In the summer of 2003, Crawford Hill on BNSF’s Butte Subdivision out of Alliance, Nebraska, featured at least three sets of Cascade green three-window EMD SD60M helper sets, mostly equipped with a fuel tender. On July 22, 2003, a trio of these former BN EMDs rolls downgrade at Breezy Point just west of Belmont, heading back to Crawford after pushing a BNSF coal train over the grade.
Power from T801 returns to their train after assisting K429 up Duff Mountain. Their train was spotted just around the corner here at Holton just past the southbound signal and will receive a single unit helper for their turn up the mountain.
Help! This year is running much too fast! It has only just begun and six days are already over! Slow down year!
Hilfe! Dieses Jahr ist einfach zu schnell! Jetzt hat's doch erst gerade angefangen und schon ist es sechs Tage alt! Brems doch, du Jahr, du!
The establishment is owned by Mr. JD Russel, a distinguished gentleman with rugged good looks and dark hair. It was rumored that he had once stood alongside the President during the famed charge up San Juan Hill, a tale that added to his allure. Whenever he was not engaged in assisting patrons, he took pleasure in offering a complimentary piece of hard candy from his extensive display.
This day, as I approached the entrance, he could be seen diligently sweeping the walkway. Upon noticing my presence, his face brightened with a warm and cordial smile as he stepped forward to hold the door open. “Good afternoon, Miss MacKenna. A truly splendid day, is it not?” he inquired graciously. I responded with a smile, expressed my thanks, and offered a playful wink. “Indeed, Mr. Russel, it is a most delightful day,” I replied.

My friend, we are not going through a good time, here the relative humidity of the air is very low and there are many fires in the forests (Environmental Protection Area). Criminal fires, very sad...
Meu amigo, não estamos passando por um momento bom, aqui a unidade relativa do ar está baixissima e com muitos focos de incêndio nas florestas (Area de Proteção Ambiental). Incêndios criminosos, muito triste...

The Crawford Helper set returns westbound as seen from Breezy Point. Four SD60M's and a fuel Tender = an experience not to be repeated.

On the soggy marathon drive home from Salt Lake City, I caught the rear-end of a M-HELLAU (Helena-Laurel freight, which runs as needed) as it worked its way up Bozeman Pass at Trail Creek Rd. The Helper set on the rear included the SDP40, so a brief detour to shoot them at the west portal of the Bozeman tunnel.

Montana Rail Link helpers cut out of a westbound BNSF freight at Elliston, Montana, on September 17, 2012. A member of the helper crew lines the switch back for the main as the helpers get in the clear, and he will direct the front half of the train back together with the rear portion.

Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.

I've seen a lot of awesome stuff on the MRL, but this takes the cake....
The Laurel to Pasco reported they were having issues east of Lombard and weren't sure they would make Winston Hill. The dispatcher indicated there were no helpers available to run down and no other eastbounds coming and to keep making an effort to get over the hill.
As the Helena Local was finishing their work at Townsend, the dispatcher gave them the news they would be holding at Townsend for a westbound and would follow them up the hill. This gave me enough time to go to the Townsend campground to set up my tent.
Sure enough, as the Laurel to Pasco made an attempt at the hill, they slowed to a crawl and eventually required the MRL 355 and 109 approach and start to shove. Even with the extra power, the train still struggled up the hill. Eventually a "thank you" over the radio acknowledged they made it and were ready to descend into Helena... but not until the dispatcher talked the MRL 355 into the siding behind the Pasco train to meet an empty.
On a side note, the searchlights are being replaced between Logan and Helena Most of the work is done, and it is moving fast. Just a sign of the times, and soon these trains will be BNSF... sigh.
