BR Standard 4MT 76079 presses on up the steep gradient to Goathland, passing Thomason Foss. Afterwards I walked down to the waterfall itself, which provided some much appreciated respite from the heat of the sun.
No image can do any justice to the spectacle of this massive standard gauge 2-10-2 tank thrashing up the stupendous 1 in 17 gradient out of Blankenburg and on into the Harz Mountains at Rübeland over a switchback route, some 18 miles distant. On 8th December 2024, DR Class 95.0 No.95 1027-7 had wound its way up to this point from the station in the valley below and the roar of its exhaust was nothing like I have witnessed before. Just two coaches are in tow on this adhesion-worked line, historically the usual passenger train composition.

They will be missed and I will be putting my air miles to use.

Another new and interesting exhibit. This Standard Atlas was apparently found in a lockup, having been stored for years. Someone appears to have been in the early stages of turning it into a camper van; work which looks to have stalled many years ago! The museum decided to put this on display in 'as found' condition, aside from a clean. Unfortunately the DVLA record doesn't tell us when it was last taxed, which is a shame. I think we can assume it was quite some time ago - I'd guess the 1970s.

SD70 #2578 was part of the last round of locomotives ordered for Conrail in the late 90s. That Conrail blue is bleeding through the battle scars on the nose of this Spartan cab EMD as it's sits tied down on the industrial track in Newport PA on the head end of a loaded rail train.

A pair of CN C40-8s lead train R90183 out of Keenan. The train is swinging north at the wye in Keenan to head toward Iron Junction Minnesota.
Though the standard power for years on the Northern Minnesota Iron Range has been EMD products, in my visit in June of 2018 the standard was starting to change to GE. At the forefront of the change in power from EMD to GE are the C40-8s. Though older EMD power still has a foothold it's no where near what it once was.
