New Haven Railroad EP-3 motor 358 leads a headend heavy passenger train past the Sunnyside Yard area in Queens, New York, 1960. This train is operating between New Haven, Connecticut and Pennsylvania Station in New York City. An interesting feature of this motor 358, is that it is painted in the McGinnis paint scheme.

ROG 37611 ‘Pegasus’ leads a single barrier coach which formed the 5M57 0940 Gascoigne Wood Sidings to Derby RTC on the 21st Sept ‘20.
BMEX 259 the first of three Gensets to test on the Union railroad leads a train of fresh slabs from the USSX Edgar Thompson Works to the rolling mills of the USSX Irvin Works. Here the train struggles upgrade towards Bull run crossing as it passes the URR's receiving yard. After demoing on the URR and in the mill at ET the 259 was sent back to Brookville and ended up being sold to the Central California Traction Company.
All three genset's were considered a failure and the Railpower one tested the best out of all three. Eventually all three were sent back after testing at USS's ET works. There was rumors of a fourth Genset from NRE coming out to test but it never did show up. Since I left in 2012 the only other thing that has been tested was a set of GP38-2's that was also considered a failure. Nothing has been able to out pull the MP15's with their great low speed lugging abilities.

I was doing some portraits here and took a little time for this architectural shot.
Flight Leader Captain Ryan J. Bernacchi leads the main four US Navy Blue Angels Boeing F/A-18 Hornets in their close 'overlapping' formation pass during their captivating and dynamic display at the 2017 NAS Jacksonville Airshow
After WWII and under the directions of Admiral Nimitz the Team was formed and in 1946 flew the Grumman F6F Hellcat, followed just a few months later by yet another Grumman type - the F8F Bearcat
By the end of the 1940's they had transitioned to their first jets - again Grumman in the shape of the F9F-2 Panther.
Through the early 1950's they moved up to the F-9F-5 version of the latter before transitioning in 1955 to the swept wing F9F-8 Cougar
With Jet development moving swiftly, in 1957 they took on the rakish looking F11F-1 Tiger before 'muscle' arrived with a break from Grumman taking on the McDonnell-Douglas F-4J Phantom II in 1969
During the mid 70's Oil crisis and with fuel economy at the fore, in 1974 the Team took on the Douglas A-4F Skyhawk II before, just over a decade later, in 1986 they moved to the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet on which the team have just passed their 21st Anniversary flying this formidable front-line service Fighter.
Currently in service not only with the US Navy and Marine Corps but also with the Swiss, Finland and the Royal Canadian Air Force, moves are afoot to re-equip with the newer F/A-18 Super Hornet but whatever they fly, their display is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of these Naval Flyers.
Aircraft No's 5 & 6 also took part in their display with No.7 as the spare.

On a dreary summer day, Milwaukee Road GP20 #971 leads train #437 into the yard at Madison, Wi. The train is crossing West Washington Avenue, which looks to be closed due to the replacement of the former passenger main crossing. While certainly nowhere near the height of activity in the 40s and 50s, this shot provides some perspective on the area and traffic that held on through the late 70s and early 80s.
Eventually, all of the tracks crossing West Washington were removed with the exception of one, which is now the Wisconsin & Southern main through the west side of town and onto Prairie du Chien. Photo taken on June 13, 1978 by C.G. Wallenmeyer.

6903 leads a w/b at Devore, CA late in the afternoon on Dec. 6, 1970. Built in July 1969, 6903 would not survive to see its 5th birthday as it was wrecked near Cajon in April 1974 and scrapped. Thus it was the first of the 6900's to exit the roster, still a toddler so to speak.
Once upon a time, before Queen Victoria was on the throne, there was a little man who planted a little tree on the edge of what would become a little lawn where a little Priory had once stood, near the little gate that leads to the Cathedral in the little ancient City of Winchester.
People passing said what a nice little tree it was, and the little man liked his little tree too, so he lovingly tended it while it grew, gave it a little water when it was a little dry and weeded the little patch round it so it did not get a little overgrown.
After a little time it grew into a little sapling, time passed and after a while the little man, who was now getting a little old, left the little tree to grow on it's own. while other little men and little civic dignitaries went to little meetings in the little old medieval barn that stood behind the little tree.
And little children played around the base of the little tree where the last veterans of Waterloo and Trafalgar sat under it's shade and told them their little memories of their past exploits and how they had defeated a nasty little man from a Country far away who had wanted to own the the Continent containing the little Country that the little tree grew in.
A little time passed and the little tree grew a little stronger every year, until it became a little bigger, and little birds came and sang in the branches of the little tree while Sundays the little people riding to the Cathedral tied their little horses to it or let them graze on the little lawn in front of it while they went and said their little prayers and sung their little hymns.
And other little children now played around the tree, until they too grew up and went off to make the little Empire bigger or fight in the little wars in little places like Crimea or South Africa.. Little artists came and made little sketches or water colours the little tree, or sat in it's shade and had picnics in the summer warmth.
Gradually, while the little tree grew bigger, the little Queen grew old and died, so her little Son Edward sat on the little throne, and little birds built little nests in it's little branches, where they laid little eggs which hatched little fledglings, and the passing little College boys looked at the little tree as they passed and remarked on how big the little tree was getting..
And as the little tree continued to grow bigger all the Cathedrals little Priests and Bishops noticed it's growing spread and told their little congregations how marvelous it was that their Creator had made the little tree that grew on the little lawn close to their Church, although now no-one now remembered the little man who planted the little tree, or his name.
But little later, as the branches on the little tree grew a little longer those little College boys became little Soldiers, and kissed their little girlfriends goodbye under it's little branches before they went off to get a little slaughtered on the Somme for little King George, who had succeeded little King Edward, and their little grieving girlfriends and little widows leant on the little tree and wept their little tears.
And a little bit later still a little house that had been built on the end of the little old medieval barn behind the little tree became a little school for little Choristers and Choirboys and when little King George's reign was over and his little son Edward was crowned King the little Choirboys sang and danced on the little lawn next to the little tree on his coronation day.
However while the little tree now stood tall and proud by the little lawn, little King Edward found a little lover who had been married before and all the little Bishops and the little Politicians said this was little naughty and he had to stop being the little King and let his little brother George have a go at being King instead.
But as the little Tree got a little bit older another nasty little man in a little Country far away decided that he too would like to own the little Continent containing the little Country that the little tree grew in, and lots of the little people went away to fight him and save the little tree and the little country.
And a lot of those little people who became little Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen did not come back again, so another generation of little girlfriends and little widows came and wept as they passed the little tree, perhaps remembering when they had been so happy courting under it's shelter from the little raindrops or in the shade of of its little leaves.
But in a little while the survivors of the little conflict came home and as King George passed away and his little daughter Elizabeth became Queen so the little boys from the little school behind the little tree again sang and danced on the little lawn beneath it's branches.
And a few times over the years little Queen Elizabeth came through the little gate leading to the little close where the little tree stood by the little lawn and in passing saw how big and mature the little tree had grown over the years that had passed since the little man had first planted it.
But times passed, and a little bit later little Queen Elizabeth also grew old and died, and the little leaves on the little tree by the little lawn in front of the little school quivered as the little bells in the Cathedral tolled to mark her passing, for no longer would she pass the little tree and wonder how long it had stood there.
Then Elizabeth's little son Charles became the next King, but even before his coronation, when the little boys from the little school would have again sung and danced on the little lawn, some little men with little clipboards came and looked at the little tree, shook their little heads and made some little notes.
And a little bit after that there came some little men, with little chainsaws, who climbed up ropes into the little tree and sawed off lots of the little branches, where the little leaves had grown and the little birds had nested for over two centuries, and threw them down to the ground before chopped them into little tiny pieces.
So now, just a very little time afterwards, the little people passing the stark remains of the little tree stop and stare at the bare stumps of the branches and wonder if they will ever grow back again and will the little branches for the little leaves to grow on regrow?
Will the little birds sing again from the little tree in the spring and nest in its branches? Will lovers again embrace under the little tree's canopy late on a summer's evening? And will the little boys from the little school sing and dance on the little lawn by the forlorn remains of the little tree on King Charles coronation day?
Or will the little tree, that had grown so big over the space of over two hundred years stand there stark and shorn until it starts to rot and it's bark starts to peel back or will the little men with their little chainsaws come back again and cut the mighty trunk down, rip out it's roots, saw them into little pieces and reduce those to wood chips, so that the only reminder that little tree ever existed will be those little sketches and water colours done by those little artists so long ago?
And then, after a little more time has passed, will the little people passing the little lawn in front of the little school remember the little tree which stood there for generations?
The little tree that grew there as their Great Great Grandparents and their offspring were born, lived their lives and passed on, Monarchs came and went, and many of the events that shaped our modern world took place?
For although these things took place over a long time to us little people with our short little lives, they occurred in just a little time during the long lifespan of the little tree that became a great big tree.
37405 leads 37408 "Loch Rannoch" through the single line section approaching Ribblehead Viaduct with 1E23 13.33 Carlisle to Leeds. 15th October 2003. 37405 was subsequently to prove the least reliable of the three 37/4s allocated to the Arriva loco-hauled service and had to be substituted on several occasions.
She Leads Me On.
Here is the story...amidst covid
Venturing out to an outskirt place, came upon a group of kite flyers in the open field. It was separated by a deep drain and was wondering how to cross over. There comes this lady, apparently familiar with the place, she choose a spot to cross over, I follow suite behind, and saw the V shape path against a backdrop of backlighted greenery, and a nice rim light cast upon her profile... seize that opportunity with Fuji XE3 and XF35mm F1.4.... "She leads me on" to the kite flyers just round the corner.

45145 leads a Sheffield – London St Pancras via Nottingham express round the curve from Lenton North Junction and on to the Down Main at Mansfield Junction whilst a class 47 and its train of empty oil tanks waits on the Down Goods for its turn to head east into Nottingham, 28th February 1978. In the foreground is a traditional stencil type speed sign (45) long since replaced by the current “roundels” similar to those found on the roads. However this type of speed sign might make a comeback as its speed indication is less likely to be lost due to graffiti vandalism.
Locomotive History
45145 was originally numbered D128 and was built at Crewe works, entering traffic in November 1961. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and D128 was one of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its Stone Vapour 4625 steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works at the end of 1974 as 45145. It was to spend virtually its whole career on Midland Main Line duties being initially allocated to Derby, followed by Cricklewood and Toton where it would remain until its final transfer to Tinsley in November 1986. 45145 was withdrawn in February 1988 and was broken up by MC Metals, Glasgow in December 1991.

NS #9020 leads NS train #957 East across the Missouri River Bridge in St Charles, MO on the NS (ex-Wabash) St Louis District on June 4, 2015. This special move was transporting the trainset from the now defunct Columbia Star Dinner Train from it's former location in Centrailia , MO to the CN in East St Louis, IL for hopefully better things in the future.
3265 leads 8S06 with the final shuttle to Gerogery as the train is about to pass under "Five Mates Crossing". 5 "mates" decided to race a train at this particular location once and the train came out the winner, so a major overbridge was put in place here for Olympic Way to pass over the railway line. In the distance towards Albury, an afternoon storm develops. 15/03/2014.

CSX 1776 leads coke train B157 across the Monongahela River as viewed from the Homestead, PA side on March 30, 2024. I'm not a big fan of the CSX specially painted GEVO fleet, but since I was in the area, and it was there, I made an effort to catch it. Later that day the CSX Conrail heritage unit came through leading a freight. Too bad they couldn't do more with the front of the cabs on them instead of the standard CSX scheme.
Incidentally this is the site of the famous Pinkerton Strike. On July 6, 1892, striking steel mill workers and their families engaged 300 Pinkerton guards in a fierce 12-hour gun battle at the mill pump house. After the chaos had settled, seven employees and three Pinkertons were killed, leaving the community stunned and devastated. There is a commemorative plaque at the pump house, which is just to the right of where I took this photo. This spot is now a nice little park with parking where you can sit in your car and then just walk a few feet to get a train photo. Too bad CSX traffic volume is way down from past levels.
G533 leads 4SD8 Army re enactment train from Sydney to Alice Springs via Adelaide through Mitcham on 24-7-1995. The train conveyed historic vehicles and military equipment from the Worl War 2 era and trailing on the back were NSW passenger cars.
37422 leads the 1824 Crewe – Bangor into Rhyl on 18 July 1994.
A picture from the reject bin. I suspect I never used this image because of the shadows on the stock and - perhaps also - because the back end end of the train was cut off. However, when I re-assessed it in 2021 I thought; it's not a bad side-on view of the loco so I resurrected it.
Sc52021 leads the 16:58 Glasgow Central to Largs & Ardrossan Harbour service through Lochside station on Friday 17th June 1983. The train is composed of two three car sets which will divide at Ardrossan South Beach. The leading set is composed entirely of Derby Class 107 cars and will continue on to Largs. The trailing unit is also composed of Derby Class 107 cars sandwiching a Metropolitan Cammell Class 101 trailer. This unit will terminate at Ardrossan Harbour where it will provide a connection into the Caledonian MacBrayne sailing to Brodick.

A former West Yorkshire Bristol VR LUA719V leaving Otley with a 732 for Leeds chased by an Olympian 5178 from Bradford. Both buses ( and routes ) long gone including the Peugeot learner driver car no doubt. Makes you realise how little Firstgroup have left in terms of work from the 1989 take over of Road Car especially in Leeds.
