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.
Delta Rail engine 243 650 is on its way with a freight train from Frankfurt (Oder) to Rheinhausen and has just left the Berlin Außenring (the circle line around Berlin) and will continue its journey west via Magdeburg.

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.

The duo of "tomcats", i.e. locomotives 742 with running numbers 220 and 353, as the local freight train from Vrchlabí to Trutnov hlavní nádraží, passed the distant signal to the entry semaphore of the Kunčice nad Labem junction station. In the background the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše, Riesengebirge).
In the 742 locomotives, similarly to the class 771 or the Russian TEM2, the multiple control sockets are factory placed only on one side (from the shorter engine compartment), which makes it necessary to put the locomotives' "butts" together when you want to use the multiple control. June 29, 2022.

Duet kocurów, czyli lokomotyw 742 o numerach 220 oraz 353, jako pociąg zdawczy relacji Vrchlabí - Trutnov hlavní nádraží, minął tarczę ostrzegawczą do semafora wjazdowego stacji węzłowej Kunčice nad Labem. W tle Karkonosze.
W lokomotywach 742, podobnie jak w rosyjskich TEM2, gniazda sterowania wielokrotnego umieszczone są fabrycznie tylko z jednej strony (od krótszego przedziału silnikowego), co powoduje konieczność zestawiania lokomotyw "dupkami" do siebie, gdy się chce wykorzystać sterowanie wielokrotne. 29 czerwca 2022 roku.

For Freight Car Friday here's a closer look at the most interesting of the group of seemingly forgotten cars located in the weed grown remains of the former Boston and Maine Railroad yard at the very northern end of the old Pemigewasset Valley Branch. This was where the B&M once met J.E. Henry's East Branch and Lincoln Railroad and served the vast Franconia Paper Mill which existed in some form for nearly 90 years as the lifeblood of the line. This view looks north near the very end of the state owned trackage as the mill has now been repurposed into a shopping, lodging, and theater complex in support of the modern life blood of the region, tourism.
This car is Boston and Maine 1907, a refrigerated milk car, one of 35 in the series BM 1900-1934 built in Jan. 1958. It is one of 15 mechanically refrigerated four door cars assigned to the Bellows Falls to Boston milk train operated for Bellows Falls Creamery and First National Stores which sent processed milk in one gallon glass bottles. The cars in this series constructed by General American Transportation (GATX) were the very last dedicated milk cars ever built and saw service for less than a decade before milk transportion by rail ended. Many survived long after as company service cars or storage sheds and several have been saved for preservation.

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.

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 😄

A westbound Conrail freight train is seen gliding under Route 219 at CP W near Summerhill, PA. The abutments from the old flyover are visible to the left of the train. In the far distance if you squint enough you can see the tops of the PT 263 signals at Summerhill!

A regular freight service on the Settle & Carlisle line is the cement train from Clitheroe to Mossend. Photographed in the early evening crossing the barren and desolate Blea Moor, 66102 powers through on the 1:100 climb past Blea Moor signal box working the Clitheroe - Mossend 6S00 loaded cement tanks service.
65894 takes an authentic looking eastern freight train up the bank to Goathland, the main attraction throughout the gala for me. The blue star is worn because the J27 wore one on its final day of traffic on the silksworth branch, in 1967, and the locos penultimate day in service.
A bit of a run from esk valley cottages to get here with seconds to spare but worth it
An unusual extra freight to a yard usually served by "through" freight MRVOA wheels west along the Cal-P at Elmira yesterday evening. A pair of UP house rebuild SD59MX's provide power and SMW and YMP provided the info with an assist from JPP. Totally cheating.

The backdrop has a mixture of old-school heavy industry with the steelworks of Redcar across the centre and new-style renewable energy in the form of the offshore wind farm on the right.

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.

The withdrawal of the RhB Ge 6/6" locomotives has seen the use of both Class Ge 4/4"' and pairs of Class Ge 4/4" machines on the Samedan freight services as illustrated in this view taken in September 2022 at Bever.
The 09:48 Samedan to Landquart freight 5336 would travel via the Engadin Valley route and had 631 'Untervaz' & 632 'Zizers' at the business end. Traffic stops at Zuoz [10:39-11:11] and Klosters Platz [11:43-12:02] were listed in the RhB 2021/2022 Freight Timetable that was available to view on-line.

The RS71 is seen going in the hole at YA siding to await the passing of the eastbound scoot train 952. The 70 crew is coming back from Eastern Fence on the Calverton Spur after spotting 11 and pulling 10 plastic pellet cars. It is quite unusual to see the freight out here this late, but with the new scoot schedule, and the two block rule, it took them all day to switch their one customer.
