The final Santa Fe painted engine assigned to Kansas City is tied down at Turner at the west end of BNSF's Argentine Yard after the crew for BNSF train Y-KCK2161-16A went to beans as an SD40-2 assigned to a hump job creeps past while shoving a cut over the crest.
Both of these locomotives are RCO-equipped, however, the GP39-2 is used by conventional jobs at Turner despite still having all of its RCO gear. 6/16/24.
An RCO yard job pulls a cut of cars through CP ALLEN before shoving them back into bowl of the hump. A nice sampler of Allentown's yard power is on the consist with a rebuilt SD40E, GP38 Highood, and an Ex N&W SD40-2.
After an RCO (RedCrystalOrganism)infection in 2020 centurion 7 was totally destroyed. So the Ingeneer Team had to plan and rebuild the whole station.

For many years, CSX's Wyoming Yard was synonymous with MP15s and GE drones. Here we see regularly assigned MP15AC #1177 working with RCPHG4 #9249 on the Y193 switching job on the Old Even. The drones like #9249 contained the remote control equipment necessary for RC operation, making any locomotive they were paired with RC. Eventually CSX realized that maintaining the power-less drones was too expensive, and the RC equipment was moved to conventional locomotives instead.
The inbound UP train on the left has been waiting to get into Global III for almost 3 hrs now as the SD40-2R's RCO units on the right are assembling a Kline train for a outbound move scheduled at 1900hrs. Global III has been plugged since early this morning with 3 waiting inbounds to get in, 2 from the west and 1 from the east. The one pictured is the first from the west with another parked behind him.

An RCO job using a pair of Ex-MP GP38-2's is busy switching cars at UP's Quindaro Yard at the Fairfax District in Kansas City, KS. 8/15/21.
UP standard cabs work a Green River RCO yard job in front of the former passenger station, on October 7, 2022. SD40N No. UPY 335 is a former UP SD40-2.
The two RC units, 1822 and 1818, both SD40N's, work the yard at Global III in Rochelle,IL, while Road Units behind them put their Ethanol train back together after a service inspection and prepare for a westbound departure.

With two local companies painting buses in heritage West Yorkshire Road Car Co liveries it was only right to try and put them together in natural surroundings. A favourable allocation on the X84 for 37675 and connexions buses letting me borrow their omnicity for an hour after its X53 duty resulted in the capture I had been hoping for. This is just west of Otley on the A660 with 37675 heading for Leeds on the X84 and connexions Scania berthed in a suitable layby. West Yorkshire RCo had a depot in the town which still survives as a kwik fit garage. It had an allocation of just over a dozen buses. It closed on 31st March 1990 being replaced by various yards with outside parking around the town, before complete closure with the last drivers & buses moving to the main depots in Leeds a few years later. Sincere thanks to those who made this shot possible, its appreciated.

BNSF 2104 leads the M-DILGFD (Dilworth, MN - Grand Forks, ND) west through downtown Fargo, ND.
BNSF 2104 was originally ordered as SP&S 201 and was built in Feb '70, but because of the merger it was delivered as BN 2073. I believe this unit has since been scrapped. Interestingly, this was the third RCO unit I caught leading the M-DILGFD. The DILGFD was a daily (as I recall...it could have also been weekday only) late afternoon run and could be counted on to have decent power. That second unit looks like an ex-SP tunnel motor, although I have no recollection of it and made no mention of it in any of my notes from that particular day. With that being said, I remember without even looking that I shot this with the "Nifty 50", Canon's sweet, little $80 50mm lens. Funny how you can remember details like which lens you used yet not remember anything about the tunnel motor!
This was a fantastic day down in the Fargo-Moorhead/Hawley area. Other shots from this day I've already uploaded include:

The 2715's RCO is being put to good use as both crew members are on the front porch of the caboose at the other end. They are heading for the Union Cutoff to switch out tank cars at Brenntag, just around the corner.
Q318 rolls east through Russia on yet another miserable, dark, rainy and windy day. This has been one of the wettest springs in recent memory for this area, with over three inches of rain recorded in as many days.

This is NGC 2217, a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation of Canis Major, The Great Dog. It has a set of spiral arms tightly wound with a bluish colour. They form an almost circular ring around the galaxy. This blueish colour indicates the presence of hot, luminous young stars born out of interstellar gas clouds.
Contrasting this is the central bulge and bar region. This area is golden/yellower in appearance as it contains older stars. I especially love the two thin tight arms around the central bar. It looks like an eye looking back.
