Yongnian Rd., Shanghai
This is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Shanghai and is in the process of being demolished.
During my 2017 visit back home to Colorado I had some time to spend along the Jointline. It had been a number of years since I had visited and I definitely noticed some changes. Such as this bridge across the tracks in Sedalia, a nice addition for sure. BNSF coal loads climb towards the summit of the Palmer Divide at Palmer Lake. The SD70Ace was a nice bonus.
Union Pacific GP38-3 No. 2521 and GP39-2 No. 2372 pull 20 loads of limestone through Leland, Utah on the Tintic Industrial Lead the morning of Sept. 22, 1998. The D&RGW hoppers were loaded at Geneva’s Keigley quarry in Genola and will be delivered to Geneva’s steel mill in Vineyard.
Still hungry for some trains, we continued to Zeebrugge, hoping to still catch the HSL car train to Germany. We were late though, but there were still some class 66 locos roaming around. We caught RTBC's PB 14 with a car train at the north end of the Pelikaan yard.

Ethanol loads head for Motiva Enterprises in the Port of Providence awhile back. Despite this being well after the P&W went over to the dark side, two properly-painted units lead the charge through Millville.
CSX R202 begins loading its 75-car train with Greenbrier Smokeless Coal in Anjean, WV. This loadout only loads a handful of trains every year, so this train was tied down for 3 days before the mine had enough coal to load all 75 cars.
Indiana Railroad's Bear Run Mine to Hoosier Energy Merom Powerplant coal loads roll downgrade out of Sullivan, Indiana with a pair of the railroad's "new" SD70Ms on the point. After some low water trouble with the lead locomotive between Sullivan & Duggar, Engineer Chris Vasen now has the train rolling again only a few miles from spotting the train at the plant.
CSX R231, the 5am Hazard crew, eases hoppers under the batch loader at Typo on the famed EK Subdivision. They are starting on their 8th car of this Georgia Power train bound for Plant Bowen.
CP's Fording River Sub was built for one purpose, to move coal from Fording Coal's three mines to export market. The 32 Mile line, north of Sparwwod BC sees multiple unit coal trains each and every day.
On a warm August afternoon, a southbound loaded train from the Fording Mine passes a counterpart that is finishing loading at the Elkview Mine.
I loved the dark burgundy section of this tunnel. Being lucky enough to catch the light trail passing through the centre of the frame really adds to it too (and that red glow reflection on the poster!).
Moments prior I had been taking shots just before the tunnel. A couple of guys wandered past and stopped. My heart sank- they were going to engage us in conversation. I always feel so, so awkward as I really just want to take my photographs and be left alone. They were perfectly nice but there were loads of questions about what Michael and I were doing. Anxiety levels increased, embarrassment increased. Argh.
Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3661 leads a 40-car Malad Local past an old sugar beet loader at Ford siding west of Bear River City, Utah on Aug. 3, 1993.
Four of BMLP's E60s slowly inch a coal train through the loadout silo of the Peabody Kayenta mine. After the 1-2 hour loading process the train will return to Page, where the coal will eventually fuel the Navajo Generating Station which has since shut down. This picture was taken on the first of two trips I made to the line after three announcement they would be shutting down the plant and railroad by 2020.
Slogging away from a large spring thunderstorm we find CN taconite loads from the Fairlane plant in Forbes, Minnesota bound for Proctor and the Duluth docks on the way south behind three different SD40's -2 or -3 which ever you prefer. I kept missing the lightning bolts, but just as well I was glad I stayed with this guy and had sun all the way south and did not stay north and get soaked for 4 hours of rain . . .

Two different versions of SD70's howl up Logan Hill with loaded hoppers. In the background are two Union Pacific empties snaking north around Antelope Mine on the right.
Seen on Multnomah St in Portland, Oregon. Happy Truck Thursday!
