My daughter used to live in the backyard cottage of people who own this gorgeous German Shepherd, Luca. She is now living somewhere else, but we both still miss dear Luca. Such a magnificent and very sweet dog.

No.7029 Clun Castle leads, with No.46233 Duchess of Sutherland bringing up the rear.

Metra 144 leads outbound Union Pacific West Line Train 25, with homebound suburbanites aboard, through wintry Wheaton, Illinois.

AVR 4001 leads a short 9 car train down the ex-B&O on a sunny December day. Built in 1910, the former Experimental Mine of the U.S. Bureau of Mines makes for a nice photo prop along the route. The building is now part of a larger facility for the National Energy Technology Laboratory.

If the path is beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.

D&RGW #5399 leads an eastbound out of the south portal of Tennessee Pass tunnel, and is about to roll more or less downhill for the next 100 plus miles. Meanwhile, #3101 waits in the hole with a westbound it has dragged up to here, but will also soon roll downhill once thru the tunnel to at least as far as Minturn. From there west, the #3101 will have plenty of rugged terrain to still cover before destinations are reached. This location just south of the tunnel was a really fun, scenic and isolated place to just watch the action go down on the Grande.

Central Midland Railway HLCX 1521 leads three cars West past the bluff East of Labadie which strangely has an odd looking cave dug into it. I'm rather curious of how or why that cave came about, but I'm assuming it might have something to do with the pipeline property behind the cliff. Anyhow, trying to find an open spot along the steep ground leading up to the cliff's edge proved challenging but I was able to cling onto a tree right on the edge here to get enough of a view through all the brush. I'm glad I even got some red leaves in what is otherwise an area of sparse fall colors at best and an otherwise clear view of train and bluff. Who knows, maybe Bigfoot usually sits on the ledge of the cave watching the trains go by on his Missouri vacations.. Labadie, MO

MRL #4315 leads the eastbound "ML" passing the searchlights at East Lombard, MT in Lombard Canyon. In the distance, the bridge that carried the former Milwaukee Road's Pacific Extension across the Missouri river still stands as a testament to the efforts Milwaukee went to in their quest to reach the Pacific ocean. Unfortunately I'm about 50 years to late for an over/under of trains on both lines so I had to make due with what I had.

OHCR 4218 leads a short train from Brewster south through the small town of Baltic, Ohio, on June 14, 2022. The 4218 was traded to LTEX among other units as part of a deal to receive rebuilt NS GP38-2's. As far as I know, 4218 has sat rusting in the same spot at Larry's for almost three years now.

BNSF 720 leads a loaded CP ethanol through the flooded Mississippi River in downtown Davenport, IA.

Since the water is higher than 3" above the top of the rail, the lead locomotives are isolated and the train is pushed through the high water. Once the engines are clear of the water, the traction motor blowers will be run for 10 minutes. The lead engines pull the rest of the train through and the blown down procedure is repeated for the DPU.

43124 leads 1a81, the 0741 Penzance to Paddington while descending Dainton Bank south of Newton Abbot. Aggregate Industries’ Stoneycombe Quarry, which extracts limestone is visible to the left.

SD40-2 #6819 leads BN train #48 under the Iris Street rainbow bridge on May 31, 1995. This train was a late evening/early morning departure out of Midway in St. Paul, and could hit the C&I in Savanna sometime around dawn.

The Iris Street bridge is now long gone. But, intermodals (now Z trains) still fly across the hogbacks of the C&I in northern Illinois.

This would have been the last rainbow bridge westbound on both the C&I and the Peavine. I think the only open one left on the C&I is Columbian Road west of Oregon. They all disappeared within a 5-10 year period.

66591 Leads three more class 66's out of Midland Road depot in Leeds. I was actually here in the hope I would see a Colas class 70 on cement wagons that I saw about half an hour earlier but they never came, I left when it started getting dark.

MNR 6406 leads New Brunswick Southern Railway train 907 through Welsford, New Brunswick. Trailing are another two SD70M-2s, EMR 6403 and NBSR 6401. This is the first time I’ve been able to nab a trio of the new engines together on one train. Also cool is that one engine is from each of the three railways owned by Irving (Maine Northern, Eastern Maine and New Brunswick Southern). January 8, 2022.

NBSR 6319 leads a green trio of power as they negotiate the terrain of the McAdam Sub with New Brunswick Southern Railway westbound train 907, approaching Cork, NB.

Shot at 600mm with my Sigma 150-600mm lens.

This is kind of a different vantage point of the shot that I posted a few weeks ago, with the train being at the top of the dip this time.

DL #3007 leads PO75 westbound back to Scranton in some light snow from the night before. They are seen coming around the curve at Cobbs Gap here.

IC 6251 leads R922 up the grade at Proctor hill in some killer evening light. I was at the A&W in Superior when my friend messaged me that 6251 was leading a train off the docks, I had more food coming but I ran up to the cashier, paid and bolted out. Once I got to the bridge I made it with seconds to spare as I could already hear the EMD rumble.

New Christian Song 2018 "The Incarnate God Leads Mankind Into a New Era"

I

The incarnate God, He brings to an end the age when only Jehovah's back was seen. He also concludes the age of belief when in vagueness God was perceived. The work of the last incarnate God brings man to a more practical age. The work He does brings all mankind to a more pleasant and realistic time. He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh, instead of God's Spirit alone.

II

He not only ends the age of law and doctrine, He shows man a God who is real, a God who is normal, righteous and holy, who unlocks the management plan, who demonstrates the mysteries, the destination of mankind, who made man and ends the management work, who has been hidden for thousands of years. He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh. Oh, He ends the age of vagueness, He concludes the age when man wished to seek God's face but was unable to back then. He ends man's service to Satan, to a new age man is led. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh. All this is achieved by the work of God in the flesh, instead of God's Spirit alone.

CP 4715 leads a bunch of smaller MLW products and an awful looking blue EMD leaser on train 556 at Emmons, NY on August 22, 1992. This would have been one of my best scores of the CP era on the old D&H, but that blue leaser just messes up what is an otherwise awesome set of power.

A two kilometer return walk leads you to the base of the cascading Kepple Falls, Marysville.

I was a tiny bit disappointed with my images as there were so many logs and wood in the water, it was difficult to get a good composition. I also had to perch precariously in the water on the available rocks. I used my Lee stopper 6 stops to get a slow enough speed.

Regardless, it was a beautiful hour spent in the cool spray of the falls, amongst the green ferns and Aussie bush.

Yes this speaks "Bessemer" as the 902 leads the way at Carter passing the searchlight - June 14, 2014.

BNSF 1104 leads a westbound mixed freight at Bison on the Hi-Line.

4210 leads a westbound Cliffs Erie train away from Cramer Tunnel on the afternoon of October 16, 2008. The clean up trains of 2008 were almost finished here as they cleared out the remaining ore and even some limestone from the Taconite Harbor dock. Twelve days later the 4210 and friends would arrive Hoyt Lakes for the last time with the last train.

The dreary, late fall weather seems fitting in retrospect for my last CE sighting. On this day, some stubborn leaves cling although their end is near. Same could be said for the A-B-B-B-A set of F9s that hung on for over 7 years even after the LTV plant closed. But all good things come to an end. This shot 10 years and one day ago would be the last time I would shoot the Cliffs Erie and the F units on home rails.

At least the trailing F9 and one of the B-units survive at the LSRM. The leader lives looks great in Indiana on the Vermillion Valley. The Cliffs Erie tracks remain quiet except the far west end that is sometimes used for car storage.

56078 leads the 6Z88 Drigg - Port of Workington pass Nethertown. 56113 was on the rear. 27 March 2023.

GMTX 3050 leads NBSR train 907 as they head through the town of Grand Bay, New Brunswick. The Fall colours started a week or two early this year, but most are still managing to hang on for now. Oct 20, 2020.

SP 7851 leads a northbound at Valley Jct. in Sauget, IL on Union Pacific's Chester Sub. This Southern Pacific train, which consisted of a little bit of everything (intermodal, auto-racks, manifest), is operating on trackage rights that historically gave Cotton Belt/SSW access to the St. Louis market via the Missouri Pacific. In 1994 it was SP operating over UP. Today, of course, it's all UP. 7851 has just passed a classic MP-era cantilever signal bridge that I believe still stands today.

Rail Operations Group (ROG) 37608 'Andromeda' leads a failed Greater Anglia Stadler 'FLIRT' 755414 past Waterbeach, 5K11 1200 from Cambridge L.H.S. to Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D.

The ROG Thunderbird contract for Greater Anglia is planned to run out in the next couple of days - is this the last hurrah for 37608, or will the contract be extended?

CP 7053 leads train 234 through Guelph Junction with heritage unit CP 7019 also assisting.

Knowing that this train would be coming East I decided to get up at the crack of dawn and head for the Galt and see if my luck was there. I'd say good gamble.

CP used to be a railway that I avoided like the plague, but these days they are exciting to me again and these ACU's are certainly driving that!

BNSF 1832 leads one of the Superior-region locals around the curves in the State Line vicinity, just over on the Minnesota side. The pipeline crossing offers an open gap to grab evening light. I want to say this is the Kelly Lake Local. I was wrapping up a hike near Jay Cooke and heard a train approaching. After seeing this was the power, I decided to rush to State Line where things looked sunny. Viola!

GP40 leads a manifest at Park Junction in 1987. The squiggly track to the left is what Amtrak negotiated each day. They changed the track but even so, now Amtrak mostly comes down the Midway sub.

43040 leads 2C27 14.18 Plymouth - Penzance across the Royal Albert Bridge and into Saltash station on 25 May 2023. 43153 is the rear power car. Pole shot.

867 leads a pack of motors on a NB empty train as the fog lifts over the Allegheny.

66426 leads 66423 round the Low Hutton cuves alongside the Yorkshire Derwentr returning to York with a Saterday VSTP Scarborough line railhead treatment train, November the 20th 2021. Train 3Z51, 10:00 York Thrall - Scarborough, York Holgate. Then 3Z52, York Holgate 12:55 to Hatfield and Stainforth via Knottingley and return to Thrall.

Amtrak 160 leads Empire Builder #8 through Elk River running about 2 hours late. Shooting fast trains has been my weakness while operating the pole via the remote live shooting mode on the Canon Connect app. I hit the shutter too early and had to crop the photo a ton to have an acceptable frame. Pretty grainy but nice to see elevation from here after shooting from the ground at this spot for years.
