This is probably the only railroad in the country that can claim more steam than diesel locomotives and more passenger than freight revenue. But the Strasburg is indeed a full service common carrier, and though known for its world class steam excursion trains through pastoral Pennsylvania Dutch country it also operates a surprisingly busy and growing freight business. While steam does occasionally haul freight this is the normal locomotive for that task. Strasburg 8618 is an EMD SW8 blt. Feb. 1953 as NYC 8618 that came to the little 5 mile long historic pike around 2009.

For Freight Car Friday here's a look at fallen flag car entrained on CSXT Rigby to Selkirk manifest train M427 rolling west at MP QB50.7 on CSXT's Boston Sub, the former Boston and Albany Railroad mainline. Once ubiquitous, these classic 59 ft Plate C style boxcars ruled the rails for more than three decades and were built by the hundreds of thousands from the 1960s to 1980s but now their numbers are shrinking rapidly. Those shippers that continue to rely on boxcars have shifted to modern 286K high cube plate F designs and they day will come in the next decade or two when the classic plate C car can only be found on company work trains or in museums. But for now they are still earning revenue and this train is the best one in New England to still find them on a daily basis. To learn more about boxcars check out these links:

It's another class that was totally withdrawn from the service in PKP Cargo. Here ST43-355 that was one of just two working locomotives of this class that time, is hauling just few freight wagons of Tams-type. This freight train has just departed from Węgliniec and now is heading towards Zgorzelec. The poles set on the sides of the tracks indicate a soon electrification of this line. January 28, 2019.
The locomotive was withdrawn on March 15, 2019 so only month and half later.

To był jeden z dwóch pozostałych czynnych rumunów w PKP Cargo, skończył zresztą służbę jako pierwszy z tej dwójki 15 marca 2019 roku. Na zdjęciu z 28 stycznia 2019 roku ST43-355 z krótkim pociągiem towarowym (5 wagonów serii Tams) opuścił Węgliniec i kieruje się w stronę Zgorzelca. Rozstawione rzędy słupów wskazują na rychły koniec obowiązkowej trakcji spalinowej pomiędzy Węglińcem i Zgorzelcem.

I think the main point of interest on this shot is Locomotive No.6 'Douglas' from the Talyllyn Railway, being carried on the flat wagon as part of the consist. The locomotive was once part of the RAF fleet and has been painted in RAF livery as part of the centenary celebrations, being commemorated at this, the NYMR Autumn Steam Gala.
