BNSF 3181 works the limestone caverns that provide a constant temperature for storing various commodities. From what I understand there are over 3 miles of trackage underground at this location. Pretty neat operation.
Just another frame of BNSF local Y-SPM220 switching in the caves at the Springfield Underground facility from our trip last summer. To learn more check out the caption with my first post of this scene: flic.kr/p/2mm7sxC

This is a redo of a photo that I had posted this past Fall. After reviewing, I noticed that the color was a lot cooler looking than how the scene was in real life, and some of the shadows needed a boosting. I'm pretty happy with the result, let me know what you think.

Sunset at Lake Springfield, these ducks and geese wintering in for what has been an unseasonably mild year. . .
P&W B23-7 # 2215 is seen leading Connecticut Southern Train CSO-4 into Springfield, MA. This engine is one out of eighty eight engines that will be seeing the torch soon, as the G&W was ordered to by the justice department after falsifying tax credits for rebuilding engines to meet EPA emissions standards.
The NS local from Springfield to Decatur zips along the former Wabash mainline through tiny Niantic, Illinois in rural Macon, county, Illinois. The electrical tower occupies the former Illinois Terminal right of way that paralleled the Wabash across much of central Illinois.
A day off work and the conditions were perfect as we have had ALOT of rain here in Western Pennsylvania lately. Overcast, light drizzle and 59-degrees.
Perfect weather to have a vacation day! ..

It's a wet afternoon in Springfield while this day's NS L06 shoves just one car up the branch to I&O's interchange yard at Warder St.
A little walk through one of Springfield's older parks brought this scene to light. Here is some information...
"Fassnight Park is located at Meadowmere Street between Campbell and Grant Avenues. It contains 28 acres of land with trees and a stream. The Springfield Park Board purchased the land in 1924 from Conrad and Emma Fassnight, who had traveled to Springfield with their parents from Michigan in 1886. The foreman of the Fassnight Park project was Godfrey Messerli. He was greatly skilled as a stonemason and created bridges, the bathhouse, the swimming pool and other structures using the fieldstone and Carthage stone found in the area. The labor was done by the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.).
In 1977 the entire park, including the swimming pool, had deteriorated because of erosion and the fact that the intricate stonemason's work was prohibitively expensive to repair. The pool was closed and the city considering demolishing the swimming pool and bathhouse and replacing them with new state-of-the-art facilities. In the end the city decided to renovate the pool and bathhouse and preserve their unique architecture. This may have been when the waterfall in the pool was removed.
In 1995 a $60,000 water slide was added to Fassnight Pool. It was intended to be a moneymaking venture, with its $3 (later $5) fee helping to fund the swimming pool. An extended pool deck including playground equipment inside the pool area was added later. In 1996 a hard-rubber water serpent was added to the pool. It was tethered to the floor of the shallow end.
Fassnight Park has one of Springfield's most popular pools. The Springfield-Greene County Park Board renovated Fassnight Pool in 2009, and it remains the largest pool in the parks system today."
