The second SD33-ECO rebuild on Susquehanna's roster has just rolled out of the engine terminal and will be put to work on the WS-3 local for the evening.

Several miles west of Portola, CA, on Union Pacific's Canyon Subdivision, sits the Clio Trestle. The trestle flies over Willow Creek Canyon. It was a favorite spot among railfans to catch the eastbound California Zephyr. Today, almost every train crossing this trestle is a westbound, such as this Richmond, CA bound coal train.

After, during and before, with a ‘what might have been’ thrown in for good measure. The Class 69s are all to be returning to Progress Rail in Longport for rectification work / snagging for issues that have become apparent since their original release to traffic (including water egress and excessive engine noise).
69004 and 69002 have already made it to Progress Rail in Longport and have been parked over the weekend in the yard at the far side of the works from the main line. The green body shell has 69013 chalked on the cab side, which makes it the ex-56312. Recently purchased from preservation is 56097, whilst the few remains of 56106 lie upended in the yard.

Looking a bit worse-for-wear, 48164 rests quietly at Progress Rail, Port Kembla. The FreightCorp liveried unit is starting to show hints of its former State Rail Authority 'Candy' livery, and rust, as its paint slowly fades away after sitting out in the open for quite some time.

BNSF SD75M #203 and three other ex-ATSF Warbonnets sit outside the Progress Rail shops in Tacoma, awaiting their next fate. The 51 SD75Ms that were delivered in Santa Fe livery have come to be one of my favorite locomotives on the BNSF roster. Nevertheless, they were a difficult bunch to shoot, especially since they went in and out of storage during their last years on BNSF (in my seven years of railfanning, I have only caught two of these leading). So this will probably be my final shot of these units, the last locomotives ever delivered to the Santa Fe.

CN is currently testing a pair of Progress Rail/EMD Tier 4 SD70ace's in the Edmonton area. Originally the units were restricted to trailing position only, however CN had a change of heart and has been using the demo's in a variety of mainline and local service. After a failed attempt earlier this month, I was finally able to find one of the unique units on the head end of train M311. The crew of M311 has finally gotten a light out of Bissell yard, and will finish building their train before heading west out of town.
Working at the west end of Knoche, this pair of venerable, old AC60s were moving their way to a cut of cars that had been left on the yard leads at the west end of the yard.

Am 22./23.12.2018 erreichten die ersten 10 der 20 von der SNCFT bestellten EMD GT42AC Lokomotiven per Schiff Tunesien. Die 3.250 HP starken Lokomotiven sollen künftig im Phosphatverkehr ab Gafsa eingesetzt werden. Im März 2019 absolvierten die bei der SNCFT als Baureihe 060-DS eingestuften Lokomotiven erste Abnahme- und Schulungsfahrten zwischen Sfax, Gabès, Gafsa und Métlaoui. In der Einfahrt von Ghraiba konnten wir am 07.03.2019 die 060-DS-659 von Gabès kommend ablichten.
At December 22th and 23th 2018 the first ten of 20 ordered EMD GT42AC locomotives arrived at Tunisia in the harbor of Sfax. SNCFT will use the locomotives with 3.250 HP in transporting phosphate from the Gafsa area to the harbors and chemical plants. In March 2019 the locomotives which are numbered as class "060-DS" can be observed with test runs between Sfax, Gabès, Gafsa and Métlaoui. At March 07th 2019 we can take a picture of SNCFT 060-DS-659 south of Ghraiba coming as a light run from Gabès.

Not the coal train I wanted but this will do in my book just as well.

To any fan of the great Southern Pacific Railroad, Norden holds great reverence. It was a place where massive cab forwards roamed. It was where snow clearing operations were once based out of. It housed many clerks, operators, and maintenance personnel who were charged with keeping this mountain pass open during the worst of pacific storms.
Today, Norden is no more than a single shed, protecting a crossover track, and two spur tracks. Traces of Norden's past are wiped away. The random spike, nail, and rotted wooden beam mark where massive wooden snowsheds once wtood. Where houses once protected workers. Where a massive turntable once turned steam engines day and night.
As we enter the winter of 2017-2018, I often fanticize about this place, wondering silently about what life was like. What the sounds were like within it's wooden walkways. What odors would come from passing trains. What the food from the cookhouse tasted like. What stories hogheads would share about their journeys across the Sierra.
Alas, in this generic, standardized, sterile world of modern railroading, one will never get the pleasure of experiencing those thoughts. Yes, the stories will go on, but will not have the drama and panache of those from the grand days of railroading. But, the railroad lives, and goes on. The one constant at this grand place.
The passage of UP 8907 east with an empty grain train will not be as dramatic as the passage of a cab forward with a long string of orange PFE reefers. But, at least the railroad lives, and one remnant of Norden's glory days still stands, the snowshed.
Even a cold day can't cure a sense of humor! The conductor on the UP 9015 east, an empty grain train, sticks a hand fan out the cab window with a big orange frown face. Funny, funny, funny! The train is passing through Casa Loma, CA, along UP's Roseville Subdivision.
