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.
In der Breitenfurter Kurve konnte 152 086-5 mit einem leeren Schüttgutwagenzug auf dem Weg nach Norden fotografiert werden.

Auf der "Coal Line" zwischen dem Grossraum Johannesburg und Richards Bay verkehren nicht nur Kohlezüge - wie man sieht.
Drei E72 von TFR ziehen einen vollen Holzzug aus dem Landesinnern zur Küste. Die vordere Lok hatte zum Glück die deutlich gefälligere orange Farbgebung - das TFR blau ist leider .... nicht so fotogen.
Der Zug fährt auf der sehr gut ausgebauten Hauptmagistrale - auf der zumindest 2014 ganz ordentlicher Verkehr zu beobachten war mit flottem Tempo durch die leicht hügelige Landschaft. An dieser Stelle verlaufen die beiden Streckengleise in einigem Abstand voneinander, links hinten im Bild sind die Fahrleitungsmasten des Streckengleises für Nordfahrer zu erkennen.

ST44-1113 with early morning regular freight train TMWSc 59582 from Gdynia Port GPW to KWK Halemba leaves Żukowo Wschodnie station. August 14, 2006.
For a couple of years it was said that freight trains on old Coal Trunk Line was a result of PKP PLK's track access charges policy which made the cost of freight trains on unelectrified secondary lines far less in comparison to electrified mainlines. I'm not sure whether it was a case, or rather the problems with mainline capacity, anyway it let railway photographers make many pictures of freight trains here, as up to three Southbound trains were running during daylight (this one to KWK Halemba, tankers to Puławy Azoty, and the third to Chełm Wschodni). They were quite punctual, although not running everyday, except of this very one, that was every day certainty.

ST44-1113 z porannym pociągiem towarowym stałego kursowania TMWSc 59582 relacji Gdynia Port GPW - KWK Halemba, opuszcza stację Żukowo Wschodnie. 14 sierpnia 2006 roku.
Dosłownie kilka lat PKP Cargo przeprowadziło trzy pary pociągów towarowych z Gdyni starą Magistralą Węglową - mówiło się iż z powodu określonej polityki PKP PLK, promującej jazdę po drugorzędnych niezelektryfikowanych liniach (faktem jest, że Lotos swój pionierski dalekobieżny pociąg z Gdańska do Emilianowa trasował w znakomitej większości trasy liniami bez druta). Nie wiem, czy to był prawdziwy powód, niemniej stanowiło to nie lada gratkę dla fotografów. Latem wszystkie trzy pociągi na południe jechały w porze dziennej. Oprócz tego na zdjęciu - codziennego pewniaka - z Gdyni wyruszały jeszcze towarowe do Puław (głównie beczki) oraz Chełma (na ogół węglarki).

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.

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.

Bnsf 5059 leads the daily H-GALMEM down the Hannibal Sub. Seen here in colder times, This was before the flood of 2019. Near the town of Foley Mo. This was a tiny freight which is unusual in today's world of psr.
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.
The northbound chase of the third Dakota and Iowa train of the day (the Sioux City to Hawarden job) only yielded a few shots as it was relatively short distance, the light was generally wrong, and the day was winding down. This was by far my favorite of the mini chase of this train seen here in the small town of Akron. They are passing one of the very few surving Milwaukee Road depots along the line, that seems to have lasted because it has long been privately owned.
This is right about MP 12.3 on what was historically the thirty-seventh sub of the Milwaukee Road's Minnesota-Dakota Division in the road's last years. Here are DAIR SD40-2s 3029 and 3025 (EMD blt. Jun. 1979 and Jun. 1980 as MP 6041 and BN 8117 respectively) leading a moderately sized train of tanks, gons, and aggregate hoppers.

66740 with 6S94,the Wembley-Irvine china clays on 24/6/2020. With the freights booked to cross near Gisburn in the Ribble Valley this overbridge looked to be the best option to get both.There were obviously problems later with this train as RTT shows it stuck at Blea Moor for some 7 hours !

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.

Ty45-20 with the freight train passes Głuszyca Górna ex-station? Not at all, it's just an event train 88050 for railfans with nice freight outfit on February 10, 2001. The travellers were in first two wagons (equipped with coal or coke-fired heating stoves). Unfortunatelly the negative film I took that day went bad through the years and again, Piotrek must have been curating it in Gimp couple of hours to preserve all these puffs of smoke around. The overall effect is not the best but I appreciate all efforts he made to make it possible to show.

Ty45-20 z pociągiem towarowym w Głuszycy Górnej? Nic z tych rzeczy, to tylko imprezowy pociąg 10 lutego 2001 roku, numer 88050 relacji Wałbrzych Główny - Kłodzko Główne. Uczestników "zakwaterowano" w brankardach (w których zainstalowane były "kozy" na węgiel czy koks).
Niestety negatyw, który wówczas miałem strasznie spsiał przez te lata i Piotrek (znów) musiał sporo wysiłku włożyć, by zachować piękne kłęby pary nad parowozem. Chociaż końcowy efekt nie zadowala mnie w pełni, to chylę czoła przed jego umiejętnościami i cierpliwością (nie wiem, co większe).

GBRF 66779 "Evening Star" with the 4M86 17.02 Ely Papworth Sidings to Wellingborough at Kilby Bridge after the sun sank behind the cloud bank just before sunset time
With a burned out top headlight, a CEFX GP38 and a CMQ B23-7 lead a Northbound freight through the log yard at Brownville. The log yard has since closed and now the tracks serve as storage, meaning shots like this are almost impossible with the sidings full of cars.

As a child my Dad brother Don and I paused in this same spot to watch New Haven freights sporting RS11s, GP9s , H1644's and the occasional FA.
Those days are long past now and the PC is one summer away from being a memory like the NH.

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.

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.
