CSX Y101 is seen shoving a cut of intermodal cars west past the Springfield Amtrak Station into West Springfield Yard.
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.
After the parade, a walk along the River Welland to Springfields retail outlet and its excellent gardens.
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.
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.
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
Amtrak Engineer Adam Sullivan has just crossed the Warehouse Point Bridge in Enfield with train 450 bound for Springfield, MA.
So, I was browsing IMFDB on Saturday morning, looking for something to build and this caught my eye. This thing has the biggest code of anything I've built yet, 1.42 MB, topping the 1.38 MB SIG P229 and the 1.02 MB USP.
I'm worried the color I picked for the stainless steel might be a bit too green, but I noticed it after it was too late to recolor everything. Thoughts?
There's another pic in my stream showing some of the moving parts.
Oh, and please view it at full size.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Established in 1867 as a place to inter only Civil War Confederate soldiers, many of whom died at the Battle of Wilson's Creek. It has since been expanded and opened to all veterans. Springfield National Cemetery now has the interred remains of soldiers from wars dating back to the Revolutionary War. The cemetery lends its name to National Avenue in Springfield, which formerly passed by the cemetery prior to the southern expansion of the city decades ago.

IC's "Governor's Special" at Springfield, Illinois, Union Station, ready for its return trip to Chicago in March 1971. In less than two months, the train will be history.
This is the view down from the new Springfield Union Station parking garage situated just north of CSXT's ex Boston and Albany main. I'd never been up here before but it offers a nice view down on to CP98 and the passenger platforms with a great view of the downtown core of New England's fourth largest city and the myriad historic buildings. Afternoon light is perfect for photography up here but alas the sun did not cooperate at train time.
Here is CTrail train 4407 departing for New Haven with one of the rebuilt and freshly repainted former Shoreline East GP40-3Hs leading. To see what this unit looked like before her second rebuild check out this earlier photo of mine: flic.kr/p/2kPFMgG
The Amtrak consist at left will follow south 90 min later as shuttle train 475.
The large building directly behind the locomotive is the old post office and federal building constructed in 1832 of polished Indiana limestone in the Art Moderne style. The post office moved out in 1967 and in 1983 the building was sold to the state and has house offices of the commonwealth ever since.

Buffalo Springfield
~~~~~
I was excited to photograph at night at an interesting site full of old vintage train cars and locomotives. My joints and muscles felt sore from my second vaccination, but this didn't dampen my enthusiasm. I met up with my friends Ron, Dave, and Ivan on this beautiful warm March night. The site had much more ambient light than anticipated, but we still managed to make it work. The light is from a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device as well as a full moon and various lights nearby. And yes, as you might guess, the band was named after the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company, which made rollers to level surfaces for roads and railroad tracks. And yes, as you might guess, I have another photo of this steamroller, and I will undoubtedly name that "Buffalo Springfield Revisited".

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

The Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, houses the legislative and executive branches of the government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current building is the sixth to serve as the capitol building since Illinois was admitted to the United States in 1818. Built in the architectural styles of the French Renaissance and Italianate, it was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago. Ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4.5 million.
The building contains the chambers for the Illinois General Assembly, which is made up of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. An office for the Governor of Illinois, additional offices, and committee rooms are also in the building. The capitol's footprint is cross-shaped, with four equal wings. Its tall central dome and tower roofs are covered in zinc to provide a silvery facade which does not weather. Architecture scholar Jean A. Follett describes it as a building that "is monumental in scale and rich in detail." The interior of the dome features a plaster frieze painted to resemble bronze, which illustrates scenes from Illinois history, and stained glass windows, including a stained glass replica of the state seal in the oculus of the dome.
