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.

The Zillertalbahns freight services are still going strong three years after the resumption of service. The trains schedule remains basically the same with a approximately 7:30 departure from Jenbach to Fügen which works out well in the long summer days. Unlike last year I got the freight on the first attempt. The train is seen here entering the Ziller Valley at Strass.
In the comments of this photo: flic.kr/p/2mdXzNW that I posted yesterday Frank Keller reminded me that I did actually shoot another real "revenue" freight on the bridge. I suppose the reason I forgot was because well....look at this. Terrible afternoon light on a hazy mid summer day shooting toward the sun coupled with about the most unappealing consist you could ask for with a one unit wonder leading a string of empty 'bare tables' is pretty forgettable don't you think?!
SD70MAC 4006 leads a string of empty 89 ft deck flats south as train 192S an extra military train that delivered equipment north to Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks and was headed back to Anchorage. They are seen here at MP 284.2 sailing nearly 300 ft above Hurricane Gulch on the more than 900 ft long bridge built in 1921.

Duo of Czech 740-class locomotives (740.426 and 740.638) with international freight train 661010 from Meziměsti to Rogoźnica (here you can read the story about this very train, worth reading) approach Boguszów Gorce Wschód junction. Before it happens, the train will pass the area that used to be a freight station (Boguszów Gorce Towarowy, formerly Fellhammer Güterbahnhof) just after this curve. It seems more than 50 years ago the station tracks were dismantled. July 4, 2021.

Duet czeskich kocurów (740.426 i 740.638) z międzynarodowym pociągiem towarowym 661010 z granicznego Meziměsti do Rogoźnicy (nawiasem, warto przeczytać ciekawą historię tego pociągu tutaj) zbliża się do tarczy ostrzegawczej posterunku odgałęźnego Boguszów Gorce Wschód. Za chwilę, za tym łukiem, który widać na zdjęciu, pociąg minie teren byłej stacji Boguszów Gorce Towarowy. rozebranej ponad 50 lat temu. 4 lipca 2021 r.

Two eastbound freight trains with class 661 diesel locomotive at Pirot station, Eastern Serbia. A moments before this shot a westbound freight train passed through the station. The station got very busy in the past year, because of the renovation of the railway line Niš - Dimitrovgrad. The line will be also electrified in the near future.
More diesel action around Pirot is available in the video:
North Rails freight train on its way from Uusikaupunki to Kouvola. Trees are slowly showing signs of autumn.
Another early start got me to Helwith Bridge to see 66152 on the Tees Dock-Newbiggin gypsum wagons.The engine failed in Dentdale causing significant delays to the following trains.It could have been much worse but the train was rescued by a Colas Class 70 which was working south light engine

A PHL switch crew switches out carload freight traffic in one of the railroad's yards near Long Beach. While mostly a container hauler for the Ports of LA and Long Beach, the PHL does maintain a healthy about of carload traffic.

The nightly Alaska Railroad 130S freight from Fairbanks to Anchorage was running very late this particular morning affording the rare opportunity for shots in daylight on the mainline. They have just crossed the long Knik River bridge and are swinging around a bluff to head south toward their final terminal in this view from the Old Glenn Hwy overpass at ARR milepost 145.6.
The moderately sized train of 4344 ft and 6731 trailing tons trailing three SD70MACs is heavy with jet fuel from Flint Hills Resources in North Pole destined for the Anchorage International Airport. Alas the 85,000 bpd refinery whose production once accounted for 40% of the railroad's revenue is no more having shut down for a multitude of economic and political reasons in 2014 and being demolished two years later after operating since 1977.

ET22-459 with coal train passes the north freight bypass of Poznań in direction Naramowice block and further probably towards Szczecin. September 17, 2004.
Although the landscape in Greater Poland is flat, here the raiilroad has to cross Warta river and its small valley, so this rail viaduct was constructed together with entire bypass in 1970. This viaduct with the bridge over Warta is about 1 km long.

ET22-459 z "węgrlarzem" na towarowej obwodnicy Poznania (linia 395) w kierunku Naramowic, a może i dalej do Szczecina. 17 września 2004 roku.
Chociaż teren w Wielkopolsce jest płaski jak naleśnik, to akurat w tym miejscu Warta tworzy małą dolinę i aby ją pokonać, wybudowano w 1970 roku, razem z całą obwodnicą, tę estakadę. Razem z mostem nad Wartą tor nad ziemią prowadzony jest na odcinku ok 1 km.

Das Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum befindet sich im Südwesten von Bochum, das 1977 auf dem Gelände des von 1916 bis 1918 erbauten und 1969 stillgelegten Bahnbetriebswerkes in Dahlhausen. Es ist mit einem Areal von etwa 46.000 m² eines der größten privaten Eisenbahnmuseen Deutschlands.
The Bochum Railway Museum is located in the southwest of Bochum and was opened in 1977 on the site of the railway depot in Dahlhausen, which was built between 1916 and 1918 and closed in 1969. With an area of around 46,000 m², it is one of the largest private railway museums in Germany.
Met de doortocht van de IC van Oostende naar Eupen was mijn tripje naar Voeren al geslaagd. Maar goed, ik was hier nu toch en hoopte toch stiekem op nog een cargo, temeer omdat de Ambrogio-trein vanuit Muizen nog steeds geen teken van leven gaf.
Met die cargo's kwam het trouwens wel goed want niet lang na de doortocht van de IC kwam er me namelijk een familie op dit plekje vergezellen. Na even kennis te maken, bleek het om Laurent Joseph te gaan die samen met zijn vrouw, dochter Sylvie en zijn zoon van dit mooie weer profiteerde om ook wat treinen op foto te zetten. En Laurent wist me dan ook te vertellen dat er binnen het half uur niet minder dan vier cargo's richting binnenland gingen sporen. Twee voor rekening van LINΞΛS (waaronder een losse Class 66), eentje van DB Cargo en ook nog eentje van Crossrail. Samen met de omgeleide IC van Eupen naar Oostende zouden we hier dus nog vijf treinen op 30 minuten kunnen klikken. Zei daar iemand de Rijn?! ;-)
De trein die het mooiste kleurde, was de trein van Crossrail waarbij een anonieme 186'er de LKW Walter-shuttle richting Zeebrugge sleepte.
Voor het verdere verloop van de namiddag bleef nu alleen nog de vraag of de Ambrogio-trein vanuit Muizen überhaupt nog zou vertrekken... en zo ja, voor zonsondergang? De spanning steeg. Wordt sowieso vervolgd...

Sledges are dangerous. Trust me. I would experience that in person in a couple of hours - at this moment we were only making sure not to be hit by one coming down the hill. With success, fortunately. All to get a nice view of the Samedan to Chur freight train. Towering above it all is the town of Latsch.
The freight train, hauled by Ge 6/6 II 701, is relatively long compared to the ones we had seen so far. I think these trains sometimes stop at intermediate stations to pick up, or drop off, cars.
RhB 701 with it's freight train from Samedan to Chur is approaching the station of Bergün.

For Freight Car Friday here's another in the continuing series of former Boston and Maine cars sprinkled throughout New England. This view looks across the Housatonic River at the historic former Hurlburt Paper Mill in South Lee. Amazingly there has been a paper mill on this site since 1806 and 220 years later there still is! Today it is operated by Onyx Specialty Papers and the oldest buildings in use date to around 1883. You can learn more here:
onyxpapers.com/about-onyx/our-history/
The facility no longer receives rail service here though the Housatonic Railroad's ex New Haven Berkshire Line main passes right through the mill complex. However, two boxcars spotted on a loading trestle offer the illusion that it does. The track they sit on is now disconnected from the HRRC main and the two cars are now just used as storage.
The two cars are clearly of Boston and Maine provenance but I cannot make out the numbers. They appear to be in the 77000 which would make them 50 ft 50 ton Pullman-Standard PS-1s part of a 1000 car order built between May and June 1956 when Pat McGinnis was modernizing the railroad. That would make them sister cars to this one I found in Vermont last year: flic.kr/p/2rsSoCD
If anyone knows the actual numbers or when these cars were spotted here I'd love to know more but presumably they would have been placed here during the nearly nine year period from April 1982 to January 1991 when the line from Pittsfield to Canaan was owned and operated by the Boston and Maine and later Guilford Transportation.
