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.

This freight train sped towards me as it rumbled through downtown Stuart, Florida at 3;15 am early one morning.

66011 crawls over the points at Par with a freight for Exeter Riverside on 5th May 2021.

 

The freight was 6C53 1432 from Parkandillack to Exeter which had its origin amended to start from St Blazey.

Unfortunately, non-passenger trains are even rarer these days than they used to be so this was a welcome relief.

 

Progress unfortunately isn't aesthetic.

Just another frame of this scene looking the opposite direction (compass south and railroad west) at this non revenue Keolis/MBTA extra 'double draft' of the 2003/1716 set towing the dead 1122/1809 set in from Rockport due to the 1122 having a bad starter. They are at MP 17.7 on Main 1 of the Eastern Route mainline and have just left Beverly and entered the city of Salem while crossing the Danvers River on the 905 ft long Beverly Draw in this view looking down from the parallel Essex Street bridge. They are slowing for a stop at the Northey Point interlocking to meet a pair of revenue trains before proceeding on to Boston Engine Terminal in Somerville.

 

The railroad can trace its roots here back to 1836 when the Eastern Railroad opened between Boston and Portsmouth, NH. By 1884 it was under the control of the Boston and Maine and remained an integral part of the powerful New England class 1 until it was sold in 1976 along with all the other commuter district lines to the commonwealth by the trustees of the then bankrupt road. In 1984 a major fire damaged the bridge and the approach trestles were replaced with concrete but the 105 ft long swing span dating from 1886 wouldn't be replaced until 2017. Since 1984 this bridge has been passenger only, as what was by then Guilford didn't resume freight operations after the bridge was repaired.

An eastbound ICE manifest was rolling along on the Elgin Subdivision at Itasca on a gloomy spring morning. DM&E and IC&E SD40 types were large and in charge at the time.

 

It was good while it lasted since today's freights are powered by much less appealing locomotives.

Kompletnie nie pamiętam kiedy i gdzie go poznałem. Musiało to być chyba przed grudniem 2000 roku, bowiem, gdy peregrynowałem lokomotywownię na Odolanach w nocy, to mi towarzyszył... chyba. Albo jednak dopiero w 2001 roku się poznaliśmy, pewnie przy okazji jakiejś imprezy, ale jakiej? Tego momentu nie pamiętam. Z pewnością wpadł do mnie do Gdańska, gdy jeszcze tam mieszkałem, na długi weekend listopadowy owego 2001 roku, chociaż słaby to był weekend, ze świętem 11 listopada w niedzielę. W każdym razie pojeździliśmy nieco po północy kraju i pokazywałem mu moje zakątki, pogoniliśmy "lopka" na Ostbahnie, pokręciliśmy się po Węglówce, takie tam standardy północy. Wyznał mi chyba wtedy, że moje pierwsze fotki w sieci zainspirowały go do tego hobby. Ojej, urosłem, chociaż z tych moich pierwszych fotek i pierwszych internetowych stron to ja dumny nie jestem - było to technicznie i kompozycyjnie po prostu słabe. Sami wiecie, nie każda fotka, którą człowiek pstryknie, nadaje się do pokazywania urbi et orbi.

Ale on nie był byle kim, miał niezłe zacięcie, potrafił rozkminiać jakieś "motywy", kombinować, jak do jakiegoś w sumie banalnego ujęcia podejść tak, że nagle na nowo odkrywało się znane okolice. I był cholernie zawzięty, jak coś nie wyszło, to tylko złowieszcza cisza i nerwowe zagryzanie wargi zdradzało, że nie jest pogodzony z losem.

W sumie niewiele razem gdzieś wypadaliśmy. Pewnie wszystkich wspólnych wyjazdów było nie więcej, niż palców u obu rąk, a wypadów wyłącznie we dwójkę tylko dwa - ten pierwszy, gdy byłem gospodarzem terenów, oraz ten ostatni, gdy dłuższe zamknięcie na linii 96 między Stróżami i Tarnowem wymusiło objazdy linią Rzeszów - Jasło. Czyli, było nie było, ostatni wspólny wypad tylko we dwójkę miał miejsce w długi sierpniowy weekend już niemal dwanaście lat temu!

Wypad był całkiem udany, chociaż nie wszystko wyszło tak, jak miało i parę dłuższych momentów nerwowego milczenia zaliczyliśmy. Ale i poszukiwania różnych ciekawych miejsc, które już miałem tu okazję pokazać i pewnie jeszcze pokażę, sprawiały nam frajdę.

Ostatnim dniem wypadu był poniedziałek, 15 sierpnia. Jakoś ruch nie dopisywał, gdzieś w tyle głowy czuło się potrzebę powrotu do Warszawy, we znaki dawało się zmęczenie parudniowymi podchodami i ganianiem pociągów nie zawsze w do końca spokojny sposób (chociaż mimo czasem brawurowej jazdy, czułem się z nim, jako kierowcą, całkiem bezpiecznie). Chyba w okolicach południa złapaliśmy ten pociąg, ST43-345 z beczkami pomiędzy przystankiem Wisłoczanka i stacją w Boguchwale. A potem długo, długo nic i... zdecydowaliśmy się ostatecznie wrócić do domu. I tak to właśnie zdjęcie z 15 sierpnia 2011 roku było tym ostatnim wspólnie robionym.

Widywaliśmy się potem nie raz, ale o ile dobrze pamiętam, dłuższego wypadu nie było, z pewnością nie we dwójkę. Aż w ostatni czwartek (tekst pisałem w maju 2021 r.) kolega przesłał mi SMS "Jeżyk nie żyje"...

Żegnaj Mareczku, samych udanych zdjęć i świetnych motywów w Krainie Wiecznych Łowów (fotograficznych).

Eastbound mixed freight pulls through Niles Canyon.

For Freight Car Friday here's a look at a string of system cars entrained on CSXT train C748 rolling southbound along the west bank of the Hudson River at about MP 46.4 on modern day CSXT's busy River Sub. This loaded coal train loaded at Core Natural Resource's Bailey Mine on the former Monongahela Railway's Manor Branch, then originated from Newell Yard and was ultimately destined for the Consol Marine Terminal in Baltimore for export. Normally these trains would take the direct route to Baltimore via the former Baltimore and Ohio mainline thru Cumberland, but due to the track outage for the Howard Street tunnel clearance project they are taking a massive detour in order to get to the port because it is located north of the tunnel on the east side of the Patapsco River. This detour routing has meant the temporary return of regular unit coal trains to this line for the first time in many years much to the delight of fans.

 

As for this cut of cars per the folks at Railcarphotos.com these are 51 ft 286K rotary dump bathtub gons in series 300000-300449 built by FreightCar America, Job 120010, Jul-Oct 2010.

The freight Chord linking Dollands Moor to High Speed One is only used once or twice a day at most and therefore is always a little "slippy" Add in the fact it is so steep its a struggle for even a class 92 to get up with a train. The in cab signalling speed up here is 30 KMH and if the speedo were to go over 35 KMH then the TVM would sense it and apply the brakes. So if the wheels start slipping the speedo goes over 35 KMH and the brakes would apply so the best option is to "sand" the rails on the climb whilst applying full power to actually get the train up and over the hill so to speak without the wheels slipping. 92 011 is seen on full power and sand being applied as the sun rises over D Moor on 6L23 0528 D Moor-Ripple Lane Exchange Sidings via High Speed One.

I ended the beautiful day at the elevated track near Hrastovlje, almost halfway the climb from Koper to Črnotiče. The RG1604 to Maribor and Budapest was followed by an uphill container train. It is seen here at the entrance of Hrastovlje station, which is today only served by a bus service. Above the train, on the other side of the valley, the tracks cut through the steep hills. The train will be there in only a few minutes.

Eastbound manifest freight 14G crosses from Track 2 to Track 1 at Control Point PACK, near Torrance, Pennsylvania. PACK comes from Packsaddle Gap, where the Conemaugh River breaches Chestnut Ridge. The Pittsburgh Line follows the meandering Conemaugh through the Laurel Highlands.

'Friday Freight'

Colas 70810 gives a short burst of power as it heads North with 6Z42 Calcium Carbonate empties 05:32 Irvine Caledonian Paper to Aberdeen Waterloo, running slightly late around 181 minutes, passing Baldinnies Crossing, Forteviot.

For a late Freight Car Friday offering here's a view of Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train EDMO is exiting the west portal of the 4.75 mile long Hoosac Tunnel at MP 420.4 on the B&E operated Pan Am Southern Freight Mainline, the one time Boston and Maine Fitchburg Division.

 

The classic Conrail can opener logo adorns an empty tri level auto rack that provides a great visual of how tight the clearances are on this legendary bore. Orignally double tracked, when the tunnel was reduced to single track in 1957 the rails were centered to allow for TOFC loads. Clearances were increased in 1997 by lowering the track and again in 2007 by notching the roof providing the current clearance of 19 ft 6 in to clear most auto racks as well as double stacked international containers.
