Frozen Weyerhaeuser.
On a frosty january morning, UP LIW44 shuffles some cars in the Springfield yard limits. This job was part of the package of local operations that got contracted out to CORP earlier this year, tis a shame.
Part of the amazing Sculpture Walk in Springfield, Missouri.
The vision is to "create a museum without walls with access to all. Public art rejuvenates public spaces by transforming them into destinations. Sculpture Walk Springfield will play a major role in the economic rejuvenation of Springfield, MO. Sculptures add to a city's heritage, character, and sense of place and diversity; it adorns a city with distinction, adding to pride of place and a sense of identity."

The Mankato to Aurora train heads out of Springfield going at a slow pace. Don't believe I've seen this angle before, at the compost site if you're curious.
BNSF 7442 leads CN Q116 south on the Holly Subdivision with intermodal containers for Moterm in metro Detroit. The northern portion of the Holly Subdivision twists around the many different march landscapes that dot this portion of the subdivision.
Two CSX units work the yard at West Springfield a couple years ago. The intermodal ramp can be seen in the background with Springfield proper in the distance.
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.
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.
NS 8102 makes a seemingly low-key appearance through Central Ohio, leading NS 179 through downtown Springfield, OH.
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.
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.
