Crazy Tuesday - theme of June 7, 2022: Fruit and Vegetables
Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists - so this is killing two birds with one stone ( so to speak ... no harm done to birds by taking this image ... but maybe to those yummy tomatoes afterwards : ))
I will catch up in the evening !
At Binghamton, NY, three NYS&W Alco C430's shove hard against 10, 000 tons of train from their yard and onto the Conrail Southern Tier line. This was one of the first so-called "Haulage Trains" that ran between Binghamton, NY and Passaic Jct, NJ that had NYS&W power and freight, but with Conrail crews running them. They were a sight to behold if you were lucky enough to catch one. They only ran once they got a large enough amount of freight, and it could happen on any day at any time.
With 14,000 Alco 251 horsepower up front, a trouble-plagued Susquehanna haulage train rolls to a stop at Deposit, New York. The late-afternoon shadows are quickly approaching the railhead.
Finally have the chassis and mudguards painted, original type 5th wheel mounted - just need to paint 5th wheel mounting cradle.
In the days when loco haulage could still be enjoyed on a number of Lausanne S-Bahn services, SBB Class Re 4/4" 11319 was recorded passing Ependes in September 2009 with the Table 210 08:55 Lausanne to Yverdon-les-Bains [S11 12824] service.

A westbound Susquehanna haulage train begins the climb to Gulf Summit from Deposit, New York. Deposit was a helper base for this grade into early Conrail days. I don’t know why the Conrail C36-7/C30-7A combo is ahead of the NYSW power, which includes three C430’s, a C420, and a CF7 still painted for the Santa Fe.

"There is a CP 8111 somewhere in Topeka that just got GTBs" is what a text I received in the morning read. A few hours later, I was driving over Kansas Ave. when I saw a headlight pulling out of the yard. A few minutes later, said headlight turned out to be that of the aforementioned 8111!
Sure enough, it was paired up with the KCS 4852, and it was one of the "chicken trains" that have been running to/from the Cargill elevator via UP Haulage Rights for years. Now, following the merger, these have transferred over to the CPKC, as evidenced by the consist here.

The view from Liverpool Lime Street station up towards Edge Hill station shows the incline,
As built this line utilized rope haulage, and today, in a manner of speaking, it still does, the wire rope still provides the energy to lift trains up the incline, the difference being that the wire rope conducts electricity today.
The two holds significance, as this was P3 prior to remodeling of the station, they extended platforms to increase capacity, and..... removed a platform ?. from what i am lead to believe the original P1 is to be utilized for retail usage, then re opened as P0....
The sceptic in me thinks all this work has been done, not for passengers but for money....
Although the argument would be that, passengers can take advantage of the retail outlets on offer....
This raises more questions however,
Firstly i should say that i'm no retail marketing analyst, but....
This side of the station is predominantly Northern Rail in it's operations, along with the Newcastle and Scarborough Trans Pennine services.
It is auto ticket barrier accessed, and most of the services are relatively short haul and commuter focused...
The other side of the station operates Virgin West Coast, LNW and East Midland services and is open access...
I would have thought that these travelers would be more likely to spend prior to making a journey,
Whilst people on the other side, going to Blackpool or Scarborough are more likely to save their cash to spend at their destinations. that is my logic anyhow,
Along with all of this, the Northern side being auto ticket barrier controlled, says a little about Northern's determination to remove train crew, whilst the other side being open access may be saying something about the need for train crew on longer distance journey's.... Or more customer focused operators ! any how you catch my drift i hope..

The staple diet of RhB EMU Regio services on the R16 Chur-Arosa line has been 'interupted' by the use of two locomotives and push-pull formation diagrams during the summer of 2025. In this view taken in early September, Class Ge 4/4'' 612 eases into platform 2, where a good number of waiting passengers for the 12:08 departure had gathered.
