Simple wooden bridge now leads to a hidden destination. It is a foggy morning in the fall season. The leaves of the willow tree have yellowed and some have already fallen on the bridge.

BLE 903 leads a Minntac pellet train past the MP 3.5 signal on July 18, 2018. This U791 has been running downgrade since MP 16 near Highland. The route flattens for a short stretch here near Waldo, but once past the signal, the loads start down the steepest part of the grade into Two Harbors. The next three miles are all +2% grade, with it topping out at 2.9% for a stretch down to Lake Superior.
The L6 milepost is for the Loop Line, now called the Two Harbors Sub., which takes a longer, flatter route for the empties to work away from Lake Superior.
Almost straight out of the camera, slight adjustments to exposure and few little tweaks.would normally have cloned out his I.D. tags but decided not to work to much on this shot as I'm rather pleased with this shot at a slightly lower than required shutter speed and hand held. ISO is quite high, but i was pleased with this shot as juggling two dogs, camera and two leads gets you in a bit of tangle ..lol..
Utah 5005 leads a five unit consist and a CITX empty coal train near Brewster Kansas. The coal cars are headed to storage at various auxiliary tracks on the Kyle.
WP U30B 3064 leads a westbound train across the Beckwourth Valley at Hawley CA. In a shorth distance the train will enter the east yard limits of Portola where a crew change will take place for the trip through the Feather River Canyon.
T448p-111 leads a set of loaded tanker wagons through the sad, brown, wintery fields on the outskirts of Gdynia, just before terminating its short journey of 4 kilometers.
The fuel base number 21 in Dębogórze is a fun thing to see whenever you are in the area of the Polish northern Tricity (Gdynia+Sopot+Gdańsk). Its railway track is completely detached from the urban part of Gdynia and instead runs through the fields on its outskirts, which makes for a nice atmosphere (at least in summer...), which almost lets us forget that it's not a real full-scale unelectrified railway line.
The rolling stock of PERN, which is stationed at this base almost reminds us of the Czech Republic or Slovakia. They have two T448p locomotives and (since August 2023!) S200-289, only a Brejlovec and Barodtka are missing for the full experience. The newly aquired six-axle S200 locomotive was one of the main targets of my stay in Gdynia for the winter holidays, as I didn't manage to see it in action during summer. Until recently it was the only broad gauge S200 in Poland, because it served trains from the east at the base no. 13 in Zawadówka.
The whole railway network of the fuel base is comprised of two stations, one of which is used as a pickup point for other railway carriers - mostly Orlen, and the other for loading the tank wagons. They are connected by a track with around 3 kilometers of length. The fuel base itself has a direct pipeline connection to the harbour in Gdynia, from which it takes its entire supply of liquid products for storage and later shipping into Poland.
If you ever do decide to drop by, you are almost destined to see some traffic, as there are up to 3 pairs of trains during daytime. I wholeheartedly recommend coming here for some almost-branchline vibes with lots of diesel action... until it gets really monotonous.
Sadly I once again failed to catch the S200. Well, better luck next time I guess.

RCPE 6408 leads a four pack of former ICE units down the River Junction siding on a chilly December 2014 afternoon with CP 470 in tow. The I-90 project at La Crescent, Minnesota was in full swing. It was a multi year long pain in the ass.
CN 8331 Leads G851 Westbound On Approach To Kissick And Passes A Former Cattle Load Here. This Was Probably My Favourite Photo From My Recent Trip To Kamloops With A Couple Of Friends. Hope Y’all Enjoy This Image As Much As I Did!
Soo SD40 741 leads a couple of GP9's on the return trip of the Milwaukee Turn as they pass an old Brewery at Lomira WI. Dust blowing off some kind of aggregate in the gondolas. May 1979.
Utah 9011 leads loads west as they climb the grade of Soldier Summit. Before long a six pack of mid-train helpers will roar by my location at Castle Gate
BNSF 7211 leads the relatively new Q-PTLALT (Portland, OR - Alliance, TX) south near Monument, CO.
This train started running on 12 Sep between the Pacific Northwest and Dallas-Ft. Worth, but this is my first time actually shooting it. Early on, the train lengths were maybe 12 or 13 cars, but it's been slowly increasing in length as time moves forward.
Oh, that guy in the lower right? A fellow railfan who inadvertently wandered into the shot! If that was you, sorry about all the GEs on this particular morning...
NS 1072 leads Pan Am Southern train 16R out of the 4.75 mile long Hoosac Tunnel into daylight in Florida, MA. This is one of the more interesting locations on the west end of the PAS Freight Main. It has interesting history to say the least.
NS 1801 leads a decent looking NS 171 over the Miami River in Dayton, OH on a hazy December afternoon. Given the lack of decent lashups on the Dayton District over the past 6 months this single train brought out many railfans.

A passage leads to some wonky but solid steps made from slate. In this area of Wales, it seems that slate is everywhere. Wales produced over four-fifths of all British slates and dominated world roofing slate production. In 2021, UNESCO added North West Wales' slate landscape to its World Heritage list.

R766 leads the return of the first Singleton shuttle of the day, seen here passing through Lochinvar. Two shuttles were being run this day between Maitland and Singleton.
The chalk on the smokebox door is honouring a long time volunteer of THNSW who recently passed away, Leon Kingas Rudd.
From the Ante-Chapter-House a curved passage leads to one of the most admirable areas of Spanish Renaissance architecture: the Chapter-House of the Cathedral. It was begun in 1558 under the direction of the architec Hernán Ruiz II and was finished by Asensio de Maeda in 1592.
The layout of this area is elliptical so that all the members of the cathedral chapter were perfectly visible at their meetings where the problems of the spiritual and material government of the church were brought up and discussed. The oval vaulting in one simple unit helps the voice to carry and has exceptional acoustics. The need for hearing and seeing required in the meetings of the numerous clergy was thus satisfactorily solved, but at the same time the wall decoration of the Chapter-House consists of a complex series of pictures and figures to emphasize the virtues expected of those who came to meet there so that their exchange of ideas and opinions would take place in an atmosphere of harmony and concerd. The walls therefore show a moral code for the canons to observe in their chapter meetings. The composition of pictures and figures designed by the canon Francisco Pacheco includes a seies of sculptures ans paintings with Latin inscriptions referring to the meanings of the images. All this decoration appears in the second section of the Hall, and the first to be seen between the pedestals of the columns are painted versions of the Virtues, among which Justice, Charity, Faith, Compassion and Hope can be identified. These virtues are female figures, some of which represent Saints at the same time, such as St Barbara, St Katherine, St Lucy and St Agnes. These paintings were carried out by Pablo de Céspedes in 1592.
The authors of the large vertical reliefs between the columns are Juan Bautista Vázquez el Viejo and Diego de Velasco who made them approximately between 1582 and 1582. They show The Assumption of the Virgin, Two Miracles of St John the Evangelists, The cleasing of the Temple, The Heavenly Father with the Vintagers, The seven Angels calling the Damned, The Ectasy of St John Evangelist and The Allegory of the Mystic Lamb. The rectangular reliefs were carried out by Marcos Cabrera around 1590 and show The last Sermon of Jesus Christ, Daniel in the Lions´Den, Christ´s Baptism, The Storm in the Sea of Tiberias, The Parable of the Sower, Christ,s Agony in the Garden, St Peter contemplating the unclean Animals and Christ washing the Feet of the Apostles.
In the vault there is a magnificent series of paintings by Murillo who was commissioned by the Chapter in 1667. In a splendid carved frame everything centres on La Inmaculada, which may be considered among the most beautiful the artist made of the subject. Painted on circular canvases around the vault there is a series of eight Seville Saints who can be identified by the name on the signs. They are San Hermenegildo, San Fernando, San Leandro, San Isidoro, San Laureano, Santa Justa, Santa Rufina and San Pio. The Chapter-House centres on a magnificent mahogany armchair which was carved by the sculptor Diego de Velasco in 1592. Before it there is the secretary´s bench, also of excellent design by the same artist.

CP 6069 leads a loaded ballast train as they back past sunalta and into Alyth. The lashup of 4 SD40-2s and 1 SD60 is quite the sight to see in the year of 2025. This train would leave Calgary heading north for red deer later in the night.
68027 leads 68020, 68022, 68031 and 68026 through Willenhall working 0Z90 09.15 Crewe Gresty Bridge DRS to Long Marston MOD
One thing leads to another. It had been raining first thing this morning and the front doorstep was laden with white rose petals. When it had dried a bit I brushed them off. Whilst doing so great gusts of wind was thrashing at the long rose flower stems flopping them to and fro in front of the doorstep. In case someone came to the door I thought I’d better cut some back and enjoy the roses indoors. As I put them in a vase I thought they needed some other colours so I picked some Nigella and red campion to go with them.
Thank you everyone so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued. I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups
UP 1943 leads a pair of GEs eastbound on an oil train just west of Tunnel 1. It took about 90 minutes to get from East Portal to this spot, rolling slow as UP oil trains typically do. Alas, that meant the direct sunlight was gone, but there was still enough ambient light to capture the scene.

CN SD75I 5710 leads CN-SE eastward on the 'Selkirk Branch'. The yard at Selkirk was plugged up this morning, so CN-SE had to hold out here at Voorheesville until the traffic cleared up.

CP 7023 leads 475 westbound through Maple Springs on a dreary Saturday morning. I have wanted this shot for over a year and finally had the chance to get out there when I heard the heads of this train going through Iowa the day before. Definitely going to have to come back.
NS high hood GP38-2 #5109 leads an Atlanta, GA to Memphis,TN bare table train past the 94.3 intermediate signal at Seney, GA on Norfolk Southerns Atlanta North District.
A clean Conrail Quality SD45-2 leads CSX Q432 north on the River Sub at Teaneck, NJ. There is a lot going on in this relatively common photo of two trains meeting at Teaneck. First, this is post-Conrail split, so it was uncommon to have an NS-owned SD45-2 is leading a CSX train. Months after the split, it seems 6654 had yet to be renumbered, making it still "pure Conrail". 6654 would soon be "patched" as NS 1700. It would be repainted twice, first in a coat of standard NS black and white and eventually in Erie Lackawanna gray, maroon and yellow. I believe Q432 had been Conrail symbol "OISE" (today's CSX Q434). The trailing unit is Electro-Motive leasing 6411, a former Conrail SD40. Finally, the center siding between Teaneck and Bogota was clearly still under construction. The line was graded and ties installed, but rail and ballast had yet to come.
CSX Q432:
CR 6654 SD45-2 (ex-EL 3669)
EMDX 6411 SD40 (ex-PC/CR 6263)
BNSF 6852 leads a Portland bound Q train through east control point of Hope siding. With the Northern Pacific signals falling sometime this winter or early next year I made a priority to shoot all the signals left on the MRL 4th subdivision. After having a good pizza (Rocco's pizza) in the town of Clark Fork, I heard a horn of a westbound in the distance and headed up to east Hope. Nice end to a beautiful day on the 4th sub.
UP 8973 West leads Port Hueneme-bound military train SFCOX 01 past the wash rack at Metrolink’s Central Maintenance Facility, former SP Taylor yard, on a gloomy Sunday afternoon.
From this angle you can see how compressed SP’s Taylor yard was, flanked by the tree-lined LA River on the right and residential neighborhoods on the left, this and many other issues were the reasons why it was sold to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority.
A few points of interests, the prominent tan building above is LA County USC hospital used by the soap opera 'General Hospital' in its opening credits and the palm tree hillside on the right is Elysian Park home to Dodger Stadium.
37706 leads 92042 "Honegger" passes Breaston with the 6T19 1230 Chaddesden Sidings - Toton spoil empties which is also carrying old sleepers in the back wagons on 14th Dec 99.....I'm not really sure why the Dyson was being moved to Toton ,but it wasn't for painting although the loco does seem to have a non standard black square panel on the center bodyside .....While both locos are still with us....the footcrossing has since been replaced with a bridge
CN 3186 leads a potash train out of the siding at Blueberry after meeting a westbound. Don't let the map fool you, the Sprague may be in Minnesota, but the railroad in form and practicality are Canadian holding true to the Canadian operating rules. Such evidence is the CTC signaling system like the three-headed east entrance to Blueberry.
CSX 8830 leads a southbound freight into Atmore, Alabama, as paced from the car. Blurring through the woods at 50mph the train is stopped in time at 1/10th of a second. A fraction of time in real life, but a lifetime of motion in a still image.
This track leads to Joey's Lane at the foot of Sheeps Tor on Dartmoor.
I love its moss covered boulders, and always enjoy walking around that area. Conveniently, it's just a short drive from my house :-)
NOTE: I want to say thank you for the 11 group invitations; for all the faves; and to those who have taken the trouble to leave comments. Much appreciated :-)
WNYP 426 leads the LA&L road train at Stull Road in Rush, NY on October 29, 2024. This is a nice location, but is best done on an overcast day due to the harsh backlighting. A car had pulled up to get the mail in one of the mailboxes, and thankfully pulled away just seconds before the train appeared.
An ex ATSF SD45 leads CSX autorack train Q236-08 through the S curve at Acworth,GA into some sweet evening sunlight.
UP 1439 leads a local out of Mankato westbound on the Mankato Subdivision past the giant Crystal Valley Co-op at Madelia. This is the first shot of my chase of this train. Having no clue where it was going, I followed it to St. James and Butterfield where it took the east leg of the wye onto the Fairmont Subdivision and headed south and east.
GP18 1801 leads the northbound train today, snaking through the S curve approaching Weeks crossing in East Wakefield, NH. This is the highest elevation on the operating portion of the Conway Branch.
1801-3825-5509-3823 with 2x40 (24x32 out of Dover this AM)
NS #1800 leads westbound 202 at Marion, NC. Spine cars for storage on the "Storage Line of the South" will be deposited at various locations and stored for several months.
Storage cars now occupy sidings at French/Hot Springs, Walnut/Nocona, Ivy/Volga (west of Asheville) and Old Fort and Clinchcross (East of Asheville).
