Chicago Burlington and Quincy EMD E5 9911A and Atlantic Coast Line E3/E6 501 were looking fantastic at Spencer Shops during the fantasticaler Streamliner event.
It was a great weekend in Carolina amongst some tasty BBQ and beer.

Norfolk Southern train 044 crosses the Dan River in Danville, Virginia, with seven "streamliners" in tow. SD40-2 number 6105 has the honors of leading the parade of classic cab units away from the "Streamliners at Spencer" event. This batch of units will run west towards Chicago, dropping engines along the way so they may return to their homes. The consist includes Chicago Northwestern 411, Burlington 9911a, Nickel Plate Road 190, Iowa Pacific 515, Soo Line 2500a, Canadian National 6789, Wabash 1009, and an NS bay window caboose.
The Salt Lake City Diesel Shop was a major repair facility on the Union Pacific. We used to see all kinds of interesting power at North Yard for repairs. On August 1, 1978, E9 No. 951 was in town and parked adjacent to South Tower.
Passengers are disembarking from PRR 121, the "Midday Congressional" from New York, at Washington Union Station on April 2, 1967; the 4897 has, understandably, turned the heads of the two guys in dark jackets at the left of the picture.

Seemingly lifted right out of the 1960s the Union Pacific's famed City of Los Angeles streamliner flashes across the Nevada high desert crossing an old art deco stylized bridge over South Las Vegas Blvd. on the UP's former Los Angeles and Salt Lake Route. While that of course is just a dream what this actually is is pretty cool in its own right. Out of sight on the head end of this blur of Armour Yellow is Union Pacific's legendary never retired Alco 4-8-4 #844 leading train SYRLV-20, the Arizona Centennial Special. The train is headed to Las Vegas where it will overnight beside the then still open downtown yard office (road crews had not yet been moved out to Arden Yard) after a run east up the Cima Sub. Tomorrow they'll continue on toward Salt Lake and ultimately to Ogden and eventuallyhome in Cheyenne after a long tour of the southwest celebrating one hundred years of statehood for the Grand Canyon State.
Today this is known as Union Pacific's Cima Sub and this is right about MP 304.7. This route is one of my favorite and most underappreciated western mainlines and it's last spike was driven at a little remarked location just northeast of where this was taken.

The development of the railway line that became the LA&SL began in 1871 when the Utah Southern Railroad began laying track southward from Salt Lake City. The Utah Southern, controlled by the larger Union Pacific Railroad (UP), built a line to a station known as Juab, Utah, in 1879. From there a second UP subsidiary known as the Utah Southern Railroad Extension took up the work, completing trackage as far as Milford, Utah, in 1880. By the end of the century, these and other lines had been absorbed into the Oregon Short Line Railroad, a far larger UP subsidiary.
Work on extending the Milford line southward began by 1889, but no tracks were actually laid due to financial issues. Construction resumed in 1899 when the route was completed as far as the UtahāNevada border. Grading work extended into Nevada, and the UP's stated intent was to continue the line all the way to southern California.
Another player entered the scene in 1900, when William Andrews Clark acquired the struggling Los Angeles Terminal Railway with an eye to extending the line northeast to Salt Lake. The railroad was reincorporated in 1901 as the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad, and Clark announced plans to construct a line between Salt Lake and southern California. Clark assembled political and financial supporters to assist in the project, both in California and Utah. The competing Union Pacific Railroad and its formidable leader E. H. Harriman stood in opposition to Clark's plan.
Clark's forces began construction work in Nevada, along the existing UP grade, and a brief "railroad war" ensued before Clark and the UP called a truce in 1903. Their agreement called for Clark's railroad to acquire the existing UP trackage south of Salt Lake City. In turn, the UP received a 50% interest in Clark's railroad. Construction of the remaining line proceeded rapidly to Daggett, California, where it connected to the ATSF, and the complete Salt LakeāLos Angeles line was opened on May 1, 1905. In California, Clark negotiated a trackage rights agreement from Daggett to Riverside, California, allowing his new line to use the existing Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway route over Cajon Pass, in lieu of constructing its own tracks across the pass.
On April 16, 1916, the railroad's stockholders voted to remove "San Pedro" from the corporation's name. The former town of San Pedro had been consolidated within Los Angeles in 1909. The LA&SL operated independently until April 27, 1921, when the UP agreed to acquire Clark's half-interest in the railroad. After 1921 the LA&SL lines were operated as part of the UP system, although the LA&SL corporation continued to exist on paper until January 1, 1988.
Other than portions in the greater Los Angeles area the entire mainline remains in service as a critical transcontinental route for the modern day UP split into three subdivisions, the Lynndyl, Caliente, and Cima from east to west respectively.

8878 Hopper Transfer from Port Augusta to Lithgow was operated by SSR Streamliners B61 S317 GM27 GM10 and S302, ahead of 96 empty coal hoppers.
Starting at Blayney, this series of images follows the train through to Bathurst (where they left the hoppers) and then onto Lithgow.
Locations are attached to each photo.

On Saturday 22/10/2022, AK82 (ARTC track inspection train) is seen very close to the end of its journey, passing Adelaide Showground station (Adelaide) with Chumrail-owned 42103 & SSR veteran GM10 in charge.

Devoid of her streamlining casing, Gresley LNER A4 Pacific 4468 Mallard still cuts a fine sight as she leaves the confines of the NRM after restoration in September 1985.
The ECML main line and York Minster are in the background.
Personally, I prefer it before the streamlined vallance, or side skirting, was re-applied, as in this photo. These were first removed during World War II to ease maintenance and not replaced until after preservation in 1963.

A variety of locos and colour schemes are displayed around the Goulburn turntable during the 2022 Streamliners event with centre stage going to CLP9 on the turntable on 1-10-22
One of the most amazing sights to grace South Australian rails for quite a few years was the appearance of Southern Shorthaul Railroad's vintage bulldogs S317/GM27/GM10/S302, seen near Winninowie, on a wagon transfer from Port Augusta to New South Wales.
More amazing is that these four locos were all in attendance at Streamliners 2016 in Goulburn, NSW just a month ago.
The hoppers were previously used on the Leigh Creek to Port Augusta coal traffic which ceased in April 2016 and have recently been purchased by Consolidated Rail Leasing for work in NSW.

A shot from my archives... it's June 11th, 2012 as we pace a westbound NS OCS down PA Route 65...doing fittingly enough, 65MPH.
Still gotta re-do this but haven't had a opportunity since!
