GP38 leads 810 from Wilmar to Northtown Aug-04. Hard to believe this is 5th St NE in Downtown Minneapolis
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).
Things have changed a wee bit since 1983. The Newmarket Sub is now an overpass for GO service, and a 4th track has been added to give 2 Mac Yard bypass tracks. The world has encroached a little as well. 5 GP40-2's have the Temagami Or Train in hand as they head for a crew change at Jane St.
Wow! A triple Explore today! :-)

Nufenen Pass (Italian: Passo della Novena, German: Nufenenpass) (el. 2478 m.) is the second highest mountain pass with a paved road within Switzerland - after Umbrailpass. It lies between the summits of Pizzo Gallina (north) and the Nufenestock (south).
The pass road from Ulrichen in canton of Valais leads to the Bedretto valley in the canton of Ticino, linking Brig to Airolo. It is not the lowest pass between the two valleys, as it is located one kilometre north of a slightly lower unnamed pass at 2,440 metres, which is traversed by a trail.
The pass is of relatively recent construction, having been opened to traffic only since September 1969.
To the east of the top of the pass is the source of the Ticino River. Towards the north is a spectacular view of the Bernese Alps, notably the Finsteraarhorn while there is a view over the Gries Glacier to the south.

SOO 6036 leads a leaser and fellow 60 out of the tunnel on Main 2 under gorgeous fall sun. I had followed this train over twelve hours earlier out of Glenwood and through the night up to Dickinson. At Dickinson the plan was for 497 to setout the 6036 in order for the train to continue East, as the 6042 had developed issues. After getting the power all shuffled around, the train was tied down for a relief crew.
I woke up the next morning to find the train was approaching Humboldt, so I decided to go grab some shots of it during normal hours as well. This is always a good spot to nab an Eastbound after the sun swings, and this day was no different.
Just another night on the West Side.
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
CP 8047 leads the DDay military unit CP 6644 out of Guelph Junction headed west up the Galt sub for a stop at Wolverton. The OSR is observed in the background picking up cars left by T69.
CSX 911 leads E700, as it works its way eastbound through Kent, Ohio. The lighting and substantial overgrowth was tricky, but we managed to make it work.
A CSX SD40-3 rebuild leads B157, the westbound Coke Express, through Willow Creek nearing it's destination of Curtis.
The Other Side....
An autumn trail leads to a small walk bridge to the other side of the park. where more autumn beauty awaits.

Conrail 3266 leads a trio of bastardized GP40's on a Westbound at Goodman Street Yard in Rochester, NY in the late Summer of 1977. I recently scanned some oldies from my Graphlex camera days. I did not do a good job of recording dates back then, so all I can do is guess that this was probably August of that year.

Alco 4001 leads a Picton bound shuttle down the hill through the cutting near Redbank, with the sun being just high enough to not cast shadows onto the underframe. Garratt 6029 will lead the train back up to Thirlmere shortly.
NS 8099, the Southern Railway heritage unit, leads a Houston-bound manifest through Tower 26 on a hot August afternoon.
Although most trains headed for Englewood Yard will turn east here, UP has been running trains "the long way" to get to Englewood more often the last few years. The train will run south to Tower 30 on the Galveston Sub, then turn north and use the Strang Sub to approach Englewood from the south. This adds more than 10 miles to the journey, but with the Houston Terminal perennially congested sometimes creative routings win out.

DSVN D19E 922 leads a Hanoi bound service across the Long Bien bridge across the Red River in Hanoi. The bridge was build in 1902 by French firm Dayde & Pille and despite repeated attacks by American bombers still stands today. Between the hasty repairs and 120+ years old daily use, the bridge is in dire state and plans are underway to renovate it. However, this will likely lead to atleast the temporary, suspension of rail traffic....

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.

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 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.
D'Arnaud's barbet is a small East African bird that feeds on insects, fruits, and seeds.
It grows to about eight inches, and is equally at home in trees or on the ground. A vertical tunnel two to three feet into the ground with a sideways and upward turn leads to the nest chamber.
In a striking dance the male and female face each on nearby twigs and twitch, bob and sing like mechanical toys.
BNSF 6519 leads a doubled up grain train over the Hi-Line a Bison West. These grain trains are monsters in size with over 900 axles, 2 units up front, 3 mid-train, and another 3 on the tail.
Head-end power: BNSF 6519 (GE ES44C4) - BNSF 8125 (GE ES44C4)
BNSF 8295 leads a southbound H-LAUAMA (Laurel, MT - Amarillo, TX) high-priority manifest south through the town and pleasant waters of Palmer Lake, CO.
Catching a SD75I in Colorado in 2010 was a wonderful surprise. This train had all the local railfans out, if I remember correctly, there were at least 6 of us chasing this train.
SD75 power was common on coal trains during my time in North Dakota, and I always enjoyed catching Wabonnet goodness when I could (or, in this case, BNSFbonnet). The SD75I came after the merger, so these were purchased and built as BNSF units. Glad they stuck with the Warbonnet scheme when these were built!
Kromlau Rhododendron Park: This trail lined by yellow honeysuckle azaleas leads to Rakotz Bridge, the main attraction in the park
Der Azaleen- und Rhododendronpark Kromlau ist ein ca. 200 ha großer Landschaftspark im Ortsteil Kromlau der Gemeinde Gablenz im Landkreis Görlitz. Er gilt als die größte Rhododendren-Freilandanlage in Deutschland und ist bei freiem Eintritt immer geöffnet.1842 erwarb der Großgrundbesitzer Friedrich Hermann Rötschke das Gut Kromlau. Ab 1844, mit den ersten Anpflanzungen einheimischer und fremdländischer Gehölze in diesem Gut, stellte Rötschke fast die Hälfte seines Besitzes zur Gestaltung des Parks zur Verfügung. Es wurden Basaltsteine mit Ochsenkarren aus verschiedenen Steinbrüchen der Sächsischen Schweiz und Böhmen herbeigeholt. Aus den sechskantigen Basaltstelen entstanden Höhlen, Grotten und Pyramiden, der Richterstuhl, die Orgel, Himmel und Hölle, im Wasser und zu Lande. 1875 tauschte Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke sein Rittergut gegen Bauplätze in Wilmersdorf bei Berlin ein. Das Kromlauer Schloss hatte von hier an sieben Besitzer in vierzehn Jahren. 1889 erwarb Graf von und zu Egloffstein-Arklitten das Rittergut und beauftragte ab 1893 den Gartenbauinspektor Georg Eichler mit der Parkpflege. Dieser begann neben den bisherigen Baum- und Strauchgewächsen in größerem Umfang Rhododendren und Freiland-Azaleen anzupflanzen. Sie sollten zu einem harmonisch abgerundeten Erscheinungsbild der Parkanlage beitragen. Außerdem legten die Gartengestalter in den Moorsenken eigens zum Verkauf bestimmte Blumenzüchtungen an, die einen einträglichen Nebenverdienst erbrachten und der Entwicklung des Parks zugutekamen.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Kromlauer Park aufgrund der Bodenreform in Volkseigentum überführt und 1948 zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärt. Erst ab 1966 begannen die zielgerichtete Pflege und Rekonstruktion des Parks. Heute ist die Gemeinde Gablenz Eigentümer des Kromlauer Parkes.
Zu den interessantesten Bauwerken im Kromlauer Park zählen das Kromlauer Schloss und die von 1863 bis 1882 aus Basalt- und Feldsteinen errichtete Rakotzbrücke (Rakotz = Sorbisch für Krebs, denn Kromlau liegt im Siedlungsgebiet der Sorben), die im Volksmund auch Teufelsbrücke genannt wird. Mit einer Spannweite von 35 m quert sie den Rakotzsee, kann jedoch nicht betreten werden. Ihr Halbkreis spiegelt sich im See und bildet so optisch einen vollständigen Kreis. Die im See angeordneten Basaltsäulen werden „Orgel“ genannt. Eine Reihe von Wanderwegen erschließt den Park und die weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park is a landscaped park covering around 200 hectares in the village of Kromlau, part of of the municipality of Gablenz in the district of Görlitz in east Saxony.. It is considered the largest open-air rhododendron park in Germany and is always open with free admission. The large landowner Friedrich Hermann Rötschke acquired the Kromlau estate in 1842. From 1844, with the first plantings of native and non-native trees and shrubs on the estate, Rötschke allocated almost half of his property to the creation of the park. Basalt stones were brought in with ox carts from various quarries in Saxon Switzerland and Bohemia. Caves, grottos and pyramids, the Judge's Seat, the Organ, Heaven and Hell, in water and on land, were created from the hexagonal basalt steles. In 1875, Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke exchanged his estate for building plots in Wilmersdorf near Berlin. From then on, Kromlau Castle had seven owners in fourteen years. In 1889, Count von und zu Egloffstein-Arklitten acquired the manor and from 1893 commissioned the horticultural inspector Georg Eichler to maintain the park. He began planting rhododendrons and azaleas on a large scale alongside the existing trees and shrubs. They were to contribute to the harmonious appearance of the park. In addition, the garden designers planted flower cultivars in the bog depressions specifically for sale, which generated a lucrative side income and benefited the development of the park.
After the Second World War, the Kromlau Park was transferred to public ownership as a result of the land reform and declared a nature reserve in 1948. It was not until 1966 that targeted maintenance and reconstruction of the park began. Today, the municipality of Gablenz is the owner of Kromlau Park.
The most interesting buildings in Kromlau Park include Kromlau Manor and the Rakotz Bridge (Rakotz = Sorbian for crab - Kromlau is part of the settlement area of the recognised slavic minority of the Sorbs), which was built between 1863 and 1882 from basalt and fieldstone and is also known locally as the Devil's Bridge. With a span of 35 metres, it crosses Lake Rakotz, but can not be walked on. Its semi-circle is reflected in the lake and thus visually forms a complete circle. The basalt columns arranged in the lake are called ‘organs’. A series of hiking trails provide access to the park and the other sights.

There was a time when many people carried pencils everywhere they went and often as not, they were mechanical pencils. They has the advantage of being able to retract the lead so that sbhirts did not get stained, they never needed a sharpener, they carried replacement leads under the replaceable erasers and they had pockets clips so as not to be easily lost.
Many people today have never used a mechanical pencil, and have never purchased replacements in these wooden (Red) and cardboard (Yellow) tubes. They were always on my shopping list when I was going back to school.

The channel that leads from Harbor Towne Marina into Muskegon Lake. I captured this about forty minutes before sunrise.
Amtrak B32-8WH 519 leads the westbound Borealis at Red Wing on the CPKC River Sub. Originally used across the system, Amtrak's remaining dash 8s have been relegated to back up power for regional trains and yard service.
NS 1067 leads the 384 across the Mississippi River at Camden in the final minutes of light. With this shot being nearly 100% backlit, I am fine with the way the shot came out. Could’ve been better, could’ve been worse. Worth the drive and wait after a long shift at work? Probably not, but hey, what else am I going to do?
FEC 418 leads string of MOW cars south through Stuart. 920 will normally follow 109 south with local customer work but on this day it was nothing but MOW cars. While waiting for 109 and 920 to come south I was treated to Dolphins swimming in the calm morning waters.

Rail Operations Group (ROG) 37608 'Andromeda' leads Greater Anglia Stadler 745107 past Waterbeach, working the 5P99 1210 Bishops Stortford C. Sdgs to Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D VSTP move. The class 745 failed whilst working between Stanstead Airport and London Liverpool Street the day before with a TPWS fault.
ATSF 526 leads a five unit set of B40-8W units on the 9-891-22 as it climbs through Abo Canyon, NM across Bridge #4 at MP 872.2 on the ATSF Clovis Subdivision on October 23, 1993.
The train has left behind the Rio Grande Valley, visible between the mesas above the train, where it was refueled and recrewed at Belen and is climbing toward Abo Summit at Mountainair and then the run across the eastern plains of New Mexico to Clovis.
Rail Operations Group (ROG) 57305 leads Ex-London Northeastern Railways (LNER) Class 91s, 91129, 91113, 91126 'Darlington Hippodrome' and 91102 'City of York' past Abbots Ripton, 0Q76 0745 from Doncaster Belmont Down Yard to Newport Docks (Simsgroup).
All 4 Class 91s are seen here being dragged to Newport for scrap, what a waste in my opinion; despite the recent fiasco with LNER's new plastic fleet of IEPs!
