Una de las cosas que no quería dejar pasar este año era pillar los desvíos de mercantes por la costa en Cataluña.
Aprovechando que daban sol bastantes días, nos calentamos y salimos a las 2 de la mañana el lunes de Madrid, para plantarnos a las 8 en nuestro primer punto de caza.
Una de las fotos que más me gustó fue el segundo día, cuando nos vino este TECO con una 251 impecable, me apeteció sacarla más de cerca a pesar del cable sabiendo que no habría problemas de limpieza de graffitis.
Here's a scan of an old print from long ago. I don't have access to my old hand written notebooks so I don't know when this was taken but I certainly know where. This is a Conrail local out of Middleboro working the small former New Haven (originally Old Colony) yard near Battleship Cove in Fall River. They are kicking up a little dust after spotting up a pair of mechanical reefers at the State Pier and crossing Water Street.
I don't know what year this was taken but it was before the Conrail split in June 1999. My guess is spring of 99 because the influence of soon to be owner CSXT is apparent. New England was long a bastion for GE products with Conrail assigning B23-7s almost exclusively to their myriad local assignments. But then seemingly overnight they just vanished and we awoke to a world of just geeps....one we still inhabit to this day. It is also clear that the unit behind this 1979 built GP38-2 is a CSXT unit dressed in YN2 paint as given away by the yellow handrails and different shade of blue. Beyond that I know little else about this shot other than that I like it.

CRI&P X-SP6562West crosses the Canadian River near Logan, NM on March 04, 1974. I want to say this was RI Tr#61 and therefore not an extra but I really don't remember. At any rate all of these "dirty mty's" will most likely be forwarded to the PFE facility in Tuscon after arrival in El Paso.
Standing at the sides, I wanted to go on the rocks and traverse to the edge of this reef just to see what's at the end. Laziness got the best of me so I just photograph the sides. Now I wish I've gone that extra mile, though.

On Easter Sunday, the crew on LBU53X out of Butler have been called for a run down the Clyman Subdivision to Jefferson. They've spent most of the day at their tasks of spotting a long string of U.P. reefer storage cars and two loads for the coop on the north side of Jefferson. With their work completed, the duo of UP 1024 and UP 1480 are now light power and are finally beginning the run back north for Clyman Junction and then Butler for the tie-up. Here they clattering over the diamond at Jefferson Junction as the crew checks in with the dispatcher. There's not any mainline traffic, so it sounds like it'll be a quick run back to Butler once they reach the mainline.
The caboose at right, CNW 10958, along with the font of the office sign help make the heritage of this area pretty obvious, despite the UP shield on the power and office door. "JJ" was once the crossing of the CNW mainline from Fond Du Lac to Janesville (which the LBU53X is on) and the mainline from Waueksha to Madison. Both lines have been significantly trimmed down, and with the dwindling of industries on the modern-day Clyman subdivision, this junction is quite sleepy compared to even a couple decades ago. Still though, just being able to see something still clattering through the diamonds here in 2021 is a neat sight in my book, especially from this elevated view.

Frisco westbound freight "QSF" passes under Santa Fe tracks. Oh yes, there HAD to be a caboose, or at least there used too be. And a reefer car too. If that Santa Fe boxcar has the right kind of trucks, it could be an express boxcar for passenger service, but pressed into freight service now.
