The water rail is a bird of the rail family which breeds in well-vegetated wetlands across Europe, Asia and North Africa. Northern and eastern populations are migratory, but this species is a permanent resident in the warmer parts of its breeding range. ( Never seen one before either )
A wider take on this scene moments before sunset.
Having completed turning this welded rail train on the yard lead via CPF 197 and 196 this CSXT/Pan Am Rigby yard crew is headed back to the yard with the train as they catch the last glow of evening sun. It will be doubled to the rear of M426 and head to Waterville the next morning ultimately destined for the track project going on between Northern Maine Junction and Mattawamkeag as CSXT rebuilds the old Maine Central mainline they purchased last year.
The crew has a nice merger pair of geeps in the form of MEC 514 and CSXT 2548, the former of which is a GP40-2W blt. Apr. 1976 as CN 9655 and the latter a GP38-2 blt. Nov. 1973 as SCL 548 and delivered in black and yellow. They are on Main 1 of 1500 ft long double track bridge over the Fore River with the warehouses of Merrill's Marine Terminal (owned by New England based Sprague Energy since 2005), an important railroad customer, visible at center behind the train.

After a day of dropping welded rail along the Bergen County Line, NJT X4105 shoves across the Saddle River Bridge in Garfield, NJ. The trio of passenger geared GP40 variants include former CNJ GP40PH-2s 4105 and 4112 bracket the 4200, a GP40PH-2B of Conrail heritage.
Rail tracks are used on railways (or railroads), which, together with railroad switches (or points), guide trains without the need for steering. Tracks consist of two parallel steel rails, which are laid upon sleepers (or cross ties) that are embedded in ballast to form the railroad track. The rail is fastened to the ties with rail spikes, lag screws or clips such as Pandrol clips.

MRL 259 and 255 have the honors of bringing rail up to Tuscor, the location of a recent derailment of about 30 coal cars. This was the first train we ran into on our MRL adventure.

Exploring your neighborhood train station at night without a tripod makes for creative choices when looking for a secure spot to rest your camera on.
A Water rail (Rallus aquaticus) on the river Alver. Came as quite a surprise to me. Managed to get two shots before it disappeared into the reeds making its characteristic sound of a squealing pig.
A shelter and small park along the Albany County (NY) Rail Trail, built on a site near the intersection of two rail lines which has traditionally been a destination for local trainspotters. Saved in Colorefex using Fujifilm Velvia filter (an old film favorite).
MC GP50 #2010 and GP9RM #2008 lead a welded rail train under Clark St in Somerset. The rail is for Massdot’s South Coast Rail Project. A little less than a mile south of this location will be the MBTA’s layover facility at Weaver’s Cove.
This Rail was uncharacteristically out in the open, not shy at all and afforded me some of the closest looks I've ever gotten of a Sora. I was squatting and this bird foraged right up to me, within about 5 feet. The waters are high right now, and so many areas of marsh grass where these birds are usually hiding, are currently submerged. Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
Looks that way 😀
These are railway tracks in the Pondicherry reservation - hopefully not used often by trains - because they're also used as a trail
WWT Slimbridge.
Smaller and distinctly slimmer than the Moorhen, the Water Rail is a fairly common but highly secretive inhabitant of freshwater wetland. It has chestnut-brown and black upperparts, a grey face and underparts, black-and-white barred flanks, and a long red bill. Difficult to see in the breeding season, it is relatively easier to find in winter, when it is also more numerous and widespread. (RSPB).
My thanks to anyone who clicks or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
The combined 6,800 Horsepower of CP 6262 & 6013 have no issues taking a CWR train west toward their next rail dropping destination at around mile 4 of the North Toronto.

Ridgeway's Rail (Rallus obsoletus)
Life has been crazy and I'm very behind in catching up with everyone on Flickr. I spent the last 8 days birding on the west coast and am now home exhausted. One of the birds on my wish list was this Ridgeway's Rail. Because they are secretive, it's a bird I wasn't counting on seeing. But, amazingly, on my very first day while searching for a different bird this guy just walked right out of the reeds in front of me. Nice way to start the trip. As a bonus there were also multiple Soras and a Virginia Rail also walking around in the open. Crazy California birds.

Por la rotella, una impoluta 1900 trata de cojer velocidad despues de haber superado casi toda la rampa de la línea Xixon-Villabona, aquí la vemos con el vacío de caliza procedente de Poago y con destino la cantera del Naranco
FEC 415 comes around the curve at Masterson Street with a loaded rail train.
The rail is about to get dropped for the second main that is being built for Brightline's Orlando extension. Train 415 would pull their entire train up to the crossing behind me and begin dropping rail. Although not obvious from this perspective, the second main will be just to the left of the train.
