczanej oznaczał również sezon na kursowanie do paru wahadeł na dobę buraków z północy kraju do stacji Raciąż, skąd cukrowniane "tamary" zabierały warzywa do zakładu.
Niestety żyjemy w takim kraju, gdzie kolej jest uznawana za wybitnie passé. I nie daje rady z konkurencją ciężarówek. Nawet nie zauważyłem, kiedy te pociągi przestały kursować, chyba to musiało być jeszcze w ubiegłej dekadzie.

Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train EDMO hustles Charlemont is it heads west on the B&E operated Pan Am Southern Freight Mainline, the one time Boston and Maine Fitchburg Division behind a Juniata rebuilt SD60E and a pair of Gevos. They are crossing MA 8A and paralleling West Hawley Road in the quaint little town best known for rafting in the Deerfield River and skiing on the flank of Mount Institute at Berkshire East whose barren slopes are visible in the upper right.
At left is the former Boston & Maine freight house standing between the tracks and the river at MP 407.4 as measured from Mattawamkeag, ME which was once the eastern most point on the Freight Main after then Guilford Transportation renumbered the mileposts after combining the Maine Central, Boston and Maine, and Delaware and Hudson Railroad's into a contiguous route from that obscure eastern point to the equally obscure western end of the line in Sunbury, PA.

A local freight running on my mainline; with lots of nice Penn Central going on. As this is a pan shot of motion, I like to think of this as "Pan Central."

56124 left its birthplace of Crewe Works in August 1983 and was named 'Blue Circle Cement' a couple of months later after which it settled into normal service and in 1994 passed into the ownership of Transrail Freight and then EWS a couple of years later. After withdrawal at a youthful twenty years of age it was stored for a while before being overhauled at Brush Traction and renumbered 56302 for use with Fastline Freight from 2006 to 2010 when it moved to Colas Railfreight with whom it remains today having now spent almost as much time in its second life as it did in its first.

There is quite a history connected to the building to the left of the train. This used to be a train station.

ET42-001, a heritage unit in one of its last runs, as the TME 124011 "Po Kruszywie" freight train from Warszawa Wawer to Sitkówka Nowiny, passes the Warszawa Miedzeszyn passenger stop, which has a characteristic modernistic platform shelter from the period of the electrification of the Warsaw area, couple of years before World War II.
May 22, 2022. And already on July 30 the locomotive finally was withdrawn and is to become an exhibit of technology in Zduńska Wola (Karsznice), probably a "cold" one.
In April the same year, the metal letters and numbers from the section B of the locomotive were simply stolen, so the crew of one of the PKP Cargo's depots carefully repainted the markings with white paint, imitating the original typeface of letters and numbers.
It is worth mentioning that the ET42 series is currently being withdrawn from the service. Units completing the mileage to the next overhaul are put away. Currently, out of the initial 50 units bought in late 70ies, circa 1/3 was scrapped or withdrawn. Withdrawn locomotives probably will not go back on the trails any more.

ET42-001 w jednym z ostatnich swoich kursów, jako pociąg towarowy TME 124011 "Po Kruszywie" relacji Warszawa Wawer - Sitkówka Nowiny, mija przystanek osobowy Warszawa Miedzeszyn, z charakterystyczną wiatą peronową z okresu elektryfikacji Warszawskiego Węzła Kolejowego przed II Wojną Światową. 22 maja 2022 roku. 30 lipca tego samego roku ostatecznie lokomotywa przestała jeździć i ma stać się zimnym pomnikiem techniki w Zduńskiej Woli (Karsznicach).
W kwietniu z lokomotywy ukradziono oznaczenia z członu B, więc pracownicy przewoźnika odmalowali pieczołowicie oznaczenia białą farbą, imitując oryginalny krój liter i cyfr.
Wspomnieć warto, iż seria ET42 jest aktualnie wycofywana z eksploatacji. Egzemplarze kończące przebiegi międzynaprawcze są odstawiane jako oczekujące naprawy głównej lub skreślenia. Aktualnie z 50 kupionych w latach 70. egzemplarzy, około 1/3 została albo zezłomowana albo wycofana. Te wycofane prawdopodobnie już na szlaki nie wyjadą.

CSX Y122 passes the Portland Amtrak station on what remains of the legendary Mountain Division. Stored C&D hoppers and LPG tanks for Dead River in Westbrook are the only freight traffic on this line since the SAPPI mill stopped rail service several years ago.
Australian built ALCos 4474/4480/44223 near Bulliac, New South Wales, with northbound Sydney to Brisbane interstate freight no.6303 on Tuesday 27 July 1993.
This car must have stood still for a long time for this to happen. I can't imagine how long it took to commit this vandalism!
Early morning freight train passing full speed through the station in Mjölby, Sweden. Seen December 6, 2007.
WOW! This won the Transportation Challenge at:
There aren't anymore thru freights on the east end of the old Boston and Albany these east of Worcester but CSXT still plies the line with a handful of locals. B722 at least looks like a road train and on this morning it featured four big six motor GEs and a pair of dead in tow F40PH-2Cs headed to Wabtec in Erie for overhaul.
They are seen here at MP 24 on the modern day state owned Keolis/MBTA Worcester Mainline. They are framed up by the eaves of the classic 1887 built Richardsonian Station that no longer serves passengers as the modern MBTA Ashland depot is a half mile to the west.

Battling through the intense commuter traffic, a New York and Atlantic Railway freight gets a path, with 301 & 261 in charge.
This photo was taken at the freight station in Mannheim germany, with an Olympus OMD EM 10. A lens I used an Olympus M.9-18.

Freight train,
Rolling through the city,
Freight train
Through the farms and fields.
Freight train,
You’re looking so pretty.
Over trestles and through tunnels
In the dark and light
Then you roll right out of sight!

"Cambria Freight Station, also known as Christiansburg Depot, is a historic freight station located at Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia, US. It was built in 1868–1869, and is a wood-framed, one-story, U-shaped structure with a shallow hipped roof and deeply overhanging eaves in the Italianate style. A portion of the center section rises to form a tower-like second-story room, covered with an even shallower hipped roof. A long, one-story freight section extending eastward from the rear. The building also served as a passenger station, until Christiansburg station was built nearby in 1906. The building houses a local history museum known as the Cambria Depot Museum.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is located in the Cambria Historic District." (Wikipedia)
