Well not quite..........
Exeter Central's Dispatcher has just seen off GWR's Sprinter unit 150265 working the 9.55pm to Exeter St Davids (2E57) station, about a half a mile down the hill. The unit had arrived into platform 3 a few minutes earlier from Barnstaple, at which time it became an empty stock working (5E57) as it transferred from platform 3 to platform 2.
With the 9.,55pm terminating at St David's the temptation is to think it will then head for the stabling point for a night's rest. Apparently not - it then becomes the 10.31pm to Exmouth (2F51), so once again passing through Central station.
There's still a couple of hours of work left for the Dispatcher too - the last scheduled train on this day is the late evening Waterloo - Exeter St David's, due off at 11.58pm. With luck it will be 'locked doors' around midnight!

The Ramsey turn is westbound at Benny in May 1988. CP ran this job out of Cartier to collect logs/pulp as far west as Ramsey at the time. Usually a pair of SD40's were what I'd normally see on it but two big MLW's the 4721 and 4505 smoke it up on this day. Normally this job was out of Cartier in the morning which generally made for backlit shooting but on this day he was set back due to a steel gang working west of Benny. This was the fourth and last westbound I shot in about an hour in this general vicinity as they had backed up waiting for the work block to get over. The first three jobs were hot freights led by big SD's so they saved the best for last and the hogger really has the BIGS screaming as the head west hot on the block of the other westbounds. A rescan.
A pair of KCS Geep's along with an Ex-CSXT SD60, now owned by Savage Companies, pass the Standard Seed Co, building as they lead "Run 12", CPKC train YKK12-15, westbound on Main Track 1 of the UP KC Metro Sub near St. Louis Ave. This is the daily transfer from CPKC's Knoche Yard to UP's 18th St. Yard, and today, Quentin Sudlow is working the job. 12/15/24.
The high-seniority crew of the Camden Job works Alliance Steel on the Camden Branch. This humble branch once served as the SOO's connection to Union Station, the Milwaukee Road, and other area railroads. When this photo was taken in 2010, the job ran weekdays out of Humbolt, and often ran with SOO power. Nowadays, the branch is switched every third day with rumors circulating about several key customers relocating or closing.
Conductors from 27E and WOGR hold a job briefing to plan out the moves between trains and swap paperwork.
After waiting for a bit at the former pig ramp until "Run 33" finishes switching at West Wye, CPKC train YKK24-27 eases up the lead alongside the Hansen-Mueller elevator with a gray KCS GP38-2 and several flat cars with a few strings of welded rail. They'll make a brief stop at West Wye Tower for some paperwork before leaving Knoche for Grandview. It's a pretty underwhelming train, but it's cool to see some KCS "battleship gray" again.
This engine started life on the Toledo, Peoria & Western in May of 1977 as the TPW No. 2001. After the "Tip-Up" merged with the Santa Fe, it became ATSF No. 3561, later renumbered to 2370 and even being repainted into the "Kodachrome" paint scheme in the midst of the ill-fated "SPSF" merger. It was repainted again into the "Yellowbonnet" scheme, and eventually sold as the GMTX No. 2370 before KCS picked it up. It was the KCS No. 4029 before being renumbered as the 1921 as a newly delivered SD70ACe took its number. 9/27/25.

Union Pacific's YPV52 yard job rumbles along the original Provo Subdivision main line between Pleasant Grove and American Fork, Utah on Memorial Day, 1993. On the right is US Highway 89, often referred to as "State Street" by the locals. We decided to take the old highway on this day as traffic along parallel I-15 was at a standstill. Catching SW10 No. 1209 was just a happy accident.
The Pickens Railroad Belton Job, which is now running as the Honea Path Job, heads south to service a customer at the south end of the line as it passes the scrap yard in Docheno. 8-7-20

We're using the former Frisco SW1500 today on the KCRR 101 Job as head up the street to spot and pull Dana Container. Here, we're sitting on top of State Line Rd shy of the 9th St crossing as we wait on for the guys at Dana to drop their blue flags. 10/8/25.

My main job was to help clients on this morning, so I set my camera to handle the next hour of light and left it running. It captured 1430 photos over 45 minutes so i could show you this time-lapse video of the spectacle that we witnessed!
Early Sunday morning in St. Paul finds the Minnesota Commercial's Belt Job headed out to do their work with B39-8E #87. While all of the Commercial's Alcos are currently stored, they still field an impressive fleet of vintage GEs.

One still extant piece of industrial trackage in Syracuse is the First Ward line along Hiawatha Boulevard on the city's north side, although the crossing of 7th North Street into the old Crouse-Hinds complex was recently removed. A local crew with a GP35 slug and GP40-2 power unit bring a car around the line on a fall morning in 2015.
The CP GM22 worked up and down on Wash 3 in Muskego Yard many times that day for the yard as they pulled and pushed cars numple times that morning.
It would work on both tracks on a long weekend before the changes in the area of buildings, driveways, and parking would change for most living areas.

The black veining is some type of fungus. I did not know this when I picked up the leaf. The leaf was lying in a sunbeam and just looked beautiful. Manor Estate Stafford 3rd November 2020

Far away from the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota, former Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range SD9 No. 171 leads Columbia Basin's Railway's Connell Job down into Connell, WA and the railroads connection with BNSF. Once part of Northern Pacific's vast system, BNSF operates the NP's mainline while the Columbia Basin operates the former Adrian Branch.
What was normally a night train, the Flat Rock Turn Job that ran down to Diann and would turn south to Toledo and run back is a little bit late and is running in the morning light much to the benefit of the photographer. DT&I 1776, the railroad's bicentennial unit is still wearing the scheme on July 4, 1979, 3 years after the day the unit was painted to celebrate. Making the turn back onto the Flat Rock Sub, the local will make the roughly 23 mile run back to the yard and terminate. Photo by Thomas Seiler, and a special thanks to Thomas for allowing this to be shared, and providing his notes from that day, his information is invaluable.
MNNR 314 and T-2 make a rare appearance on Job 52. Timely reporting by Bob Ball and a "Get off your ass and go shoot that" text message from DK got me out the door on this great fall day.
Alco Adam says the last time this pair was on this line was at least 5 years ago. Here switching Hawkins Chemical the crowded, industrial nature of the line is easy to see.
