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.

BNSF SDF40-2 #6976 leads a demo freight east on Illinois Railway Museum's mainline in Union Illinois
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.

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.

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.

Station Świebodzice (ex- Freiburg in Schlesien) before modernization and its famous tight curve - circa 250 m radius, what is always painful for both the rails and the locomotive bogies. And ET22-2027 with a freight train loaded with aggregates passes the station. June 27, 2015.

Stacja Świebodzice (w wersji angielskiej podaję jej oryginalną niemiecką nazwę) przed modernizacją i jej słynny ciasny łuk - około 250 m promienia. Przejazd po tak ciasnym torze odczuwalny jest zarówno dla samych szyn, jak i wózków lokomotywy.
Stację mija pociąg towarowy z ET22-2027 na czele, wyładowany kruszywem z którejś z dolnośląskich kopalń w pobliżu linii 274, za Wałbrzychem. 27 czerwca 2015 roku.

This freight train was moving through the fog at about 5 mph on a frosty morning in the Montpelier, Idaho railyard.
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.
To learn more about this shop complex see the prior posts.

A freight train from Minneapolis. I always liked the idea of watching moving trains. Trains and locomotives always fascinated me.
August 7, 2008. Minneapolis. This one here.
We came up to see the pendolino drags but were amazed at the amount of freight as well..what a place.... 66229 heads round the curve at Smardale
While NJ Transit F40PH-2Cat 4120 is not a freight locomotive it can be seen doing other duties for the railroad. In this instance, the unit was used on NJ Transit's Aqua train, a train that sprays leaves and leaf residue off the tracks. Here the train is seen heading west through Garfield on the Bergen County line.
