But finally we got our freight train! Followed by a very quick hike to the car, and fresh air.

I popped over to Melton this afternoon as there were three freights passing through in a short time. Just my luck two passed each other at the station.

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.

Increasingly I seem to be heading out to get a single working - and yesterday was no exception, although I managed to bag a few extra shots of DMUs which form the vast majority of trains on this line.
The 'target' train is the 7.25am Wilton EFW - Knowsley Freight Terminal (6M16) empty domestic and industrial refuse containers, hauled this day by DB Cargo Shed 66067. It's captured here passing through the short tunnel under Deanroyd Road, Walsden, and I'm stood over the cut-and-cover tunnel close to Bottomley Road where, a few yards behind me, lies the northern portal of the 1.6 mile Summit Tunnel.
I'd scoped this shot out a few weeks ago when there were fewer leaves on the trees, but the low sun created some challenging reflections off the yellow fronts rendering most shots all but useless. I got lucky yesterday though because a cloud shadow just managed to disappear no more than 10 secs before the train came around the corner, and of course the higher sun didn't pose quite the same reflection problems it did on the last visit. Thankfully too there was just enough of a gap above the top of the railing to capture both loco and one of the blue containers in the frame.
It was nice to see the plan come to fruition .... but not quite as nice as the bacon butty I enjoyed afterwards in the lay-by up the road where I'd parked the car :)
Shot was taken right side of the fence.

45 186 of BDZ Cargo ahead of freight train 20670 (Povelyanovo - Sofia) captured between Kurilo and Iliyantsi stations. At the back of the train 43 547 is a helper locomotive.
It is Freight Car Friday so we're staying with our theme of Boston and Maine history around the vast ghostly ruins of the North Billerica shop complex.
For decades this area was a graveyard of cool locomotives and cars and I remember on my first visit in the mid 1990s getting my one and only glimpse of a real Maine Central harvest gold unit, albeit stripped and in the dead line. Today all those are long gone and with the exception of a few historic pieces preserved by the MBTA this boxcar is about it these days. Sitting behind the former storehouse / general office building on an isolated disconnected piece of track slowly sinking into the much is BM 76143, a 40 ft 65 ton car built in March 1957 as part of a 538 car order (Lot 8323) from Pullman Standard and delivered in bluen and black with giant McGinnis style billboard logos.

For Freight Car Friday here's one that except for the graffiti looks as if it could be a publicity shot for TTX.
While I miss the classic Plate C 50 ft boxcars dressed in assorted railroad schemes that were so prevalent the last four decades it's nice to see that the all American boxcar is still alive. Nowadays the prevalent car type is 60 ft Plate F 286K cars like this string of double plug door TTX owned cars. TBOX 666573 in the center is two decades old having been built by National Steel Car in Hamilton, ON as part of thousand car order job number 1290 between Jun 2004 and Mar 2005.
Long strings of boxcars going to the many warehouses in the Boston Suburbs fed by CSXT's Framingham based locals are common on this train, Selkirk to Worcester manifest train M436 (which had run around M264 at Palmer) which is seen crossing the ancient double stone arch bridge over the Quabog River at about MP 75.5 on modern day CSXT's Boston Subdivision, the once and forever Boston and Albany Railroad mainline.

JRF Train #3086 leads the daily cross country intermodal train from Sapporo to Nagoya through the Tokyo core at the busiest train station in the world, Shinjuku. Catching it here at 11:57 is almost always guaranteed since the Shonan-Shinjuku Line is scheduled down to the second. If they're late by even a few minutes, the train will have to wait it out around Omiya for several hours until another slot opens up later that afternoon. This is what actual Precision Scheduled Railroading looks like.
