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.

Washington Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad freight motor #16 sits at the road's freight terminal in Baltimore, MD on April 28, 1935. Of note is the little dwarf signal to the right of the car that was likely meant for outbound trains leaving the adjacent passenger terminal. In less than 4 months the car and the signal would no longer be needed as the WB&A abandoned operations on August 20, 1935. Original 116 B&W negative by George Votava.

Back in the days when Class 73s rarely strayed beyond the borders of the Southern Region - and certainly never turned up on the West Highland line 😄

ST44-1265 (czyli ex-1083) z pociągiem towarowym relacji Działoszyn -Lipusz, na łuku przed przystankiem w Olpuchu, czyli jesteśmy we Wdzydzkim Parku Krajobrazowym. 8 lipca 2020 roku, czyli nie minęły dwa miesiące od ukończenia modernizacji lokomotywy - pewnie dlatego mimo wysiłku nie widać żadnego zadymienia. Pociąg minie właśnie wiadukt nad lokalną drogą.

The drone is facing the sun, so with clouds prevalent this was an opportunity to try this angle of the viaduct.

Majority of wagons are empty Sh-type used for steel coils, as the main load crossing the border in Muszyna is the steel from US Steel steelworks in Košice.

ET21-270 z mieszanym pociągiem towarowym w kierunku granicy ze Słowacją niedługo przed semaforem wjazdowym stacji Bobowa. 28 kwietnia 2012 roku.
Większość wagonów jest typu Sh - zwracanych na Słowację po wyładunku kręgów stalowych, jako że główny ładunek przechodzący przez kolejowe przejście graniczne w Muszynie to stal z huty US Steel w Koszycach.
