CSX Y101 is seen shoving a cut of intermodal cars west past the Springfield Amtrak Station into West Springfield Yard.
CSX 4774 leads the I196 over Sulphur Fork Trestle near Springfield, TN on the first day of 2026 on CSX's Henderson Sub. 1.1.26
Aside from stitching together about 6 shots I took, this is pretty much right of the cam, light and color-wise. had to stop on my way to an appointment and get a few shots of it. This is about a 180' view from South to North.
After the parade, a walk along the River Welland to Springfields retail outlet and its excellent gardens.
Kiwirail DXC 5108 is op 5 november 2025 bij Springfield onderweg met de TranzAlpine vanuit Greymouth naar Christchurch. De trein is in de ochtend als trein 803 naar Greymouth gereden en is op de foto als 804 op haar terugreis te zien. Omdat de ochtendrit een erg geslaagde foto geworden was, werd er voor de (fout voor de zon) terugrit eens een “ander” standpunt ingenomen. Op de foto laat de trein de bergen van de Arthurs Pass achter zich voor het laatste halfuur tot Christchuch. De berg op de achtergrond is de Castle Hill.
Connecticut Southern CSO-4 pulls up Springfield, MA on a hot summer morning. This train would pull clear of the switch and shove their train across the Connecticut River into West Springfield Yard
NS 255, the world-famous Triple Crown RoadRailer from Detroit to Kansas City, crosses the I&M at the now-closed Shops Tower in Springfield, Illinois after getting nailed by a defect detector just outside of town. Leading the train is one of only a handful of unrebuilt NS C44-9Ws left on the roster.
Looking across the Lea Valley towards Walthamstow just after sunset. The River Lea is just visible at the bottom of the hill behind the trees, with Springfield Marina beyond the tennis courts just left of centre.
The lights are flashing and the gates are down on Front Street but 1st Street hasn't activated yet as a motorist scoots acroas to avoid getting blocked by approaching CSXT train M42508 (West Springfield to Selkirk manifest) which is in the process of doubling up their train east of MP 101 on Main 1 of modern day CSXT's Berkshire Sub mainline. They will soon pull up and block both crossings before getting underway for an overnight trip across the mountains and over the Hudson to the Al Perlman's massive yard southwest of Albany.
The railroad was completed as a thru route to Albany in 1842 and the freight house here was built between 1870 & 1875. The Boston & Albany came under control of the New York Central in 1900, but the B&A name continued to be used until about 1950 for political reasons, and the corporation was not actually formally dissolved until 1962. This side of the station, while lovingly preserved as a local house of worship, has been been modified slightly and repainted over the years removing the historic railroad markings, but the east side still shows the faded Boston and Albany lettering more than 70 years after that name was last applied anywhere by owner New York Central.
This whole scene will change dramatically in a few years as MassDOT has plans to built an overpass here and I worry how it will impact this beautiful old structure, but on the positive side it may open up new photo opportunities in both directions. To read about the plans for it see this link:

Sometimes the railroad's woes are the railfan's wins...and that was the case for the five of us on this day!
P40DC 6711 leads CTrail train 6455 southbound for New Haven running as a double draft. Northbound CTrail train 6402 had broken down just outside its final destination as P40DC 6701 (blt. Nov. 1993 by GE as AMTK 834, acquired in 2005 and rebuilt by Beech Grove in 2019-2020) suffered ground faults and sat disabled on the curve beneath Interstate 91 for over two and a half hours. The two passengers aboard were taken off the train and then management ultimately decided to leave the train until the next northbound showed up. After being rescued by train 6454 the two sets (one with three Mafersa coaches and one with three MBBs) shoves into the station and made a quick turn as this train. This view looks north off the pedestrian bridge right at MP 61 on Amtrak's ex New Haven Springfield Line main. Fortuitous timing allowed for this rolling meet with exactly two hour late Amtrak shuttle train 460 finally arriving after suffering equipment problems of it's own down in New Haven.
Springfield is New England's fourth largest city and has a compact but surprisingly impressive skyline mixed with modern and historic architecture. A close observation will note the 300 ft. Italianate style Campanile clock tower which dates from 1913 and is part of the municipal group collection of city government buildings. Due to a legal height restriction in Springfield imposed by the Massachusetts State Legislature in 1908, the Campanile remained the tallest structure in the city until 1973 when Bay State West (now called Tower Square) was built. Its views would remain largely unobstructed until the construction of Monarch Place in 1987 which is 100 ft taller and dominates this scene.

Steam powered roller built by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company of Springfield, Ohio. Shop No (serial) 11523 is stamped on the name plate.
John A. Pitts produced Buffalo brand threshers in Buffalo, New York, in 1851; his firm was known as Pitts & Brayley when Pitts died in 1859. Portable steam engines were added in 1860, and by 1866, the firm had been renamed Brayley & Pitts Works, named for John B. Pitts and James Brayley, John A.’s son and son-in-law respectively. Pitts Agricultural Works was incorporated, also in Buffalo, in 1877, and the firm was called Buffalo Pitts Company by 1897.
The Buffalo Pitts name had been used since at least 1892, when the Buffalo Pitts Niagara Road Roller steam roller (three-wheeled roller) was in production. Roller production was assigned to a subsidiary, Buffalo Steam Roller Company, by 1901. Buffalo Steam Roller merged with Kelly-Springfield Road Roller Company in 1916 to form The Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company. Buffalo Pitts ceased operations in 1935.
I photographed this Buffalo-Springfield roller at the Museum of Transportation near St. Louis, Mo.
As light fades behind an approaching cold front, BNSF 9570 rolls east through downtown Springfield, OH, leading NS 305 towards its next stop at Columbus, OH.
CSX Intermodal train IO25 overtakes a slower manifest in the hole at Springfield, TN on New Years Day
Springfield Falls is located on Falls Road in Leesburg, PA, near Grove City.
To the right of the falls is Bruno Fine Art Jewlers, which has limited all access to their side of the stream bank. The woods surrounding the falls was at one time the site of the Springfield Iron Furnace, which was the first Iron Furnace of Mercer County, circa 1850. The water from Hunter's Run powered the second tallest wooden water wheel in the United States at 38 feet. The power from the wheel was used to heat the bellows, allowing the furnace to reach temperatures of over 2500 degrees.
The late winter sun tries to sneak over onto the north side of the tracks here at the Farmward Co-Op near Springfield where the resident GP10 retains its Illinois Central Gulf number.
Beneath the glow of the Pillsbury elevator at Springfield, Illinois, Chicago and Illinois Midland EMD RS1325 No. 30 and SW1200 No. 20 rest near the railroad’s shop in the twilight of a March 1984 day. Simply put, a RS1325 is a end-cab switcher on a longer frame with a GP20-style nose and Flexicoil trucks. C&IM had the only two built and they still operate today on home trackage for Illinois & Midland Railroad.

I'm not sure if this building is actually still functioning as a hospital. It looks as though it's been/being converted to apartments. It was originally a 'Pauper Lunatic Asylum!' Some of the surrounding buildings, old & new are still in use.
Here is my version of Springfield "Town Hall"
Part of the "Springfield Project" I'm working on for my LUG.
