Just another shot I liked from my day out with the Batten Kill late last year. This was an attempt at a pacing shot from the passenger seat that I never bothered editing until now. Not perfect but still just kind of cool and worth keeping I suppose.
Winter Storm Gail slammed into the northeast mid December and Washington County was absolutely dumped on with over three feet of snow! The Batten Kill Railroad made a rare Saturday run to help open up the entirety of the railroad. They ran light engine with a pair of classic double headed Alcos: G&J 4116 a veteran ex D&H Alco RS3 (blt. 9/52) and SNEX 5012 an ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 (blt. 12/59) stopping along the way to shovel switches and clear the roads of the snow they would push out on to each crossing. After making their way thru the hamlet of Shushan they are on their way to Cambridge.
They are seen here southbound between Shushan and Cambrudge somewhere near about MP A132

Tugboat traffic around Powell River has decreased significantly over the last few years, and now that the local pulp and paper mill is shut down we won't be seeing Seaspan boats very often either. This is the Seaspan Pacer heading south with 3 empty scows out of the frame behind her on a dark winter day.

CNW 6876, an Athearn RTR SD40-2, passes a Santa Fe style cantilever as it leads a manifest comprised of nicely weathered freight cars during NAPM's (North American Prototype Modelers) once a year open house after Trainfest 2016. NAPM's layout is very detailed and is one of the best looking HO scale layouts in the country. The have a flickr too showcasing some great photos of their layout and trains as well that you can check out here-
The photo (the locomotive itself) is slightly blurry, I know, but model trains are small and its pretty tough to match the speed of the train on a layout with your camera lens so all the precise lettering and details are clear. Either way, I think it turned out okay.

One of the very few remaining Illinois Central Geeps leads a local Northbound out of Du Quoin, IL as it makes its way back towards Centralia.
November 26, 2001. Pace bus run 364 has finished its trip in deserted and seedy downtown Hammond, Indiana. It appears there will be no passengers for the run back to Illinois. Just as I was leaving, a young lady approached me offering to sell me a fur coat. I declined.
Since I photographed this, the two buildings across the street have been razed.

One of the places i really wanted to hit in Colorado was the San Luis & Rio Grande which i was hoping to chase some of their Maroon & gold painted engines. I arrived into Alamosa to find this beast tied down the night before this was taken next to the shops. I woke up the next morning to find that the engine and car 820 were gone so I headed east to quickly caught up to the test train heading for La Veta pass at a good clip. I would chase them as far east as Forbes Park before they would get deep into the Pass.
