8130 leads a short 1721N empty cement train across the viaduct at Bowenfels. This would prove to be the third last train to the Kandos plant, with the final train running on July 21st, 2011.
1721/7122 cement freights ceased in mid-July with Cement Australia slowly closing down operations at their Kandos plant. Typically the domain of a 81 class, occasionally an 80 class would be rostered to assist, or a second 81 class if loading was high enough. On at least one occasion, a G Class locomotive worked the train as well.
IAIS153 leads sister 151 across the diamond at RS Tower and approaches it's destination, it will shortly back into the yard on the right to interchange cars with main line trains and the Oakdale branch

8163 leads 8124, 48123, 8210 and 8225 on train 4833 empty ore from Carrington yard to Goonumbla in the Central West. 48’s (especially PN ones) are becoming increasingly rare on mainline freight.
There is a road that leads from where you are this very moment all the way to the best life you can possibly imagine. There is a road that leads from this very place where you find yourself today, all the way to your most treasured dreams.
Though it will sometimes be rocky and it will often be a steep climb, it's a road that you're free to take whenever you decide you're ready. As you travel the road you will learn, you will grow, you will achieve, you will bring about the very best of your possibilities.
Though it might seem nice to just skip the road and to arrive instantly at your dreams, doing so would drain all the value from those dreams. Because what makes those dreams meaningful to you in the first place is the person you'll become in reaching them.
The road ahead is difficult and it is wonderful. What a grand opportunity you have to travel it! Enjoy and get the most from every step, for that is where you'll find the richness of your life. Lets experience the mighty Karakorum Highway....

QJ 7081 leads the 11am Walcott excursion over the Government bridge and into Davenport, IA. The Government bridge is one of only a couple bridges in the country with a swing span that carries both the railroad (on the upper deck) and a road (on the lower deck).
The QJs have since been sold off from the IAIS to a private owner.
BNSF 8073 leads the H-GFDNTW (Grand Forks, ND - Northtown, MN) south through Alton, ND on a perfect spring day.
This was one of my favorite spots to shoot from during my residency in North Dakota simply because it was one of the very few elevated vantage points of the tracks in the eastern part of the state! As you can see in the background, it's pretty darn flat, no trees, no hills, nothing. If you could pan to the left, to the right, and back behind me, it would all look the same. This overpass gave a coveted change in perspective!
The other reason I liked this spot was because of the massive grain facility you see here. That's the Alton Grain Terminal, and it's got at least 8 giant concret tubes-worth of storage, 4.1 million bushels-worth to be exact! And if you've ever driven I-29 between Grand Forks and Fargo, you've surely seen this monster as it stands in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape.
Ironically enough, as massive as the Alton Grain Terminal is, if you just turn 90 degree to the left and drive for a little more than 12 miles, you would come across the tallest structure in the world at the time this photo was taken: the KVLY TV Tower. It has since dropped to the third tallest structure in the world, but it's still the tallest structure in the western hemisphere standing a whopping 2,063' in height. Yet most folks don't even know it's there! And just a mere 8 miles to its south stands the KXJB TV Mast checking in at 2,060', the second tallest structure in the western hemisphere! And here you thought North Dakota was boring!
But back to the shot: I was wanting to get a wide-angle overhead shot here for a long time, but shadows never played into my favor. In the past, the shadow from the overpass itself ruined the shot I was wanting. But on this day I had near-broadside light and in just the right amount. I think what helps this shot is that the shadows are short enough that they don't obscure the grain tracks on the right. Plus, shadows of a trio of SD40-2s is always awesome!
One last thought...hard to believe it was only 5 years ago that SD40-2s like this were still commonplace on High Priority manifests. In the seeming blink of an eye, all of that changed and now GEVOs are the power du jour...
CN 2304 leads A406 a few miles west of Hampton, New Brunswick, along the Sussex Subdivision. The frozen Kennebecasis River is the backdrop of this shot. I had to race ahead for this shot, so I wasn't able to adjust the cameras settings. Looks like it worked out decent.
Somebody should go and cut those trees down near the tracks...

67002 leads RHTT set and sister skip 67022 on the MML leaf buster circuit. The pair are working 3J92 south to West Hampstead and are photo'd here at Bush Bridge, Wellingborough, with Harrowden Junction in the distance, Wellingborough GBRf depot / Virtual Quarry behind.
The fourth line re-development is clear to see now. British Rail removed the fourth track between Kettering and Sharnbrook Junction in the 1980s for cost cutting reasons making platform 4 unused. The platform still does exist, overgrown and no link to the rest of the station. A building is left derelict on it and there are proposals for the platform to be reopened, which will link in with the electrification extensions from Bedford to Corby.
WLE 6348 leads some coke hoppers and tank cars across the Speers Railroad Bridge. From this perspective, it almost appears as if the train is on the deck of the I-70 bridge.
DE1663 leads sister DE1664 on the 226 stand at Haven Green, Ealing Broadway. The former was one of three of the batch required, so a short trip to Hanger Lane was pending, where by sheer good fortune I was able to intercept then penultimate DE1656. All eyes will be on DE1651 at my next visit to the WJ routes…19.4.22

Number 12 leads #8 on the 12th through the crossovers at Grand Avenue and under the iconic Miller Brewing sign. The steam is hanging together pretty well in the brisk temps that struggled to make it above 25 this day. The Empire Builder was on time today much to the delight of the passengers as they got to enjoy a rare sunny winter day from the comfort of their seats.
"O God, to show us where innocence leads, you made the soul of your virgin Saint Scholastica soar to heaven like a dove in flight. Grant through her merits and her prayers that we may so live in innocence as to attain to joys everlasting."
– Collect for today's memorial of St Scholastica, foundress of Benedictine nuns.
The dove is one of the symbols of St Scholastica because at her death her soul was seen by St Benedict to have soared to heaven in the form of a dove.

This street leads to the port El Kantaoui. It's really nice for walking. Sousse, Tunisia.
Port El Kantaoui is a tourist complex 10 kilometres north of Sousse in central Tunisia. It was built in 1979 specifically as a tourist centre, around a large artificial harbor which provides mooring with 340 berths for luxury yachts, hosting sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding, and several golf courses.
The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to the harbour of Port El Kantaoui and to the north of the harbour.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulica prowadząca do portu El Kantaoui w Sousse. Bardzo miło było tam spacerować :)
Port El Kantaoui leży w odległości 10 km od Sousse. Jest to turystyczny kompleks, zbudowany w 1979r., polecany szczególnie dla osób, które pragną spędzić pobyt w Tunezji aktywnie. Ze względu na lokalizację ogromnego portu jachtowego, który jednocześnie może pomieścić 300 jachtów, jest to centrum wszelakich sportów wodnych. Dla osób, które nie mają odpowiednich umiejętności istnieje wiele szkół i i ośrodków szkolenia, które pozwolą na poprawę umiejętności żeglarskich.

Our word for today from the Word of God actually comes from my life verse in Romans 8:37 . But, before we get to that, you have to hear the context. Paul talks about these things that have gone on in his life, "trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, sword." He's just talked about the worst terrain life has to offer!
If you're on a rocky or slippery road right now, it's probably covered in that list. Or whatever you're going through is nothing worse than what's on that list. Now, the response of someone who is living with spiritual four wheel drive, Romans 8:37 , "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Those guys going where I can't go on those back roads, I know what they feel like - conquerors! The Bible says here that we can live with four wheel drive conquering, actually, more than conquering those things that sink most people. But, how can you be an all-terrain, all-weather Christian, especially with the difficulties you're facing right now? Well, there are four secrets in Romans 8 to four wheel drive faith. First of all you know there's a perfect plan. Verse 28 says, "We know that in all these things God works for the good of those who love him." No matter how the road or the weather looks, you trust in God believing that this road is part of His great loving plan and that if it's a bumpy road it leads to something very beautiful.
It's time that you shifted into four wheel drive for the bumpy or maybe even dangerous road ahead of you. You have a perfect plan, inexhaustible resources, unloseable love and an invincible Savior. Is there any road you can't handle? Is there any road where you cannot be more than a conqueror?

Renfe 253.075 leads an Iberian-gauge intermodal freight working out of Barcelona Can Tunis, captured passing through Cornellà de Llobregat en route towards Madrid-Abroñigal.
Can Tunis is one of Barcelona’s principal freight terminals, handling intermodal traffic linking the Port of Barcelona with inland logistics hubs across Spain. The Renfe Class 253, based on the Bombardier TRAXX platform, is a common sight on long-distance container flows over the conventional Iberian-gauge network.
📍 Location: Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona
🚆 Operator: Renfe Mercancías
🔢 Locomotive: 253.075
⚙️ Gauge: Iberian (1,668 mm)
📦 Traffic: Intermodal freight

43049 leads the 5Z56 Kilmarnock to Crewe ECS at Euxton on May 29 2022. The Midland Pullman ( complete with an RCS green trailer) had been used the previous day on an Ayr to York excursion.
I particularly wanted a photo of the set with the Intercity power car leading, and with a green liveried trailer it's almost like the old days when HSTs frequently ran in all sorts of liveries.

31115 leads 31269 into Derby with 1M35, 13:05 Skegness – Derby, 16th July 1977.
Locomotive History
Both 31115 (originally D5533) and 31269 (originally D5699) were built at the Brush Falcon works, Loughborough, in 1959 and 1961 respectively. In 1973 selected members of the class began to receive electric train heating equipment and eventually seventy class 31 locomotives would be fitted with electric train heating over a twelve year period. 31115 would be one of the last so fitted becoming 31466 in 1985, whilst 31269 became 31429 when fitted in 1983. 31466 would give forty two years service until withdrawn in February 2001 and was one of only a handful of class 31’s to gain EWS maroon and gold livery. Following withdrawal it was sold for preservation and is currently (January 2010) at the Dean Forest Railway. 31429 was withdrawn in November 1991 after thirty years service and was broken up by CF Booth, Rotherham in April 1993.
