Making her way south, along the Dolores River from Rico, the Rio Grande Southern's famous workhorse 10-wheeler #20 hauls a short freight through a snowy Colorado landscape, bound for Dolores, CO.
This February 2026 re-creation was staged on Colorado's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, during a special visit from RGS Locomotive #20, brought here from the Colorado Railroad Museum. On this particular day, she was operating with a short freight for a Lerro Photography photo shoot. The train is pictured westbound along the Animas River, approaching the Tank Creek water stop at Milepost 474.6. Note that Locomotive #20 is running without a spark arrestor for this trip, which was permitted for this trip only because of the deep snow cover along the entire line.

This never gets old to me, a South Shore Freight train behind 2 gp38-2's head east down 11th street in Michigan City, Indiana.
In Switzerland, rail still has an important share in the modal mix. Government takes adequate measures to get traffic off the trucks and onto trains. As a consequence, they have
managed to preserve the peaece in the beautiful Alps. And that's one of the reasons why I love this part of Europe so much.
To get all this traffic on rails, it is still possible to lad freight onto trains at the stations. Like here in Surava, where we were at the right time at the right place to
witness a mini Tm2/2 shunter collect some loaded cars. A nice break, and some unexpected freight action, in the search for a spot to photograph the next passenger train.

A fast, Nickel Plate Freight charges east over the wooden trestle at Baker Creek, just a half mile or so northwest of the Michigan town of Carland, on a misty morning in August. This re-creation was staged back in 2009, during a Lerro Productions photo shoot on the Great Lakes Central Railroad, featuring Nickel Plate Road Berkshire Locomotive #765 from the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, and Pere Marquette Berkshire #1225 from the Owosso, MI-based Steam Railroading Institute (SRI). This incredible event, featuring the only two remaining, operable Lima Berkshire Locomotives was only made possible when the 765, which is based in Indiana, visited the SRI for an unrelated railfan festival in early August of 2009. Thanks to the SRI's host railroad, the Great Lakes Central, it was possible to photograph both of these American classics doing 40 mph run-bys with freight trains over a two-day period, including some double-headed action featuring BOTH locomotives.
This mixed freight was sent to the siding at Cove. I got this head-on shot from a safe spot, standing at a curve, well away from the tracks. I used a long lens to create this look but I was not on the tracks or trespassing.
I do not know why his ditch lights were off.

Company trademark on tailgate of Navajo Freight Line truck.

The Navajo Freight Line was one of the major trucking companies in the mid-20th century American West. Headquartered in Denver, the company’s tagline was -- inexplicably -- “LOOK FOR THE BLUE-EYED INDIAN.”

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.

As is tradition each year, the Friends of the East Broad Top host a Fall Reunion. The Reunion consists of many excursions via steam-powered trains and the railroad's various motorcars for FEBT members. The morning usually has a photo freight run as the sun rises. With a couple friends being FEBT members, another friend and I decided to head over and enjoy the day's festivities from afar and get our first taste of the narrow gauge's operation. The photo freight would leave promptly at 0730 from Orbisonia, heading north to Colgate Grove, just as the morning sun crested the mountains sheltering the valley. The train consisted of several EBT coal hoppers and a passenger car on the rear, paying homage to the mixed trains that the EBT used to run, with coal being the big business. Once at Colgate Grove, the train was wyed and returned back, seen here entering the yard limits and heading for the station. Once passengers were off, the freight cut would be put away and the day's passenger runs would begin. It was a great day exploring a new railroad, and maybe starting a new tradition!

Preparing to shove his train into North Yard, A700 pulls down the Old Seaboard with a standard cab EMD leading.
At Lakatnik the daily freight from Mezdra to Sofia appears with a lot of wagons and a lot of locos - 44 093 is leading with 43 552 helping whilst 55 013 and 07 065 are being transported dead in tow towards Sofia.
For today's Freight Car Friday here's a close up of a classic logo still riding home rails. This Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway arrowhead is on the flank of DMIR 2164, a side dump gondola dating from Nov. 1977. It is entrained on CN local L568 pulling in to the north end of Proctor Yard after an overnight turn up and back to the Canadian border at Ranier via told Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific mainline. This logo dates from 1972 and was the last image of the independent DMIR prior to CN taking control in May 2004.
It's always a treat to see a fallen flag logo, especially where they belong so shoot them while you still can.

*Freight trains:
Much of the world's freight is transported by train. Under the right circumstances, transporting freight by train is highly economic, and also more energy efficient than transporting freight by road. Rail freight is most economic when freight is being carried in bulk and over long distances, but is less suited to short distances and small loads.
