In 1862, President Lincoln signed the Pacific Railroad Act into law, directing the Union Pacific and Central Pacific to build the nation's first transcontinental railroad.
156 years later, I took this picture. :)

Somewhere outside of Pahokee we were chased down a gravel road by two mad dogs. Serious guard dogs that followed the car for half a mile or more biting at the wheels. This railway line seemed to mark the edge of their self-imposed territory and they finally ran off.
Reala did a lovely job of handling tropical sunlight at almost high noon and the color reproduction is spot on. So bummed that it's discontinued, and now feeling pressure to make the last rolls count.
Na het fotograferen van de Dolime van Lineas bij Loon, werd koers gezet naar de provincie Groningen om op de diesellijnen tussen Groningen en Weener/Veendam wat GTW treinstellen van Arriva te kunnen fotograferen. Niet heel spectaculair, maar voor iemand die (bijna) alleen maar treinen ‘onder de draad’ gewend is, toch wel leuk om eens te doen. Omdat de Friesenbrücke over de Eems te Weener in de avond van donderdag 3 december 2015 om 18.40 uur geramd werd door vrachtschip 'Emsmoon' en deze nog niet is gerepareerd, is er sinds die tijd geen doorgaand treinverkeer meer mogelijk tussen Groningen en Leer en dit gaat nog wel even duren. De plannen zijn nog steeds, dat de Friesenbrücke in 2024 is hersteld. Arriva GTW treinstel 301 ‘Riemer en Annie’ is één van de 3 treinstellen in ‘Wiederlinie’ outfit om de verbinding tussen Groningen en Leer te promoten. Het treinstel is als trein 20131 onderweg van Weener naar Groningen als deze bij Ulsda, de plek passeert waar ooit het station van Uslda is geweest.

Alhoewel op de meeste drukke goederenlijnen het DB Cargo is, die de plaag uithangt, is het in het Elbtal toch echt Metrans die me soms de neus uit komt. Toch zijn de 386'ers niet de lelijkste locomotieven dus worden ook deze uiteraard op de foto gezet.
Komende vanuit Tsjechië komt de Metrans 386 008 voorbij Königstein in het Elbtal gereden met een volbeladen containertrein richting Dresden!

Op vrijdag 10 mei 2024 organiseerde de VSM voor fotografen een dieseldag. Het thema was terug naar de jaren 50 en 60. Voor deze fotorit hadden zich zo’n 50 fotografen en een enkele filmer aangemeld. Ingezet werden de 2233, 2412 & 2459, 532 & ‘Sik’ 225. Deze locomotieven trokken gedurende de dag verschillende reizigers en goederentreinen over de Veluwe. De fotografen werden met twee ‘Blokkendoosrijtuigen’ naar de verschillende locaties vervoerd. Naast de treinen hadden de mannen van de VSM ook gezorgd voor verschillende klassieke voertuigen en figuranten.
Bij Oosterhuizen zien we de 2412 & 2459 met hun buurtgoederentrein de overweg in de Wittekruisweg passeren. De heer des huizes van het net niet zichtbare woonhuis, gaat met zijn Opel Rekord (bouwjaar 1968) naar zijn werk terwijl een DAF AY 328 van defensie even moet wachten tot de trein gepasseerd is.

A train streaking by, with a partially visible truck patiently waiting on the other side of the tracks. I set the timer t 1/4 secs to allow for blur as the train passed, although I don't remember timing the shot to catch the passing of an unloaded flatbed car, which caused the transparent train effect.
Coopersville & Marne #7014 crosses Fruitridge Ave in Walker as the caboose hop works its way east to Grand Rapids. This old GTW-era crossing was recently upgraded with LED lights.

I couldn't resist trying to capture this classic strip district scene with mixed interior/exterior lightig, rail road tracks, etc.

An idea I got trying out a sepia and Analog Efex Pro 2 film effect that I’d read in a DPS article online not too long ago (digital-photography-school.com/enhance-your-images-creati...). I was able to recreate the basis of this image with some practice in DxO PhotoLab 3 and Analog Efex Pro 2. Definitely some trial and error in creating the right look that I’d seen in the article!
With this image, I decided to align myself as best as possible capturing a look down the railroad tracks but also balancing the structure of the bridge around me. My thinking was to use those structures to frame the image, so to speak, and focus the eyes to the distant view of trees and that one stationary train in the town of Talkeetna. The mind would see the structure all around, but still be drawn to that small opening. The railroad tracks would also be that leading line in the image.
CCET 5857, a B36-7 from the TTI and before that the Seaboard System, heads up a short train coming into Sardinia, Ohio. I had come to this place not for the trains nor even the signals, instead to acquire detail photos of RoadRailer CouplerMate bogies that had sat here since 2015 - and were still here in summer '24 as per Google streetview imagery - but alas all remnants of them had been carted off before my arrival. It was purely unplanned dumb luck I happened across a train at all here, much less an elusive B36-7. My understanding is this unit does not often lead trains here, so while my luck had run out a bit, I got some of it back suffice to say.
Former Norfolk & Western signals stand tall here despite being tarped over. This line was formerly the N&W's "Peavine" or the Cincinnati District. Portions of the Peavine were railbanked in the early 2000s, while today a chunk of it remains in service with the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad. While I was there, this train rolled in decidedly slow, cut off its cars at the switch, and went to pick up a locomotive in the Sardinia "yard" before slowly slipping out of town once reconnected. They were quite slow in moving around here, which was pretty handy for snagging some shots. That old GE chug was a real delight, too!

A trio of Norfolk Southern engines (ET44AC, D9-40CW, D9-44CW) pull an empty Gypsum train Northbound over the CSX Cartersville Subdivision @ Riverside, on the West side of Cartersville, GA. The train is coming from GA Power's Plant Bowen in Stilesboro, which can be seen in the background.
