Zevenbergen, 8 January 2016.
New York Central ALCO FA-1 # 1020 & # 1027 diesel electric locomotives are seen at the Mott Haven Yard in New York City, late 1950's. This is very interesting to see these lightening stripped freight service diesel locomotives in the third rail territory, where normally only DC motors roam. In the distant background you may observe an old NYC "S" motor directly behind the diesel locomotives. Then another old NYC "S" motor is seen behind the diesel locomotive on the right side of the photo.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This is a modified, enhanced and cropped photo scan that is from an image that was on the Internet.

British Railways, who were heavily dependent on freight transport at the time, made some efforts to promote their services in the face of the long battle in the face of road freight transport - that of course was for some time being fought for by other divisions of the British Transport Commission that BR was part of from 1948; namely British Road Services. BR issued various publications, often on a Regional basis, detailing the express freight train services available, that included 'first and last times' and delivery times for major destinations, along with details of the various types of services such as containerisation, and of goods yeards, depots and senior managers.
This example was issued by the London Midland Region and indeed is in their Regional colours. The 1959 edition unlike earlier versions no longer features a steam locomotive and various open freight wagons. Now, as Modernisation got underway a diesel locomotive is in charge and the train consists of more up-to-date continuously fitted brake wagons that enabled higher speeds for express fright trains. BR was also 'concentrating' freight on fewer depots and yards, pushing the use of road transport for the 'last' or 'first' miles and using containers rather than loose loads. The cover illustration is also an example of a commissioned work in scraperboard by an artist much used by British Railways, A N Wolstenholme.

From the Locomotive Magazine of April 1952 an advert issued by British Railways extolling their many and varied freight services, a sector that was at the time under continued pressure from newly 'liberated' road transport. This advert contrasts the ability to move heavy bulk loads alongside the most delicate of electrical equipment, a point pushed home by the appearance if not one but two electric lamp bulbs!
In fact the scraperboard illustration, a medium much favoured by advertisers at the time, is repeated reversed as can be made out from the artist/designer's initials "GME" being reversed on the right hand illustration.
The driver was a little curious as to what I was doing in the back of his semi trailer. But since it was empty, there wasn't much trouble I could get into even if I wanted to, lol. I just told him I had never been in one so deep (53ft) and that I was just "Lookin' back" and taking pictures, which he thought were pretty cool :)
From the 1963 edition of the annual "The Trade of Hull & the Humber Ports" issued by the Hull Daily Mail and that contain many articles about the city, its trade and port and the hinterland served. There are many adverts relating to shipping and other local concerns such as this regarding fast freight services provided by rail.
The abolition of the British Transport Commission under the 1962 Act and the creation of an 'independent' British Railways saw a loosening of ties regarding titles on publicity and advertising so this doesn't actually mention Briitsh Railways! It make use of the regional title, North Eastern, and depicts a modern diesel locomotive both in the main illustration as well as the banner. Hull was, at the time, still a major railway centre given the trade passing through the docks although a decline, both in general activity as well as due to road haulage competition, would in time see a massive contraction in rail infrastructure here.
A fine, 'glossy', brochure giving details of the then extensive freight services British Railways offered and that details whom to contact, train services and times of dedicated freight express trains, sea routes, special wagons, door to door containers and the various 'other' ways British Railways could help the industrialist. At the time fright was a hugely important component of BR's business althoughthe nature of the trade was causing the railways some serious issues; the plethora of different services and requirements often led to serious overcapacity and loss making services and over the next decade British Railways would serious reorganise the freight side of the business, as they did the passenger side, to trim the 'offer' and move towards more reliable, frequent and bulk carriage of materials and producrs.
The cover is a fine rendition o a 'new' diesel locomotive (seeing off steam) and is by "Blake"; most likely F. Donald Blake. The artist's work can be seen on other commercial items such as petrol company maps and travel brochures. It is interesting that the BR 'totem' symbol and the once standard use of Gill Sans typeface is not seen here; a sign of the tentative moves that would lead to the new British Rail 'look' of 1964/65.

An interesting booklet, from November 1961, listing the various containers available for use on British Railways and showing the transhipment methods available. British Railways were increasingly keen to see use of containerisation in place of the decades old 'loose' freight whose often small and bespoke handling and transportation was probably helping to drive the losses the railway made on many freight journeys. The Beeching era, about to start, would not just see massive reorganisation of passenger services and rolling stock but would also see an equal focus on freight services and a move towards profitable bulk heavy haulage and container shipments.
Many of the photographs in the brochure are of interest and several are scored through with "No longer in use" showing the on-going rationalisation of rolling stock and services.

Seaboard Air Line Railway 2-8+8-2 Mallet Compound Articulated, Class A, Steam Locomotive # 515, built by Richmond Locomotive Works (Alco) 1918. Sixteen of these Class "A" locomotives # 500-515 were purchased by the SAL for the heavy freight traffic requirements of WWI. These locomotives performed the job required of them hauling the high quantity and heavy freight trains on the mainlines in the divisions containing the steepest grades, but were not need after the War ended. The locomotives were just to large for the SAL and it's light track used on secondary mainlines, branches, spurs, house tracks, sidings etc. In 1920, all sixteen of the locomotives were sold to the B&O.

I guess it is true that you can literally haul anything by rail. I don't remember seeing a PalTank container before, but the words “alcoholic beverages” caiught my attention while trackside on Novwemer 21, 2019. PalTank is an English cmpany former in 2002. They own more than 1800 ISO tanks such as this one that can be hauled by rail, truck or ship. (Plane, too, probably) meaning it is by definition intermodal. According to their website, a lot of what they haul is wine from France to over 85 countries. This tank was on a train heading toward the port in Charleston, South Carolina.

Many of the photographs in the brochure are of interest and several are scored through with "No longer in use" showing the on-going rationalisation of rolling stock and services. As well as a ship, loaded with containers for either Continental, Irish or Channel Islands trade, containers with special fittings are shown. These are B Type containers fitted out for the carriage of two tiers of motor scooters and a BK Type container for the conveyance of bread.
Atlantic Coast Line 4-6-0, Tenwheeler or Copper Head, Class K, Steam Locomotive # 326, built by Richmond Locomotive & Machine Works. The Class K steam locomotives that were numbered in the 300 series were assigned to freight train service. These locomotives were used through out the ACL system. This photo was taken shortly after the locomotive was constructed. In my opinion this class of locomotive is quite handsome. Courtesy of the Chester Holley Photo Collection.

Seaboard Coast Line station located in Plymouth, Florida, 1970's. This concrete block and stucco depot is the successor to the old wooden TO&G depot. This rail line originally served the Tavares, Orlando, and Atlantic Railroad; Seaboard Air Line; Seaboard Coast Line; CSX Transportation; and the Florida Central Railroad. The depot now serves as the headquarters of the Florida Central Railroad, which is owned by Pinsley Railroads, based in Massachusetts. The Florida Central Railroad (reporting mark FCEN) is one of several short line railroads run by the Pinsly Railroad Company. Its only interchange point is with CSX in downtown Orlando, Florida; it has trackage rights from there south to Taft Yard.

Many of the photographs in the brochure are of interest and several are scored through with "No longer in use" showing the on-going rationalisation of rolling stock and services. These pages show insulated and ventilated types of container; the Highly-Insulated Type AF container, the Insulated Type FM and the Ventilated Type BM container. The fomers types were for refrigerated or cooled goods transport and the latter for that of meat.
