Norfolk Southern train H55 gets up to track speed as they depart Suffern, New York with a grain train for Paterson, NJ. While once a common sight on passenger-dominated rail lines in the northeast, these days much of that freight traffic has either been run off or forced to run at night. But there are still some holdouts across New Jersey Transit's system, including this M-F Suffern based local.

Pan Am Boston based local BO-1 is heading home light engine after run to Peabody to deliver cars to Rousselot which is the very last customer remaining on the north shore and the sole reason this lonely freight train makes its biweekly treks up the old Boston and Maine Eastern Route mainline. This is a sad state of a affairs and a far cry from days of old, but now only crumbling vestiges of trackside industries and legacy names such as Brickyard serve to remind us of once was. But forget all that was lost for a moment and be thankful for this pretty sight we do have as the mysteriously Guilford repainted GP40-2LW 507 rolls south beneath the signal mast here at about MP 10.8 on the Keolis/MBTA mainline.

I looked through my slides taken 30 years ago this week on the Cape Mountaineer tour in South Africa and decided to scan this picture obtained during an outstanding session at Kraankuil. Just after dawn we witnessed a number of freight workings at speed along the Kimberley - De Aar main line. This one featured a modified class 25NC No 3454 with a dual Lempor exhaust system, the chimneys being arranged side by side rather than in line. The loco also had modified smoke deflectors with a curve at the top clearly seen in this picture. This is the last time that I saw steam hauled freight trains at express speeds. 26th July 1990.

Visiting from the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, Great Western Railway 2884 class2-8-0 no. 3850 makes a dramatic departure from Loughborough Central on 25th January 2025 with a demonstration goods train, during the GCR Winter Steam Gala.
West of Kalamazoo, Amtrak's Michigan Line is basically devoid of freight trains other than NS local B05. This train runs out of Burns Harbor and will run up the AML as far east as Decatur. While the local itself is usually not much more than a handful of cars, the chances of seeing a long freight on the Michigan Line improved a few years ago when Northstar Grain built a large grain elevator in Decatur. Grain trains will usually run with a pair of ITCS-equipped GP60s on either end of a pair of road units, however on this day B05 ran with a trio of GP60s and an Admiral cab SD40-2. The units are seen here headed east under the old NYC coal tower at Michigan City. Once they reach Decatur they will build an outbound grain train and head back to Burns Harbor. The tank car between the third and fourth units is for a customer en route.
