Burlington Northern train 203 cruises through Stratford, Illinois, on October 15, 1988. The westbound freight is powered by two members of BN’s huge EMD SD40-2 fleet.
At sunset, an eastbound Milwaukee Road “Sprint” piggyback train approaches Signal Bridge 19 at Sheffield Tower in Kansas City, Missouri, on December 8, 1985. This is on the Kansas City Terminal and this area has changed just a bit, with the signals gone and a flyover passing over the place instead of the interlocking.

Scotrail Sprinter 156 501 approaches Dumfries on a Carlisle to Glasgow Central service. 156436 in the yard will work the 1602 service from Dumfries to Carlisle.
Vanuit Leiden en Uitgeest komen in de avondspits Sprinters aan te Haarlem. Links zijn de 2143+2963+2112 te zien. Rechts twee SNG-stellen, waarvan ik de nummers niet heb gezien.
De 2112 (ex 2002 uit 1975) was op dat moment het oudste dienstdoende treinstel bij NS.
Scotrail 156 pairing of 156478 and 156500 skirt around Loch Dubh as they head west on Tuesday 19th August 2025. The 'Super Sprinters' work the 2Y61 1015 Fort William to Mallaig service, cutting through the stunning scenary that this part of the world has to offer. While the Jacobite services along the West Highland Line dominate the headlines, the ageing Class 156's provide a more traditional and cost effective way to travel along the route.

Photos from Saturday's race at Knoxville Raceway. This track is a semi-banked half-mile dirt oval raceway at the Sprint Car Capital of the World in Knoxville, Iowa.
Individual photos were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens and developed with Darktable 3.6.0. The collage was created with Photoshop..
"Sprinting To Winter"
The weather lately has been an interesting mix of winter, not winter, almost winter, and a bit of autumn hanging around. It definitely feels a bit like being stuck in a perpetual loop of weird weather so I thought I'd take that inspiration and create something fun with it, running toward winter full force, leaving autumn behind!
While editing this, the soundtrack to Home Alone was playing and this image worked perfectly with the frenzied music of the scene when they're all running through the airport to catch their flight, sometimes December feels like that, a sprint to make it to the end of the year without forgetting anything!
Do you like winter? Or maybe autumn is your favourite?
Alfa Romeo Giulia (105 Series) Sprint GT Veloce (1965-68) Engine 1570cc Twin Cam S4

The 105 series Coupe was designed by Bertone and fitted with a 1570cc engine, five speed manual gearbox and coil suspension all round, Early cars had disc front brakes and drum rears, later cars Dunlop disc brakes all round. Later 1966 GT Veloce cars are fitted with twin carburettors and have an output of 109bhp and top speeds of 110mph.
In 1966 the Giulia Sprint GT was replaced by the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, very similar but featuring a number of improvements: a revised engine—slightly more powerful and with more torque—better interior fittings and changes to the exterior trim. The Sprint GT Veloce was introduced at the 36th Geneva Motor Show in March 1966, with production commencing in 1965. The Veloce's type 00536 engine, identical to the Spider 1600 Duetto's, with larger diameter exhaust valves than the outgoing GT model increasing power to 108hp (109 PS) According to the manufacturer top speed now exceeded 185 km/h (115 mph)
Though the Sprint GT Veloce's replacement—the 1750 GT Veloce—was introduced in 1967, production continued throughout the year and thirty final cars were completed in 1968

Too Windy to get out with the cameras. This is from this past December. Chased by a fast moving front, the clouds were moving so fast that morning they were losing their form, stretching out across the sky like gum. The scraggly trees ain't much but man, that sky. Thanks for the look and have a good week.
I captured this coyote sprinting along the auto tour route in the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in Northern California.
The SLT (Sprinter Light Train) is the newest type of Sprinter used by NS, and has been in service since February 2009. The SLT is an electric train, coloured white and blue with yellow details, and is easy to board and disembark from. The Sprinter was designed to transport passengers comfortably over short distances with a relatively large number of stops. Boarding and disembarking is easy thanks to the many wide doors, ground-level entry, spacious carriages and uncluttered interior. Sprinters are designed for metro-like travel for passengers with an average short journey time.
Seen once again in perfect conditions, RL309 and sister QUBE logistics unit RL310 sprint North to Somerton with 7635 empty grain having just unloaded at North Geelong in the states South West.
This train operates from Somerton as #MC4 to Oaklands for loading, before running back as #CM4 to Somerton loaded. From here, the train will either operate to Appleton Dock or North Geelong for unloading. On this occasion, the train went to North Geelong grain loop for unloading.
Once at Somerton after the train has been unloaded, the locomotives run light engine to North Dynon for refueling and prepping for their next run North.

It's a gorgeous April afternoon in Milwaukee, as Soo Line Sprint train 210 departs the tannery crossing after changing crews. Still looking like a Milwaukee Road Sprint train, myself and railroad photographer Greg Mross couldn't help but to take in and photograph this soon to vanish TOFC train.

Andy and Nigel appear to have taken to the water to get a shot of a Northern Rail Class 150 unit crossing the Weaver at Hunts Lock, Northwich (I'm pretty sure they didn't go in). Terry appears to be less convinced about the merits of diving in for a humble DMU.
This was the last shot I took from a fine two day tour of North Cheshire with my fellow Flickerites. The good news is that there are still many more to post once I've finished processing them!!

The guys over at The LEGO Car Blog are running a contest having something to do with appeasing their elves. They say extra kudos points go to the contestants who somehow include an elf in their entries. You may as well just hand the prize to me, boys. Sprint racing is dangerous, dirty and stupid...which leads me to believe the elves will get their little panties in a bunch over this. Seems this foolish elf has discovered his own definition of Sprint Racing!
Northern Rail class 155 Super Sprinter no. 155342 passes Copmanthorpe on 9th July 2022 with 5T93, an empty coaching stock working from Leeds to York.
I decided to return to this location to capture a Class 150 Sprinter which I believe are perhaps more photogenic than the less attractive pacer units. The location is Pontlottyn in the Rhymney Valley of South Wales, with an 09:30 Arriva Trains Wales service from Rhymney to Penarth.
One of the more elusive vehicles in the Wellglade group fleets is 1025 WX06UTR a Mercedes UVM Sprinter that was new to Milton Keynes Community Transport. I believe it was initially allocated to the Midland General licence for the door 2 door service in Derby. It did however at some point receive Unibus livery which is a Notts & Derby operation.
