A Pacman SD40-2 leads an AC4400 along Buchanan Ave in GR as X500 works its way east out of town for Detroit and ultimately Toronto. Even in 2009, it was rare to see anything on X500 other than a GE product.

NKP 765 leads the Sunday afternoon leg of the Joliet Rocket past an excited crowd of both railfans and just curious onlookers on Metra's Rock Island Line, bound for Chicago LaSalle St.
It doesn't matter how old you may be, steam hauled trains will always fill you with joy.
4116 Leads 9N40 Pring to Newlands empty coal train on the Binbee to Briaba section with 4136 Mid train and 4119 'Peter Greenhalgh' pushing up the rear. 21/11/21
CN 3048 leads westbound train 305, as they round the bend just north of Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, at Sisson Ridge. Around the corner was where the last minor derailment happened a few months ago. CN 121 derailed, but the cars remained upright. Vandalism was the reason for that one.

CN 2543 leads X335 north past Hayes with a plethora of power including CN SD60 5467, NS units 2520 and 8329, and PRLX (ex-CSXT) SD70ACes 4847, 4843, 4844, and 4840. The SD70ACes are freshly patched coming from Mayfield, KY.
CSX 7724 leads Q363 west as it splits the former Conrail trilights at QI153, right in the heart of Quincy, OH. The consist in tow was killer, well worth the hour drive to catch it. Consist was:
CSXT C40-8W 7724
CSXT ES40DC 5363
CSXT GP38-2 2810 (YN2)
CSXT SD40-2 8383
CSXT SD40-2 8477
CSXT GP40-2 6927
CSXT RDSLUG(GP30) 2326
BN 7031 leads the afternoon ZCHCSTP past Jackson Street in St. Paul, MN back in March 1999. BNSF was short on power in the late-90s until they got thousands and thousands of GEs, so you would see almost anything on the mainline pulling tonnage. This was the case on this afternoon as the BN SD40-2, a LRCX SF30C (9538), and a renumbered GP9 (BNSF 1605) pull the hot trailers from Chicago to the Twin Cities. All three units were online here as they pull "Old 47" up the hill on the former Great Northern, a few miles from their destination of Midway Yard.
MKT GP40 leads two more MKT units north through New Holstein with train #245 on a nice March 31st 1986 afternoon. By this time the SOO merger has been consummated, but MKT power is still running through like the old times on the Milwaukee.

HNRC class 37s No. 37425 leads the PLPR test train consist with 37607 on the rear both on hire to Colas Rail to help cover for their usage of 37s on the York RHTT circuits, seen here roaring past Thetford working 1Q98 14:21 Cambridge Recp 1&2 to Cambridge Recp 1&2. 10/10/2024.
This was my best shot of the PLPR this week as the Friday’s service would be held for a long time at Ely for some reason meaning all chances of getting the shot I planned were not possible.
UP 1989 leads the MNYPU out of Castle Rock, CO after a brief pause in town (McDonald's, perhaps?).
Regardless of the delay, it seemed like the train was trying to make up time as it used the entire limits of track speed between here and Larkspur.
Despite Colorado's stay at home order, the appearance of the DRGW Heritage Unit brought out the railfans. The Colorado State Patrol didn't seem to mind as they stopped and asked what everyone was doing. Satisfied with the responses they got (from yours truly included), they took on the role of enthused gawkers like the rest of us! Either that or they felt bad for us and our chosen hobby and didn't want to add insult to injury with a $500 ticket. Either way, the chase continued....
Liberty to Explore, where way leads on to way, expands the soul and allows a greater likelihood of success provided the search is tempered by integrity.

Bronze Eagle Sculpture from Vancouver Art Museum at Robson Square Vancouver BC
Symbolism and Power. The eagle is the chief over all the winged creatures. Eagle conveys the powers and messages of the spirit; it is man's connection to the divine because it flies higher than any other bird. If eagle has appeared, it bestows freedom and courage to look ahead.
This is courage that the students at the college need in order to look ahead or always move forward.

CSX 4555 leads intermodal train I044 past Ocala in the summer season rain of Florida.
This trains consist would contain an inspection car sandwiched between the power that was brought down from the previous day's I045. If I had to guess, this would probably be for a track inspection or speed test maybe? I’m not too knowledgeable on that stuff.

IC 2456 leads the way as CN train Q192 rolls slowly into Acheson following behind X348. August 23, 2017.

43285 leads a diverted 1E63 14.27 Plymouth-Leeds through the Avon valley on 10/08/21. Its normal route affected by major engineering work near Bristol Temple Meads.
CR 6674 leads a westbound under the iconic stone bridge that once spanned the Pittsburgh Line at Port Royal, PA. This bridge was removed and replaced with a modern structure a few years back. Note the three tracks still in service, as well as the PT 151 signal masts had yet to be installed.

DRS 37425 leads 3S60 on the return from Harwich and is pictured passing Bradfield.
My camera and lens don't really do this shot justice (those grainy blobs are actually 37s!), but it's one of my favourite locations in Anglia and, as this was the first RHTT of the year, the locos were thankfully still clean, which helps them stand out at this location!
BNSF 4284 leads a Chicago-South Seattle intermodal train as it charges over the Wenatchee River at Dryden, Washington on May 10, 2018.
6358 leads the 214 east through Bolivar on 12/13/16. The snow from earlier in the day had frozen to the trees once the temperature dropped.
Hope everyone has had or is having a great holiday!
IC 6252 leads the quintet south finding Town Line Road and some tasty sun as they whine and drone away out of Fairbanks.
New Haven Railroad DER-1c class ALCO DL-109 diesel electic locomotive # 0709 leads a 3 car suburban passenger train in Providence, Rhode Island, early 1950's. This location may not be Providence but indications are that it is. It appears that there is a heavyweight combine baggage-coach and two general coaches on this train. The season appears to be winter. Check out those interesting power poles with the special wire insulator mountings.

Wheeling 7002 leads 4 other SD40-2's uphill out of Brewster as they start train 221-22 west towards Hartland as the sun sinks in the sky.
One of the newest Juniata rebuilds leads a short local down the former Pullman Company Railroad just south of 115th St. Although there are no more Pullmans to pick up and deliver, this branch sees some decent traffic for NS nowadays. What was once an independent operator, was transferred into the hands of the Rock Island in 1950. During that same decade, while Pullman declined sharply, the building of a Port on Lake Calumet was commencing. The many carriers in the region wanted access, and not be restricted to whatever terms the Rock would throw at them. Lawyers get involved....court cases commence....
Somehow at the end of all of that, enough time passes and the NS becomes the sole operator in the mid-80s. This has mostly remained true between Pullman Jct and the Ice House (roughly 124th St). From that point eastward towards the Port, South Shore Freight operates a couple days a week, manly overnight, to serve an area once fought over with the promise of big business.
CP 7029 leads B38, the Mason City to Savanna train, over the Maquoketa River bridge just a little north of Green Island, Iowa. The Maquoketa River drains a pretty large portion of northeast Iowa at this location, and is only a short distance from it's outlet at the Mississippi River here. This bridge has given the CP plenty of trouble over the years, as debris jams during flooding have caused failures of the older wooden piers and approaches to the bridge. The bridge was rebuilt and partially replaced within the last few years however, and I'm sure the CP hopes they don't have to deal with those issues again for a long, long time!
Is beauty only skin deep? Despite its immaculate 'skin', the front farings of 43006 show its true age as it powers through Lincoln Central in charge of 5L46, the 10.51 stock move from Gascoigne Wood Sidings to Ely Papworth Sidings.

BNSF 1474 leads up today's Superior Northtown train. They had a break in two between West Saunders and Boylston. after getting things back together the conductor got a ride to CTH C wheer he got back on the locomotive and they were on their way to the Twin Cities in White out conditions, there's even an ex SOO SD60 behind the leader. BNSF 1474 has the distinction of being known as the "Great Pumpkin" I'm not sure how that name came to be but it's definitely one of a kind.
Rounding off the day, 37227 leads the 1550 Parkend-Lydney junction, non stop through Whitecroft, after a burst of acceleration
NS 9734 leads a two unit yard transfer from Oakwood to Sterling Heights. Pulling only 3 cars they cross the diamond junction at Delray. The edge of the old tower still standing off the left of the frame. I love how this pan shot turned out, but I decided to give it a little photoshop magic to really bring it to life. While I strive to be authentic on all my images and not tweak them too much, sometimes it's fun to break the rules once in a while.
W43002 'Sir Kenneth Grange' leads 1W29 11.22 Paddington-Great Malvern away from Fladbury on 24/02/18.
On the right is the trackbed of the former 'Bomford Siding' which linked Springhill Farm, part of the Bomford Estate, to Fladbury station & goods yard. Apparently horse drawn wagons loaded with local fruit were tripped to Fladbury station (behind the distant trees on the right) for distribution. The traffic ceased after WWII. Some rails are still visible and the gate in the fenceline where the siding entered the yard survives.

66199 leads through Bessacarr with the 3Z12 Knottingley-Lincoln and return, weed killing train. Apparently this had to be top and tailed so that the driver and MPV operator could be kept apart, 20.4.20.
