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.
Sr1 3093 hauling mixed steel freight train from Rautaruukki (Raahe) to Tampere. Train was running over two hours late when departing from Seinäjoki after dropping off some wagons to the yard.
CN's SD75I's mostly have large noodles on their nose (the way they were delivered), but this one (CN 5735) has been repainted and has a smaller noodle on the nose, like CN SD70I's mostly have. It leads CN 401 through Montreal West, with CN 2543 & CN 4107 trailing. Behind the train is a short tunnel that will soon be demolished.

Et41-102 with empty Fals-type wagons (they are commonly called "talbots" here) as a freight train from Warszawa Praga to probably one of several coal mines in Silesia is passing now Warszawa Główna Towarowa station. March 14, 2020.
Couple of facts. One, this locomotive has been modernized, what is indicated by air conditioner on the roof, new headlamps, and new glass in windows. And nowadays you can't spot unmodernized ET41 class locomotive in working condition. Two, the locomotive has a Czech/Slovak safety system installed, because together with this equippment the old full pantographs are replaced to new "half-pantos".

ET41-102 z pociągiem towarowym mija stację Warszawa Główna Towarowa. Skład talbotów (wagony samowyładowcze serii "Fa" i różnych typów konstrukcyjnych) sugeruje, że jest to pociąg z Warszawy Pragi, po rozładunku na moście rozładunkowym EC Żerań, jadący gdzieś na Śląsk.
Prowadzący elektrowóz jest po niedawnej naprawie głównej. Że niedawnej - bo błyszczy się nowym lakierem (faktycznie ukończona miesiąc wcześniej), a że głównej - o tym z kolei świadczą halogenowe reflektory oraz klimatyzatory na dachach sekcji. Z kolei połówkowe pantografy wskazują, iż lokomotywa ma "pakiet czechosłowacki", czyli dopuszczona jest do eksploatacji na sieciach SŽ (kiedyś SŽDC - Czechy) oraz ŽSR (Słowacja). 14 marca 2020 roku.

A Union Pacific freight train pulls into Kelso, California in the Mojave desert. Kelso has been a railroad yard since the days when helper steam locomotives had to be added to freight trains to help pull them over the long Cima grade. When I took this photo in 1987 there was a long line of diesel engines waiting on a side track, so maybe they still saw duty as helper engines. I am converting my slides to digital images, so this photo has been scanned from a Kodachrome slide.
This was the last spot on this impromptu chase of surprise CSXT company train W036 on this fun early autumn day as they approach the Center Bridge Rd. crossing at MP WOR6.8 (the new CSXT milepost) on the former Pan Am Railway nee Boston and Maine Railroad Worcester mainline. At right stands the historic freight house still dressed in tattered peeling standard B&M colors. They are heading down to Clinton to load up the system tie gang which had been working in the area for months in the ongoing effort to rehabilitate CSXT's former Pan Am property. A sharp pair of SD40-2s (8833 blt. Sep. 1978 as CR 6442 and 8365 blt. Apr. 1969 as a straight SD40 CO 7506) were a pleasant surprise and worthy of this mini chase.

For Freight Car Friday here is an overview of one of New England's largest and most famous facilities, Rigby Yard. With no locomotives in sight the eye is draw to the multitude of colorful freight cars still dominated by boxcars as is traditon in the Pine Tree State. Also noteworthy is the cut of spine cars loaded with blue Eimskip containers and used to transport Poland Spring water from Waterville to Ayer, a rare shorthaul intraline move that was one of Pan Am's rare innovative successes in recent years.
The more than 200 acre yard complex was built by the Portland Terminal Company in 1923 on the grounds of the old Rigby Park, a harness tracing track that operated from 1893 to 1899 then sat unused until 1922 when it was sold to the PT which was looking to consolidate multiple smaller and older legacy yards around the Portland area.
New owner CSXT is pouring a lot of money into this yard which was once a massive joint facility serving the PT and its two Class 1 owners the Boston and Maine and the Maine Central Railroads. I'm not sure what the future holds but its nice to see track work, site cleanup, and building repairs after decades of neglect by owner Guilford Transportation (later Pan Am Railways).
This telephoto view was taken from the Pleasant Hill Road overpass technically in the town Scarborough near MP 200 on CSXT's ex Pan Am Freight Main, the north end of the former Boston and Maine Portland Division.
