Padded velvet rails for the waterbed arrived a few days back, and I installed them. They make getting in and out of bed a bit easier. The triangular corners at the foot of the bed also give a place to sit. Nice to put on your socks and shoes.
I also cleared off the nightstand and set up the Lava Lite. I felt it belonged. There will not be a blacklight or a Doors poster, though.

These rails lead to a bridge that crosses the Youghiogheny River in Connellsville, PA. The railroad no longer crosses and the bridge (and the supports leading to it) are gradually falling apart.
i dont like shooting towards the sun-who does? but because its the bottle train and a ex conrail, im willing to make an exception.
NSdash9.com says this engine was repainted into the horsehead paint dosent look repainted does it? at least NS left the horn alone, it was surprisingly in tune too.
I ran into this same engine 13 days ago at porter, unfortunately it wasnt the leader.

Coming off the south end of the Humber Bridge, I knew getting the Neville Hill tanks at Brocklesby was going to be tight, so instead of turning east onto the A18, I made a right turn onto the westbound M18 and headed for Althorpe, quite a nice change as it happened.

A Loram Rail Grinder does its work on Track No. 1 of the Fort Wayne Line of Norfolk Southern in Enon Valley, Pennsylvania.
I found these rails last spring while trout fishing and searching for the location at which the Lehigh Valley bridge crossed Cowaselon Creek north of Canastota, NY. I think these may in fact be rails from the Elmira, Cortland, & Northern branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. There are/were 6 rails total, 5 on the south bank, and one was resting on the north side. At the time it looked as though this area of the creek had been dredged and the rails excavated from the water. The right-of-way is a few hundred feet from where I found them. I hypothesize that after the line from Canastota to Camden, NY was abandoned and scrapped in 1938, the bridge and rails may have remained for some time after. When the bridge was finally scrapped, the rails were tossed in the creek for whatever reason. There are 6 rails total, which seems about what it would take to span the creek. I cannot think of any other explanation as to why 6 rails would be this far away from the highway, on both sides of the creek, and coincidentally in such close proximity to a defunct railroad bed? It would be nice these rails could somehow be verified as belonging to the Lehigh, and preserved by some type of historical group. If I make it back this spring, I will update if I find any identifying marks.
NS 7597 leads intermodal train NS 289 southbound over the Potomac River and into West Virginia as it continues its journey south.
Headed out today at about 11AM. I could take the freeway to this spot, but it's a curvy scenic drive and most of the way there I can look over to my left and see the train tracks up against the side of the mountain, and sometimes cruise along with a train chugging up or down the mountain in my peripheral vision.
Arrived a little before 11:30AM. the sun was out and there was a little breeze. I want to say it was close to 70F. when I arrived, but it was probably cooler, and I didn't have a jacket and I regretted it later as the sun kept going behind the clouds and the breeze kept turning into "wind chill". Every time it got too cold for me to stay, the sun would come back out.
I seemed to be the only one up there on a rare, for me, Monday off. Some BNSF workers had trucks about a half mile down the road from me, and over the course of the day I ended up seeing them come and go a few times doing what they do to maintain the tracks.
Started off the day with one train I think and then I wanted to head over to the bridges to hide a copy of my book for someone to find. I wandered around under the bridges for 20 minutes or so, caught a few new pieces there, figured out a nice dry spot to leave a copy of the book and headed back up to the surface. Like a Morlock coming to the surface to snatch an Eloi.
This spot is pretty "railfan" friendly and I saw some people come and film trains, which seemed weird for a Monday, but.. I was out there.
Wandered down to the other end of this massive flat area next to the tracks and got some photos of the stacks of rails, ties, and other railroad related stuff that BNSF takes out of commission, and just seems to stack here out of the way.
Left at 5PM.
Got out of the house, caught some great pieces today and had some fun. Nothin' wrong with that!
Side Note: Sorry about the lack of freight uploads, work, life, and working on another book is keeping me busy.
Cary Goodman of ODOT Rail took a group of representatives from Washington County and the cities of Forest Grove, Cornelius and Hillsboro on a walking tour of the abandoned Portland & Western railway corridor in Washington County. One possible use of the corridor is as part of the Council Creek Regional Trail.
