Shooting CSXT's L010 local is what brought me out here on this lovely autumn morning, but in typical fashion I ended up opportunistically leasing several window trains that passed in the area. Excepting on the old Boston and Albany west of Worcester, vurtually anywhere else in southern New England that you're trackside you'll always find passenger trains to be dominant and freights the rare one offs.
Here is MBTA/Keolis train 714 is seen outbound from South Station to Forge Park on Main 1 of the Keolis/MBTA Franklin Line passing MP 14 as they slow for their stop at Norwood Depot behind MPI HSP46 2000.
Only a half mile apart, the two stations, Norwood Depot and Norwood Central have served the line continuously since 1849 and 1852. Built as the Norfolk County Railroad and ultimately becoming the New York and New England mainline until that road merged with the New Haven in 1898, in the modern era this was known as the Midland Division and today is the MBTA's Franklin Line. CSXT as the direct corporate successor to the New Haven (by way of Penn Central and Conrail) continues to provide freight service on the route.

one of the older E2 series Shikansen trains departs Tokyo towards Nagano...
these trains are quite a marvel and i always had a bit of time set aside during the trip to venture out to train stations to have a look at them in action...

I will be out for the weekend.
Me and my officemates will be having a little outing...
Happy Independence Day everyone!
Metra 2717 was approaching the Wood Dale stop with F59PH 98 running solo. It took them a year or so, but it looks like the fine folks at Western Avenue may have finally gotten the bugs out of this troublesome Canadian Hand-Me-Down.
Thanks go out to the Muffin Man and other various folks for the Heads Up and updates.
Metra F40C 611 pours on the juice to get its Fox Lake-bound scoot back up to track speed after pausing at the Lake Forest depot.

Engineer Dave Shelly has 101-22 in the "Company Notch" on January 22, 2014 at Bayard North. A little cool (47 degrees at 1430) this day, but I'll take it! I live in a wet oven any other time of the year! January 22, 2014.

On the 27th May 2019 the Portuguese Navy frigate 'Dom Francisco de Almeida' (1992, F334) is seen passing the Eddystone Light.
Just after 5:30, an outbound from Hoboken slows to drop off and pick up a few evening commuters. The Arrow III's still look great on NJT's last "Interurban" line in New Jersey. Most trains still run with MU's, which looks like it should continue as we get closer to 2020, but time may run out on them as there is talk of replacements.

The final night of my 2016 trip to England. We'd spent the day in Stamford and Burghley House in Lincolnshire, and by the time we returned to London it was already dark. I made a few hand-held (i.e. not using a tripod) night photos between King's X Station and my hotel near Tottenham Court Road.

The crew of Edgewater Empties works to put their train together at the plant. After some initial issues, they got their train out of town before dark
Northeast Regional train 126 had just departed Washington Union Station as it ducks under the overpass at New York Avenue.

On a pretty late fall afternoon outbound Keolis/MBTA train 515 is westbound on Main 1 of the Worcester Mainline at about MP 11.2. The HSP46 is leaning around the curve as they cross over I95/Route 128 on the old Boston and Albany mainline which has had uninterrupted passenger service since 1834!

A southbound VRE train approaches L'Enfant station. VRE is one of few true commuter rail services in the USA, operating to DC only during weekday morning peak and from DC only during weekday afternoon peak. The State of Virginia recently purchased large portions of hte right-of-way and tracks from host railroad CSX and is planning significant improvements along the route, so this may lead to increased VRE service in the future, and perhaps off-peak and reverse peak trains!

After shooting Pan Am BO-1 here I hung around for a pair of Keolis/MBTA trains that showed up only moments apart both with GP40MCs for power. First up was outbound train 1151 heading to Newburyport. They are crossing the old wood pile trestle over Mill Creek where it empties into tidal Chelsea Creek. This bridge is at MP 5.88 on the MBTA/Keolis Eastern Route mainline and marks the boundary between the towns of Chelsea and Revere. While this former Boston & Maine route is still very busy with commuter trains, the only freight traffic across this trestle is BO-1 that generally operates twice a week and is the last freight train on this line that in days of old was an important thru route to Portsmouth, NH and on to Portland, ME.
The abandoned buildings on the peninsula at left are in the abandoned Forbes Industrial Park in Chelsea. What was once the site of Forbes Lithograph Company was planned to be turned into a high-end housing community, but legal battles have kept this from happening. Forbes manufactured wrappers, labels, and 'invasion money' during World War II and was even a Boston & Maine station stop for decades. Thanks to Wayne Johnson for the historic info on the site.

On a beautiful Sunday evening, F40PH 135, the 'Village of Arlington Heights', leads a nine-car outbound UP-West Line train number 513 at Kilbourn Avenue on Chicago's west side.
One of my "disputed" shots, a westbound piggyback gets on the move out of Proviso. The location is Pine St (I actually checked out the location on Google, the apartment building to the left is still standing) where the C&NW had a signal bridge that has long since been removed. The only SD45's bought without dynamic brakes, I really loved the "flared" look of these locomotives.
