The northbound Texas Eagle arrives at Springfield, IL on Labor Day weekend 1987. The Illinois statehouse looms over the scene.
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.
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.
CP 2313 shoves K11 onto the CPKC Springfield Sub at Murrayville, IL. The crew had pulled these cars from Reynolds in Jacksonville, but an improper spot required them to drop their outbounds here and go back to re-spot the inbounds in Jacksonville. The power-assisted switch here resembles a Y-pattern dwarf signal. This is former KCS-GWWR-ICG-GM&O-Chicago & Alton territory.
Amtrak Engineer Adam Sullivan has just crossed the Warehouse Point Bridge in Enfield with train 450 bound for Springfield, MA.
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.
Connecticut Southern CSO-4 prepares to depart Springfield, MA on a hot Wednesday afternoon, leading the train south is CSOR 2011 and OHCR 8530. Although the heat was brutal and there was a wrong leader, it was nice to get out for a little while.
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.

A photo in Springfield, MO downtown. The area is full of restaurants, bars, breweries, etc. This image is from just across the street from Springfield Brewing Company. So many photo ops in this area as most businesses have embraced the aesthetic and patina of the aging buildings.
