Flying along the CP Tomah subdivision with a loaded train of ballast, CP 5936 and 6067 venture west towards Portage where they will pick up a new crew. Besides the highlight of older power being used on these ballast trains, the faded dual flag scheme still looks great on the mainline

A tardy Pan Am Southern intermodal train 22K with four horses blows through the Route 68 crossing and past the mile marker at 355 in Royalston MA on a cold chilly morning. The train still has 20+ miles to go before reaching its final destination in Ayer. Luckily, the predicted clouds have yet to materialize.

A better look at the dioramas we had at the show last weekend. :) Still one more to shoot, just waiting on stickers. Coming from Charleston, SC, so I am not holding my breath on them getting here any time soon.

Pacing along side, Q042 glides past the grainery on the outskirts of Columbus Grove with about a mile of intermodal traffic from the southern states behind a matching pair of CSX ES44DCs.

A year ago the hotshot routinely had three units and in this case four. The GP38-2 is probably a switcher from the Tadanac yard heading out for maintenance.

Union Pacific SD60M 6208 was leading hotshot I-G2LB was blasting off through Elmhurst after a snowfall in the winter of 2001.

 

It was as cold as it looks.

Early on a September evening, Southern Pacific's LABRF rolls along the dry Williamson River near Calimus, Oregon. The Los Angeles to BRooklyn (SE Portland) Forwarder was the hottest train on SP's Oregon Division.

Driving back after Aldeburgh there was some lovely light, this cottage was just off a little byway near Sibton.

And, according to the color in this photograph, it's also 1978.

The hotshot pulls into the wye in Castlegar on Sunday.

CPKC’s new daily northbound intermodal, 181, seems to be seeing mild success, with the train I shot on 5/20 being all of 20 cars long with two KCSM GEVOs on the point

With a Union Pacific motor fourth in line, a Saturday evening hotshot storms west from Higgins, Texas at 6:55 on March 30th, 2024.

Penn Central Mail Train #18 has just passed Hartsdale, Indiana Tower and is about to duck under the former NYC "Egyptian Line" back in the summer of 1972. This was a Chicago-Cincinatti shooter! Two E's, flexi-vans, caboose and full crew. A seniority job fo sure!

 

One of my earliest photographic efforts. Kodak Instamatic, Kodachrome-X and drug store processing. Yeah!!

This image was actually allot darker, I brightened it up a bit and it turned pink. I like it though!

Pentax 6x7, 45mm lens, Ektar 100.

I took this photo after hiking 2.5 miles and 1,200 feet vertically on the trail that was constructed as a tribute to 19 young fire fighters who died tragically near Yarnell, AZ on June 30, 2013. The circle some 500 feet below where I was standing is where a wall of flames traveling at a speed faster than a man can run over took them. I had intended to hike all the way down to the circle, but I was out of time and energy, so this will have to do. A copy of the report of the accident investigation can be viewed at: www.iawfonline.org/WildlandFireAssociatesReportYARNELL.pdf
