West Michigan has been dumped on with snow lately, accumulating over a foot over 3 days in some areas. But freight has to move no matter the weather, so yesterday the Coopersville & Marne set out from Coopersville with SW9 #7014 and their ex GTW caboose for Grand Rapids, to retrieve a pair of loaded centerbeams for Standard Lumber. The trip was slow, with the crew sometimes having to back up and get a running start at drifts, and tip-toeing gingerly through some ice-packed crossings so as to avoid coming off the rails. It also made for a great show, and here we see #7014 plowing through a drift at the 48th Ave crossing just east of Coopersville.

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.

With just about a week until my next visit, I thought I'd have a look back at what I got on a grey day at the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway last March... GWR 2800 Class 2-8-0 locomotive 2807 pulls away from Winchcombe station with its freight train during a 30742 Charters photographic day.
A mixture of freight groups all going towards the port of Burgas. First up are some open E-cars with bentonite from Kardzhali, then we have a group of containers and at the end a few more E-cars with scrap metal. Hauled by locomotive 46 033 of BDZ Cargo.
Not a location renown for capturing shots of freight traffic, but the ongoing farce at Nuneham viaduct near Culham, with the line between Didcot and Oxford closed until at least mid June, means some Oxford area freight services are being diverted via the Chilterns line. This includes aggregates to/from Oxford Banbury Road and automotive traffic out of Cowley for Southampton Docks

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.

This photo was taken at the freight station in Mannheim germany, with an Olympus OMD EM 10. A lens I used an Olympus M.9-18.
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.

31185 +117 820625 Stratford
A fairly typical scene from the early 80's were these freights which criss-crossed London with with various loads.
31185 and 31117 swing through Stratford with a train on a very damp and gloomy 25th June 1982.
One of those 'can't decide between b&w and colour' moments!

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.
