The track leads through the sacred Tōpuni area of the Hooker Valley, which has special significance and values to Ngāi Tahu iwi, towards Aoraki/Mount Cook.
From the first of three swing bridges along the way, enjoy the views over the Mueller Lake and listen for the rumbling of avalanches from the distant Mount Sefton. Try to spot them before they crash into the Mueller Glacier below.

... It is covered with dead leaves and I don't know where it leads - I can barely remember whence it comes, indeed. Veils of thick mist are concealing the landscape - if there really is one beyond the narrow limits of my vision - and my mind is wandering freely into this mysterious translucence. Memories come to the surface of my soul and float there like fallen leaves on the calm water of the river. Yes, there should be a river here, just beyond the fading trees - but no, there is nothing but a milky nothingness and a deafining silence. The track is waiting for my weary steps, with its promises of unknown lands. My only certainty is the feeling of the damp ground under my boots - there still is a center, after all. The track is waiting for me - it is calling for me to leave my footprints upon it, a new chapter of the tale.
Maybe the track ends just there, and the glowing mist marks the outer boundaries of the world - maybe there is nothing beyond that misty walls.
Then, suddenly, a swash shattered the deep silence - a moorhen plunging herself into the water to fish? And a bird's call. I awakened as from a dream. Life was still teeming all around me, just beyond the veils of mist. So I gathered myself together and set forth toward my unknown destination, whatever it would be.

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!
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.
Charger #310 leads the Empire Builder down Short Line Hill.
They took about 2 hours to get from St Cloud to MSP (while I stood for almost an hour on the cold and windy bridge).I can only assume they set out an engine at Midway. A bit frustrating since I usually time this pretty well.

A winding path leads the eye toward a weathered stone crossing—Lincove Bridge—quietly nestled in the folds of Eskdale, Cumbria. The land breathes in deep greens, rising in soft, sweeping slopes that seem to cradle the sky. Low clouds drift heavily above, their muted greys dissolving into the hills as if the earth and sky are in quiet conversation.
The bridge itself feels timeless, its stones worn smooth by countless crossings, a humble link between past and present. Beside it, a restless stream threads through rock and grass, its movement the only sound in an otherwise hushed world. Scattered ruins linger nearby, whispering of lives once lived in this remote stillness.
It’s a place where solitude feels sacred—where every step along the path is less about reaching a destination and more about dissolving into the landscape itself.

Westbound on NS’s Chicago Line just before passing MP CD311, the wannabe war-bonnet BNSF 743 leads NS 31M.
BNSF 9752 leads a Hibatc load past East Chub Lake in Carlton, MN on the morning of Sept. 30, 2017. The SD70Mace is leading 180 loads for Allouez Yard in Superior as they work past the east end of Chub Lake. With the Keetac loads running not too far ahead this ore load would tie down at Vet's Crossing with congestion ahead at Allouez.
GB&W C424 (314) leads the northbound local from Plover over the WCL crossing at Wood Street (WCL depot/operating HQ in background.) This is another view showing the manual interlocking at the "west" (eventually the "north") end of the WC's Stevens Point yard. The dispatcher who controlled it sat in the office on the second floor at the opposite end of that building - known to some as WC's "galactic headquarters" to differentiate the operational HQ from the corporate one in Rosemont, Illinois. If a train departed from the yard (coming at the camera in this view) and encountered a red signal here, often the rulebook four blasts of the whistle would result in a cleared signal at "Stevens Point West", and such clear signal would be acknowledged properly with two short toots. If the DS wasn't occupied with urgent matters at his desk (and he/she often was as things got busier and busier), a turn and wave from the DS through the window confirmed the highball and the crew was on its way to join the fray on the mainline...or, as I often said in the spirit of Jethro Tull's song, "Bungle in the Jungle."

MEC 371 leads POED, after the previous crew sat at Athol Station for almost three hours waiting on a "live recrew". Finally the crew showed up and with the high hood in lead position, the train throttled up on Track 1 and headed west towards East Deerfield. At one time this was a much busier yard than just a parking lot for MOW equipment. Interesting to see six units on this train, the entire consist was; MEC 371, MEC 515, MEC 379, MEC 617, MEC 601, and LTEX 6528.
43055 leads the Midland Pullman set over Whalley Arches with the 07.02 Crewe – Carlisle LSL test run on Tues 11th May 2021.
Note: the light dipped a little just as the train was passing over the viaduct, and the shot has been corrected in PS by a friend who is far more skilled in that department than me.
We find ourselves along the Hudson River at Croton Bay for "Transit Tuesday", where we see a southbound (railroad eastbound) diesel train heading over the causeway. The two FL-9's wear what I think was the best paint scheme ever applied to these units, although I'm sure some will argue the NH scheme was right up there too (and it probably was). The train being pulled by these two units is made up of former SEMTA cars, which were picked up when Michigan gave up on it's operation out of Detroit.
On a cloudy afternoon, Trona 2006 leads a train into Searles. Here the crew will pick up a coal train to return to the plant in Trona.
Taken in April of 2025, in less than a year so much has changed for this railroad. At the time it was known that Trona was looking for replacement power, and later that year they would lease two SD60s and an SD60M from UP. The addition of SD60s to the roster would see the former UP SD40s getting scrapped. Around the same time, the lead motor in this photo would get sold to a leasing company, though it is currently still at the railroad's shops being repaired. While it certainly seemed like the replacements were coming soon for the rest of the roster, or so one would think, a completely unexpected turn happened.
As a lot of you may already know, rumor has been recently going around Trona will be ceasing operations in the coming months. With global competition and other economic challenges, such as government regulations, both soda ash and boric acid production at Searles Valley Minerals has become much more expensive. With energy costs being around half of the cost of production for the company, and rising prices, SVM has to permanently lay off hundreds of employees. To my understanding, the main plant employs about 540 people, 300 or more will be laid off. With this also comes a huge cut in production, and in an announcement it was stated this would cause the shutdown of Trona and the Argus Cogeneration Plant. Unfortunately, it seems there is really no way out for Searles Valley Minerals, and unfortunately this might be the nail in the coffin for the town. With most of Trona already being a ghost town, and the company being in this state, I can only pray for the best for the residents.
You need to wait the next photo in line.

An SD70MACe leads CSX G769 as it heads south on the CC Subdivision with grain loads from Michigan bound for North Carolina. As the train rolls through Ryland, Kentucky, it splits the L&N searchlight signals at the Ryland control point, which was once the location of a crossover on the double track between Spring Lake and Visalia.

PN013 leads 82P5, a Townsville bound Pacific National freight train, along Denison Street, Rockhampton.
Queensland's North Coast railway line includes this section of 2 kilometres of street running which sees 28 train movements a day, including the Spirit of Queensland Tilt Train and various freight trains. Train speeds are restricted to a leisurely 25 km/h along the section.

KCS 5012 leads the southbound MKCVN towards Valley Jct in East St. Louis, IL, seen here along Monsanto Ave with the Gateway Arch in the background. I somehow don't have too many good shots with trains and the arch, so I felt this was necessary to do, even with the power being pretty standard.
This picturesque street in Stralsund leads towards the impressive St. Nicholas’ Church (Nikolaikirche), one of the city’s most important medieval landmarks.
Its two distinctive towers rise above the colourful historic houses and cobbled street of the old Hanseatic city.
The brick Gothic architecture reflects Stralsund’s wealth and importance during the era of the Hanseatic League.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deze schilderachtige straat in Stralsund leidt naar de indrukwekkende Sint-Nicolaaskerk (Nikolaikirche), een van de belangrijkste middeleeuwse monumenten van de stad.
De twee karakteristieke torens steken hoog uit boven de kleurrijke historische huizen en de geplaveide straat van de oude Hanzestad.
De baksteengotische architectuur weerspiegelt de rijkdom en het belang van Stralsund in de tijd van de Hanze.
UP 1983 leads leads a M CYDVX 09 (Cheyenne to Denver manifest) through the Greeley subdivision's namesake town. With a 15:30 call out of Cheyenne, hopes were high for an evening chase into Denver. Unfortunately, there were 5 southbounds, 1 northbound, and 2 locals that caused this train to make it less than 50 miles in 6 hours. Here the train is seen pulling out of Greeley siding after waiting for a grain train to run around it roughly 45 minutes after sunset.
NS 8103 leads 21N on a muggy early summer afternoon. Here we see 21N arriving upon its final destination of Rickenbacker Yard on the south side of Columbus, Ohio. This edition of 21N reached just over 2.5 miles long making it an interesting task yarding the train. During the process of pulling two and half miles passed the yard, just to get the bottom of the train on an available track, two north-bounds and a southbound were held up on the main while 21N was put away.
Maritime Blue GB Railfreight (GBRF) 66727 'Maritime One' leads the 4L20 1307 Hams Hall Gbrf to Felixstowe South Gbrf loaded intermodal past Ely.

Curved dirt road leads through grassy terrain to a wooden church on a hill in Kizhi, Karelia, Russia. The church features traditional Russian architecture with onion domes. A small wooden shelter stands beside the road. Vegetation flanks the road, and the sky above is partly cloudy, suggesting a serene summer setting in June 2019. Kizhi is renowned for its historical wooden structures and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
