CSXT 467 leads 2 other YN2 AC44CW's through the Ryland Lakes Country Club at Ryland, KY. This location is part of the ex L&N mainline, now CC Subdivision between Cincinnati and Corbin, KY. Ryland, in L&N days, was a popular location for company photo shoots of its passenger trains. Today, the ex L&N is slowly fading as the regular through route out of Cincinnati, giving that honor to the LCL via Louisville and Nashville. However, the line will still net a few bulk moves, some locals and a few freights for the foreseeable future.
CN 8024 leads Q116 south past the Kevin Madsen Reflection Pond south of Solon Springs, WI on a sensational summer morning.
This spot was one of our prime objectives for leaving the Twin Cities at 0500 but it seemed that there might not be an eastbound to shoot until this train showed up on ATCS and got through the Twin Ports terminal pretty quickly. It all worked out and there was much rejoicing.
New Haven Railroad EP-3 motor 0360 leads a REA-bagggage & mail express train through Sunnyside Yard in Queens, New York, 5-26-1937. You can see the engineer in the cab of the motor. In this area the train is powered by third rail and you can that the pantographs are down on the motor. The actual Sunnyside Yard is located on the right on a lower level area. Much of this area also has catenary installed. The string of heavyweight cars to the right are most likely PRR equipment.

The Scaligero Castle is a fortress from the Scaliger era, access point to the storical center of Sirmione. It's one of the most complete and well conserved Italy's castles..The massive fortress is totally surrounded by water and has an inner porch which houses a Roman and Medieval lapidary..From the drawbridge, a staircase leads to the walkways above the walls, providing a marvellous view of the harbour that once sheltered the Scaliger fleet..The doors were fitted with a variety of locking systems, including a drawbridge for horses, carriages and pedestrians, a metal grate and, more recently, double hinged doors.

BNSF 6830 leads NS train 31N south on the NS Brooklyn District in Mitchell, IL. after dropping a pair of NS motors and some cars to the Alton & Southern. Seen here splitting the signals near Lenox Tower on its way to the TRRA Yard.
37800 leads 375913 through Bilting with the 5Q57 1713 Ramsgate EMUD - Derby Litchurch Lane stock move for repainting on 10th June 17...expecting this to run via Dover as per the departure path nearly caught me out with a big detour around Kent only falling in back here with a few minutes to spare...!
Leads down to the Water of Leith and Colinton Kirk, Edinburgh. Feel free to view all images of Colinton including the Tunnel Here

It leads to James Street Station in Liverpool and dates back to the original Mersey Railway which connected Birkenhead with Liverpool under the River Mersey. The railway is till in daily use by Merseyrail's Wirral Line. This tunnel is interesting as it slopes all the way down to the underground station after an initial flight of steps. A slightly odd experience going down and a more challenging one walking up! It's been sensitively renovated by the Liverpool City Region's transport committee Merseytravel in recent times. www.merseyrail.org/news/sparkling-enhancements-for-james-...
325007 leads the afternoon Willesden - Sheildmuir parcels n evening sun near Atherstone. There is an odd appearance in the shadows of the gantries, with the sun right behind me the near two point in opposite directions.
43238 leads 1D13 12.03 London Kings Cross - Leeds, the power car now in NRM 40 years 1975 - 2015 vinyls complete with covered nameplate.
It has been reported the loco is due to be named at York on 23/09/15.

One roads leads to two and suddenly there is a junction for traffic and the scope for decision, revision and division til contemplation arrives at cognition and transmigration induced by transmutation, we can somewhat transmogrified continue our transportation.
The metamorphosis that awaits at the cross roads, or the junction of ways gives us a chance to look at the roads not chosen as different fates, or potential we have the chance to transmogrify into the pupa and to transfigure through the imago and transmute into the butterfly that flutters down the right road, or the best road, or the only road beating our wind evoking wings as we proceed and progress in due procession to our ultimate goal.
The Chthonic Hekate is underwhelmed in the underworld by the sparkle of the above and the dark intentions from below that make some of the sparkle. She knows the outcome of each of the ways ways available to us. She might like to be acknowledged, but that does not mean that she will share her knowledge, unfortunately she is happy to leave us in self-knowledge that is mis-knowledge. The Triple Form of Hekate is full within the three phases and yet there is also a Forth Form. Her light in the darkness includes sparking, lighting, spluttering and also none igniting. Her symbol of three Moon in reflected illumination is also a symbol brightly obscuring her other form within the Dark, or New Moon. She is happy in the dark with her unilluminated vision and her brightness in the Full Moon also knows the New Moon visible on the horizon for just a few moments. Called for and sought at the Trivia Three Ways and crossroads also asked for and answered within the home where all junctions are started and ended and where insight and protection are often most required. From the ignition of Fresh Flame to Full Light through Dying Embers and within Extinguished Ashes she is never absent always available if you call on her without subconscious desire, rather with intent to take her hand with resolve to lead you on towards where you aspire.

The lonely highway that leads from the town of Winslow, Arizona, on I-40 north to the three mesas of the Hopi Reservation is largely flat and unremarkable. Hidden away just off the road is a gem of a scenic overlook named Little Painted Desert. As the short road reaches the rim, the full beauty of this unbelievable land opens up. To the south the land flattens out as it falls toward Homolovi State Park. To the west and north, the multi-colored hills rise and undulate in mesmerizing folds. At the rim the cliffs are red and orange and the mesas of the Hopi land peek out above them. This is a particularly great spot at sunrise and sunset, when the warm light brings out the reds, greens and browns of the landscape and the texture of the hills stands out sharply.

06/03/2020 90019 'Multi Modal Leads Ex-LNER 82231 & 90036 'Driver Jack Mills' on 3K83 Blackpool North - Crewe Carriage Sidings L&NWR seen here passing through Kirkham, where it was scheduled to stop, however it passed through at speed. These trains were run in prepration for the new services to be operated by Grand Central which was due to start in the May timetable change to London Euston, unfortunately due to COVID-19 pandemic being declared only a couple of weeks later these services never came to fruition and were subsequently knocked on the head. A real shame as the sight of 90's on Loco Hauled stock on the West Coast Mainline would've been a welcome return.
BNSF 8238 leads an eastbound intermodal at Verona. Here's what happened: Me and my friend walked over here to get the eastbound shot when they yelled at us to get away from the tracks and all that. We tried to stay as far away from the tracks as possible and we weren't sure if it was trespassing, so when the maintainers told us to leave that spot we did. Then not long after when we stand at the crossing on a PUBLIC sidewalk behind the gate line, that maintainer closest to the camera told us that we were trespassing and that taking pictures of trains is illegal for "security reasons." He proceeded to rudely tell us to put our cameras down and leave and that BNSF police and Grundy County Sheriff have been contacted. We left, but we didn't go down without getting revenge. We called BNSF police and talked to an officer about what happened, and we were told that the maintainer was completely in the wrong and that we have every right to be there. After the phone call he said he would call off Grundy County Sheriff and have a word with the maintainer in question. I didn't care if we didn't catch anything else good after that, we got our revenge on one of the biggest assholes I've ever met. 3/14/16
BN 8126 leads a trio of BN units somewhere in what I expect is Minnesota. Looks like this was May of 92 based on a bunch of other more easily identified shots but its exact location is unknown. If anyone can help let me know and I will add to my scan notes. 5.92
CN 8833 leads stacker train Q120, as they pass by Fort Lawrence. Seen here, going away, approaching the TCH and Amherst, Nova Scotia. After I took my previous photo, I turned around and just starting shooting some going away shots. I normally don't do much with them, but I like how this turned out, so I'm keeping it.

37510 leads the funeral cortege of 91125 + 91115 "Blaydon Races + 91112 as they are dragged through Duffield as the 7Q78 0840 Doncaster Belmont Down Yard - Newport Docks Simsgroup scrap loco move on 3rd Feb 23.....it seems not even the nameplate is worth recovering
L265 leads a pair of 22 Class upgrade through Jannali Station with loaded Manildra Group flour train 8982 from Manildra to Bomaderry. From memory this was the second or third last Manildra to Bomaderry hauled by ARG prior to Pacific National taking over the contract.
This is a re-upload of an older photo which was poorly cropped and post processed. It was not the planned composition, as a second after this frame was fired, an up Tangara slid into platform one and blocked the shot. Full disclosure, I've removed a distracting overhead support (not actually attached to anything) from the top left corner of the shot.
Penn Central ex Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 # 4877 leads a westbound passenger train on a platform track past tower SS71 and through Devon Junction, Connecticut, 1969. It appears that some MOW work is being performed to the right. The two main line tracks that turnout to the left head to Derby Junction with a connection to the Maybrook line and then up to Waterbury. The front train line is leaking some water vapor from the steam line. This train is Penn Job and will head to Pennsylvania Station in New York City. This photo came from my collection of negative scans. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

ACN4171 leads 2764 empty Karara iron ore back to Narngulu East after unloading at Geraldton Port seen at Arthur Road, Narngulu on 24 July 2023. Photo: Phil Melling.
Clinchfield 800 leads CSX Train P901 past Dante Yard with the 75th Annual Santa Train after a stop on the CSX Kingsport Sub. The CRR has been hit hard the past few years by the economy. Some of these coal hoppers are in service, but many of them have sat here long enough for kudzu to creep up on them.
The special power this year is made up of a pair from Ed Bowers' Vintage Locomotives, Inc. fleet: VLIX 800 and VLIX 2024. #800 is an EMD F3A built new in December 1948, later rebuilt to F7A specifications in 1957, and served Family Lines, Seaboard, and CSX before going into private ownership, and later C&O Paint. The CSX Huntington, WV Locomotive Shop returned the engine to as-delivered appearance for the event.
Behind the F-Unit is an SCL 2024 dressed up for the event as the next in sequence EMD SD45 the Clinchfield would have acquired when they swapped 7 U36C's to the Seaboard Coast Line for a like number of SD45's in 1977, and left them in this interim, almost hybrid paint scheme.
Locomotives: CRR 800, CRR 3632, CSXT 9992, 9999

CN 2245 leads a Manifest Train on the CN Freeport Subdivision was cleared to go at the 16th Street Diamond and 21st Street Diamond
82208 leads down the single track at Loversall Car Jct with the 5A25 Leeds-Bounds Green ecs. The line comes round from Down Decoy and past the closed RMT. 19.6.17.
43160 leads 1C82 14:34 Taunton to Paignton past Hollicombe on Sunday 12th June 2022. 43097 on the rear. The Castle set was standing in for the booked IET due to a shortage of train crew
Conrail 2708 leads an Eastbound at East Conway in Baden, PA on November 7, 1992. It was rare by 1992 to find a U23B in service on Conrail. When there was a need for power Conrail would activate some of their stored U23B's and GP35's and use them mostly in local service. This was probably either WIMJ or HNPI, trains that originated within 40 miles of Conway.
a NS #9609 leads Amtrak out of Roanoke around 7 in the Moring. This train really caught me off guard when i caught it. I had woke up at 6 that morning and saw the crew getting ready. I didn't know if the NS was towing or actually pulling it. The crew told me they were getting ready to leave and i got in my spot and chased it for as long as I could. Something you don't see everyday for sure.
GP30 #1256 leads seven other locos on a detouring Santa Fe eastbound in February of 1969 as it passes through City of Industry, California. The eight unit consist includes three more GP30's, a GP35, two SD24's and a single RSD15 "Gator". The train is detouring over Union Pacific rails between Commerce and Riverside in southern California as flooding from days of heavy rain has caused washouts on both the Second and Third Districts of Santa Fe. Several trains were detoured over a couple of days but this was the only one I managed to catch to photograph. Others I witnessed from my nearby high school.
BNSF 8069 leads a trio of EMDs (to include a former SOO SD60) west through Fargo, ND with the M-NTWGFD (Northtown, MN - Grand Forks, ND).
This was a good day trackside. I also caught the other 'M' train bound for Grand Forks, the M-DILGFD with a nice Bluebonnet leader:

The 'M' trains usually ran with nice power, but it wouldn't be too long into the future when the widecabs would dominate. I was short-timing it here as I only had about 3 months left in the northern plains before moving to Colorado for my next assignment. I think I left at about the right time when it came to the power situation...
ROG's 37601 'Perseus' leads 334017 and 57305 south past Muirhouse South Jn en route from Shields T.M.D. to Brodie Engineering in Kilmarnock - running as 5Q08.
The Class 334 had been involved in a collision with cattle in early May 2018 and sustained damage to the bodywork and some mechanical/electrical components. It was moved to Polmadie on 11/06/2018 for assessment by Alstom (& other parties no doubt) and has remained there since then. It was released to Shields depot today before being moved to Brodie Engineering for repairs.
The line to the right of the convoy leads to Larkfield Jn where it joins the West Coast Main Line. The electrified line just off to the left leads to Pollokshields West on the Cathcart Circle.
Seen in the background is the roof of the Glasgow Gurdwara and the chimney located in The Hidden Gardens at The Tramway - just round the corner from Pollokshields East.
