1756 leads 1751,1754,1755 and 1753 south with 25 cars on train 4 about a mile north of Bellevue Trestle on Sept. 26, 1997. Starting the next fall the WC started sprinkling in SD45's, F45's and GP40's with the F's or replacing them entirely on some trains in canyon service due to the length of the trains. This job was struggling to make track speed and the crew was grumbling a bit as train 2 was catching up to them fairly rapidly on this spectacular afternoon.
I suppose the obvious caption to this shot would be "The Two Ronnies"!
Rail Operations Group's 57305 leads one coach and classmate 57312 into Tamworth working 5M60, the 14.08 from Cardiff Canton Pullmans to Derby RTC.
So, in tribute to Messrs. Barker and Corbett......"It's goodnight from me", "And it's goodnight from him!"

CN 2128 leads CSX train W248 as it gains speed after slowing for a 10mph speed limit at Newman. This train is on the final leg of the trip to Danville. It came from somewhere in Canada, went down through Champaign on the CN, north out of Mattoon to Decatur, then interchanged with the CSX early this morning to take it to Danville. This train would soon get nabbed by a dead J71325 at Chrisman.
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.
Leads, 5Z67 09.53 Longsight-Walton Old Jn (MSC sidings)
through Earlestown P5
With thanks to ( www.flickr.com/photos/sjpowermac/for the heads up on this move ;-))
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!
RM1713 leads many redundant buses including Routemasters, Leyland Nationals & DMS's. Some were sold for a further life & others went for scrap at AEC Southall Works 26/4/87
BNSF 7921 leads a southbound vehicle train through Colorado Springs, CO.
I don't catch many SB autoracks, but I see my fair share of NB racks. Those NB vehicle trains typically run 1x1, so I was happy to see this one running with the power up front.
Heading into April 2016, traffic on the Joint Line has been down ~70% with the line seeing an average of 10-12 trains per day. But on this particular morning, I saw 5 trains in a 4-hour window making it feel a little like the "classic" Joint Line...

This power car is today (13th Dec 2025) working a Plymouth to Penzance turn for GWR.
Their 'Castle' HST's are about to be withdrawn from service.

SCT0098-SCT013 leads 7MB9 down SCT intermodal from SCT Laverton to SCT Bromelton (near Brisbane) seen passing through Old Tullamarine Loop, Airport West taken on Saturday 19/11/20222.
A UP SD70M leads a southbound manifest through Wheatland. Not long ago this scene looked a bit different as The Jones Company mill on the right side of the frame was a lot larger but now is half the size. I’m not sure if it is getting torn down but it’s at least downsizing.
BNSF 5856 leads the eastbound Provo-Denver manifest, sitting in the siding at Rocky. The train had to wait for the westbound Zephyr, which you can now see on the main in the distance (above the manifest), heading west. Alas, the crew of the manifest do not get to release the brakes quite yet as another westbound is coming between Leyden and Rocky.
One of only 18 SD-40A units ever built leads the way, assisting three Paducah Geeps with a heavy grain drag, as they close in on leaving the "home state" with only about 35 more miles until they cross the Ohio River.
A very clean former Santa Fe SD45-2 leads BNSF DENBAR on the Joint Line at MP 41 in Larkspur, CO. At the time the Joint Line was very much a directional operation, and this train is southbound on the No. 1 track, BNSF Pikes Peak Subdivision (former ATSF). Here the train will swing away from I-25 and dig in for the final ten-plus mile climb toward the summit at Palmer Lake. Trailing (out of view) were two H1-painted SD40-2s, and I can still hear the sound of this EMD trio working upgrade.

43029 leads 43143 across Crubenmore near Dalwhinnie with the 1B30 1248 Inverness to Edinburgh. A slight point of interest with this shot is the addition of a 5th coach in the set.
The wide open plain flanked by the highland mountains makes for an impressive backdrop.

8901 leads CPKC 112 east at Castle Mountain just before the sun dips behind the mountains. 112 is lit up all the way to Radnor, where they would meet 101
PRL205 leads sister GT22C-3M units PRL203 and PRL206 west through Reid River working 9M30 Glencore empty dirt. 4/12/21
NS 1069 leads train 171 as it crawls under the intermediates in Wooster, with a former CB&Q GE in trail. The color scheme here, excluding the trailing unit, was pretty neat with both the locomotive and the signals wearing black and yellow.
CP 9829 leads a Mexico-bound manifest through the Sawyer Yards/First Ward neighborhood of Houston. This is a location undergoing change, with new apartments and houses going up alongside old industrial warehouses. Plus, new Vader signals are up to replace the aging searchlights that still protect Niles Junction.

The pursuit of migratory birds often leads one off trails, and into tight corners. In one such pursuit I came across this lovely black and white hairy caterpillar, one I had never seen before. It occurred to me to try to gently steer it into a place where I could get a better photograph, but I decided against it, and just tried to secure the best image I could. Just as well: the black hairs or setae are barbed, and cause a reaction ranging from bee sting to poison ivy to stinging nettles, depending on the person/animal that touches them. If you look closely, the black hairs are spread along the length of the sides of the caterpillar and are not just found in the thick tufts on either side of the front and back.
Many web sites, including the site Eastern Ontario Health Unit in a recent warning posting, declare them to be venomous; others suggest that this is alarmist, and that they are simply barbed. In any event, physical contact with the black hairs can cause severe allergic reaction in people predisposed to allergic reactions to bees/poison ivy etc.
The beautiful black and white colouring is taken to be an example of aposematism - the signalling by an animal through its coloration that is has defences and should not be eaten. In this case, the whiteness is said to declare ‘I don’t need camouflage’, indicating a secondary defence.
These creatures are native to North America, but their presence in eastern Ontario is apparently new. They have long been found in southern Ontario. They feed on hickory, ash, oak elm and walnut leaves, and like this creature, I suspect, develop a cocoon in September to overwinter and emerge as a quite beautiful moth in the spring.
This caterpillar was found behind the ridge at Mud Lake.
EL56-EL62-EL55-4904 leads 7M21V down SSR ballast train from Appleton Dock to Maroona for tracks work on the Avoca line between Ararat & Maryborough in the next few weeks, as they approach Altona Junction, Altona Nth taken on Sunday 13/11/2022.
8666 leads a mixed freight train off the SP line into Moncrief Yard. This area is very rough and hanging around with camera equipment on the pedestrian overpass will draw attention from the locals.
Conrail SD60 6865 leads TV202 on the Southern Tier Line at CP ROSS just East of Dalton, NY on September 30, 1995. The 6865 was one of the last standard cab units bought by Conrail. The 6867 was the last standard cab unit. All power after that delivery was in the form of wide cabs. There was an exception when some of the SD70's were ordered to NS specs.
CN 2976 leads a colourful intermodal train east along the shores of the Athabasca River at mile 205 on the Edson Sub. With the whistle board being right below the cliff I was standing on, the engineer was kind enough to delay his horn sequence for the tunnel and avoided blowing my ears out.
Conrail 6586 leads BUOI along the Canisteo River and around the big curve at Saunders Road near Rathbone, NY on August 18, 1985. It was a challenge climbing that steep hillside for a high vantage point. I later cleared out the small trees and got some other trains here during the next couple of years.
The story so far: At the close of the hunting season, King Arthur’s retinue descend from the fells and prepare to herd the barren does into the hollows in order to slaughter them with bows and arrows. Sir Gawaine leads King Arthur’s wife Gaynore down the track, when suddenly the woods are cast into darkness, and they are separated from their companions. Whilst Gawaine endeavours to explain away the phenomenon as a solar eclipse, a decayed, animated corpse appears before them. Gawaine observes that it is crawling with snakes and toads, and draws his sword to defend his queen. The ghost tells Gawaine that it is all that remains of Gaynore’s mother, and that it once was more beautiful even than its daughter, but is now a rotting corpse. It commands him to bring Gaynore into its presence, and when he obeys, it tells her that it is in Purgatory, and can only be redeemed by her prayers. Gaynore asks whether there is any hope for her mother’s soul, and after giving a prescription for its own salvation, the ghost turns on Gaynore, accusing her of pride, and insisting that she too will suffer its fate, if she does not change her ways. Moreover, it suggests that King Arthur himself is doomed to destruction because of his pride, employing that favourite mediaeval metaphor, the Wheel of Fortune. Gawaine realises that if Gaynore’s sin is enough to send her to Hell, the sins of Arthur’s knights are far worse. The ghost predicts that although Arthur and his knights have been victorious in France, defeating Gian in battle, Arthur himself will fall at the battle of Camlann on the River Tamar. She says that Gawaine will be in Tuscany at the time, but will rush to Arthur’s aid when he hears the news, and will also be killed. The heraldic symbols on the usurping knight’s shield reveal him to be Mordred, currently still a boy in King Arthur’s court. The ghost disappears, leaving Gawaine and Guinevere alone together, but King Arthur’s knights take courage, because the darkness has gone, and lead Guinevere to Rondallsete, where dinner is prepared. King Arthur and his knights sit down to dinner, but it is interrupted by a woman, richly arrayed, leading a mounted knight. The knight identifies himself as Sir Galeron, defrauded of land by King Arthur – land which has, ironically, been given to Gawaine – and lays down his challenge. Arthur accepts it, but Gawaine marches into the hall, ready to champion his king, but not without doing Galeron the courtesy of a night’s hospitality first. Now, whilst Galeron rests in preparation for the next day’s jousting, King Arthur calls his lords together, and against his king’s better judgement, Gawaine volunteers to fight Galeron. The two knights are led to the lists the next day, while Gaynore looks on, weeping. They spur their horses, and clash...
The Anturs of Arther: Part 6
Through a pompish pavilion with purple-draped walls,
Embroidered with beads, and dazzling with light,
Gawaine led Galeron past chapels and halls
To a tall-chimneyed chamber where embers burned bright.
They haltered his steed and led him to stall
Where hay hung from hatches: a horse’s delight.
A brocaded bedspread and squires at his call,
They opened the cellar for feasting the knight:
With torches ablaze, and standards between,
Plates to dazzle the sight
Of so worthy a knight,
Of such girth and such height,
With their silvery sheen.
In silver so bright they serve him the best
White wine in the world, in cups of clear glass,
With luscious meats of fowl, fish and beast,
Rich dainties and delicacies smothered with glaze.
And once bold Galeron has gone to his rest,
The King calls for counsel: with anger he glows:
“Take heed my lords, lest your honour is lost:
Which knight will fight Galeron?” grimly he growls.
Sir Gawain says, “King, there is no cause to grieve.
I will fight with this knight
To uphold my right
By my pledge and my plight,
My Lord, with your leave!”
“I know well, said the King, “you are champing to fight,
But I’d not, for a lordship, see your life lost.”
“Let go,” said Sir Gawaine, “God stands with the right:
He shan’t escape scot-free, unscathed by our host!”
And at dawning of day, doughty and bright,
They heard Matins and Mass with no trembling or haste,
Pitched pavilions at Plumpton, their pomp in full sight,
Where no knights before had fought hand to hand.
They set lists on the level, marked out on the land.
Three sops soaked in wine
They brought to Gawaine
To settle his brain
Till the King gave command.
The King gave command to the Earl of Kent
To be kindly and courteous to Galeron the knight,
And bade him on dainties to dine in his tent
While all of his men were armed left and right,
And after Queen Gaynore, glumly they went
While Galeron was feasted under her sight,
And horsemen grasped reins and bade their mounts wait
As lords at the lists reined in to alight –
All but the two strongest: in stirrups they stood.
And King Arthur’s throne
Was set high on the loam.
Gaynore let out a moan
For Gawaine the good.
Gawaine and Galeron spur on their steeds,
All glittering gold their armour and gear,
Led to the lists by two lords in bright weeds,
With men armed with maces to bring up the rear.
Each digs in his spurs, - his horse’s hide bleeds –
And out in the field, each has planted his spear.
Shafts of hard wood are splintered to bits,
For each joys in jousting, and neither knows fear.
Lance-shafts a-shiver, and shields in full sheen,
And with swords sharp and bright
With a mail-splitting smite,
They clash, knight-on-knight,
Gawaine clad in green.
Anonymous northern Middle English romance (15th century), paraphrased by Giles Watson. The last verse of this section does not appear in one of the manuscripts, and it is possible that it has been added by a later scribe. This part of the poem is, of course, much more typical of late mediaeval chivalric romances, and it is possible that there was also a change of author between the disappearance of the ghost of Gaynore’s mother and the arrival of Galeron at King Arthur’s court.
The picture shows a sculpture at Bishopstone Church, and a funerary brass at Ashbury Church, Oxfordshire.
Mass Coastal's ex CDOT FL9s 2026 (blt. Sept. 1957 as NH 2007) leads the Cape Cod Central dinner train here at MP 54.9 on the MassDOT owned and MC operated Cape Main.
The loco is seen on the approach span on the south side of 544 long lift span crossing the Cape Cod Canal. Built by the Public Works Administration, it opened in December 1935 and at the time of its completion was the longest vertical lift span in the world. The classic EMD cab unit is very much at home on these historic ex New Haven Rails where she may have led the Day Cape Codder or Neptune during the summer months in the early 1960s.
Having traveled north from Hyannis the train ran across the bridge an hour earlier to Buzzards Bay as far as Cohasset Narrows before crossing back south to head down the Falmouth Branch so the passengers could enjoy their dinner in view of the gorgeous beaches and inlets. While they were on the branch the northbound MBTA/MassDOT CapeFLYER that left Hyannis one hour behind them passed by headed back to Boston.
As soon as the Flyer cleared they were line up off the branch at Canal Junction and pulled north just far enough to clear the circuit so the switch could be lined and they could start back south down the mainline to Hyannis.

Excerpt from zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E6%A5%8A%E5%B1%8B%E9%81%93%E5%B8%...:
Yeung Uk Road Municipal Services Building (楊屋道市政大廈), also known as Yeung Uk Road Complex, is a multi-purpose municipal building in Hong Kong , located in the old district of Tsuen Wan, New Territories. No. 45 Yeung Uk Road was opened on July 14, 1990. The opening ceremony was presided over by the Deputy Chairman of the Regional Municipal Council , Albert Chan (now a former member of the People's Power Legislative Council) . Facilities in the Municipal Services Building include Yeung Uk Road Market, Yeung Uk Road Sports Center and government offices. Yeung Uk Road Municipal Services Building has a footbridge across Yeung Uk Road , which leads directly to the shopping mall on the first floor of Nina Plaza . Now, Yeung Uk Road Market is managed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department like the Tsuen Wan Market Building , and cleaning is outsourced to the same private contractor.
BNSF 8207 leads a repainted sister SD75M west with empty coal through the trench and under a wooden vehicle bridge just east of Hawley, MN. This location on the Staples Sub was always a favorite as the shooting possibilities were numerous.
This particular day was meant to be spent in the Lake Park/Hawley areas, but I found myself stuck in the Fargo-Moorhead area shooting all the action. I've already uploaded a couple of other shots from earlier on this particular day, one of a Warbonnet SD75M and one of a Bluebonnet B23-7:

He leads me up hills, when I think my weight I can’t carry.
He leads me home, when my bones get wary.
He leads me to a better place, when things gets scary.
He leads me when times get hard.
Not caring my body heavily scared.
He leads me from torment and pain.
Probably the only thing keeping me sane.
If you’re a victim of Gangstalking, Workplace Mobbing; Violence is not the answer. I know it’s a bitch, but don’t let them break you. Start yourself a daily journal. Document everything, don’t dwell on it. If nothing else; these haters are consistent. You’ll start to see their patterns, their ignorance. This can be used against them. If we ever get someone brave enough; in the FBI, Secret Service, any Law Enforcement; to actually do something. Anything, you know, like telling the truth about Gangstalking, Workplace Mobbing. The Root cause of most, of the Mass Shootings.
Try to find an outlet; read, learn, listen, compose. Reach inside and find something that will take you to a better place. If only in your mind.
Gangstalking and Workplace Mobbing, are the major Motives for Mass Shootings. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Recently; many have dismissed the Walmart shootings, as Workplace Violence. They don’t tell you the root cause of this Workplace Violence. The Root Cause Is Workplace Mobbing. It’s one of the many ways an employer, coworkers; can rid themselves of whistleblowers, union organizers. Anyone that doesn’t go along with the status quo of corruption.

Norfolk Southern's Pennsylvania Railroad heritage unit leads coal train 866 beneath the coaling tower north of Marion, Ohio. The structure was built to load coal into Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotives at a location referred to as Harvey. PRR primarily used this route to haul coal trains from Columbus to the Lake Erie coal docks in Sandusky, Ohio. When Norfolk and Western bought Nickel Plate Road and Wabash in 1964, they also purchased the Sandusky District. This enabled N&W to run trains from the south to Bellevue.
18th July 2021 - Rail Operation Groups 37608 Leads 57312 (DIT) After failing earlier during the day with a rake of Mix match Ex Greater Anglia & Arriva Wag MK3's with 37884 trailing DOR. Working was 1Z89 Lichfield City - Buxton. The tour was around 130 minutes late by this point owing to the failure of 57312 at Castle Donnington.
BNSF #7742 leads westbound Roberts Bank export loads along the frozen Yellowstone River at Springdale Montana. In the distance the Crazy Mountains soar 10,000 feet above sea level with Wilsall Peak (10,578), Iddings Peak (10,939), and Crazy Peak (11,178) all snow capped on this cold February afternoon.
AMTK 98 leads P098-24 over the elevated tracks near OB Cabin in Covington, KY as it leaves downtown Cincinnati behind. Today's eastbound Cardinal was running nearly 11 hours late due to a derailment on CSX X641 near Crawfordsville, IN the night prior, making for a rare afternoon shot of an otherwise nocturnal train.
Stay safe everyone.
66415 leads the delayed 6Y14 12.59 Shenfield - Whitemoor Yard L.D.C. GBRf with 20 autoballasters and 66512 on the 23 February 2020. 66415 was named 'You Are Never Alone' at Ipswich on 21 November 2019.
This was my first encounter with an Orange liveried 66 and not sure I could have asked for better conditions.
BNSF 9242 leads a southbound coal train down the grade and out of Palmer Lake, CO.
I initially set out on this morning to catch northbounds out of Palmer Lake in the Greenland Open Space, but when I heard the chugging of a southbound battling the grade, I thought to myself that I would give chase if it was rare power or an ACe...turned out it was this ACe.
For the astute, you'll recognize this road number. BNSF 9242 used to be the unique, Greenface SD60M until the railroad decided to renumber those units to the 8100-series in 2007-2008. I was lucky enough to catch that unit a few times in my railfanning career, but at least it's road number is carried on by an ACe!
