A BNSF local with motive power that should have been on a Santa Fe intermodal (10 years ago) rolls eastward on BN's Ottumwa Sub heading for Galesburg.

This was taken locally during flooding at the end of last year. It's a proper flood plain so is supposed to flood. I don't do topsy-turvy images but I thought this might work when I took it. Should I take the trees out at the bottom? I like that some of the grass can be seen under the shallow flood at the top.

It was chaos because even though we knew Santa was coming down the road, my only picture was of him being drawn away with a car instead of reindeer. Every year he arrives to say hello. My grandson is enthralled with the spectacle.
The green grass of Utah farm country blows gently in the spring breeze as UP 3967 briefly interrupts the peace as it blasts westward through Santaquin, UT on Union Pacific's Sharp Subdivision.

Conrail shared assets local train SK-13 (doing leftover work from M-F job OI-14) is seen light engine westbound on the Waldo Running Track coming under Tonnelle Ave. They had just pulled a long cut of flats loaded with empty trash containers down toward end of track beneath Journal Square and have run around and are heading back toward the main. To the right are the PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) mainlines via the tunnels to Lower Manhattan.
The Waldo Running Track used to be a continuation of Conrails P&H (Passaic and Harsimus) Line. Prior to 1994 all north south trains to and from the River Line main passed this way and diverged north at CP WALDO (now gone). But now this trackage is just a dead end runaround that extends maybe a quarter mile behind me. It is used only by these locals that pull trash cars in here to run around and then shove back around past CSXT's South Kearney Yard and down the Central Avenue Industrial Track. Down at the end of that lead is the NJRC (New Jersey Rail Carriers) transfer point where containers of waste are loaded on to COFC flats for movement west on NS train 63V to Mingo Junction West Virginia for hand off to the Ohio Central railroad for final delivery to a land fill located off the old PRR Panhandle Line.
In days of old all of this was former Pennsylvania Railroad territory and until 1959 the PRR ran suburban trains to and from their Exchange Place station on trackage shared with the affiliated Hudson and Manhattan (today's PATH) thru here. The H&M opened the station here at Journal Square, then known as Summit Avenue in 1912 and the disused catenary poles and remains of the old electric infrastructure date from the PRR's 1930s electrification project. The weedgrown far tracks that the local occupies once led to PRR's Harsimus Cove freight terminals on the Jersey City waterfront.
If you'd like to read more here is a great story about operations in the North Jersey area during the Conrail era that explains some of the traffic patterns and routings I described: railfan.com/wiseguys-wayfreights-conrail-north-jersey/" rel="noreferrer nofollow

Usually the territory of geeps, the Superior transfer sometimes ends up getting some larger power based on how many cars go one way or the other. Seen here getting ready to cross over 28th street, CP 8729 and KCSM 4552 prepare to take the curve into Stinson Yard with it’s short train for the yard power to break down and sort. In the background stands the old Peavy grain elevator, sporting a large hole in the side thanks to an explosion it had some time before this, which thankfully still sports the old Peavy name despite it today being owned by Viterra.
