On a slow day in May, the kids and I caught this TRRA 104 job pulling 18 coke loads out of the Eastern Connection on the north end of Madison Yard. They would pull "up the hill" through the SH interlocking then shove back down towards the Freight Mains north of SH. They would spend more time building a unit coke train for US Steel in Gary, IN via BNSF & CN. The 104 Job is using the current TRRA slug set 3007/307. Seems like TRRA has had many on and off tests with slugs. I haven't heard how these are working out.

After dropping off their train at Kelim for the Loveland Job, the Windsor Transfer Job runs back lite down Oklahoma Hill just outside of Windsor, Colorado.
English Electric designed CP 1436 starts it's run round at Pocinho, the current end of the Douro Valley line. In days gone by (before 1988) the line ran for a few more miles alongside the Douro River to the Spanish Border. Spain closed this crossing so now the end of the line is here, in the middle of nowhere, at Pocinho. A narrow gauge line also ran from here for a further 100km called the Sabor Line but this closed in 1988 as well. Lonely Planet calls the Douro Valley line 'the journey to nowhere'. Apparently Pocinho takes less than half an hour to have a look around but due to the timetable being as it is, this particular train leaves within 20 minutes. The next one arrives a few hours later! So we, like most of the passengers got off to get some photos and then stayed on for the journey back to Porto.
you can see how many seeps come out of the ground around here, by the amount of liquid (fresh) water still running, despite temps between -7 to -12, and even the salt water in the fjord is freezing over in places...

Only small kids would run behind bubbles so happily.. Although we would love to, our 'grown up' status hold us back from chasing the bubbles..
Why not be a kid for a day even for a minute??? :)
Really underexposed shot, this is the best I could do :(
