Laying over on a slow Sunday, BNSF 2661 sits outside the shops for Metra's BNSF Line and the Zephyr Pit. Since BNSF is the operator for Metra trains to Aurora, they also provide power for switching at Chicago Union Station.

CNW RS-3 1554 switches the Winona levee. The steamboat Julius C. Wilkie sits high-and-dry to the left. The date is April 22, 1977.
Mike E. Crowe slide. Used with permission. Do not copy.
This has been finished for a while now, but I didn't photograph it properly.
The engine is controlled by an SBrick and contains a remote decoupler.
WAAAAY out in the boondocks of Wyoming, after several miles of the poles being on one side of the road, why did they switch?
CN 7229 & CN 4700 do some switching in the Pointe St-Charles Yard six years ago today. The dwarf signals at right are on the connecting tracks of the Montreal Sub. Surprisingly they have still not been replaced at present.
An abandoned papermill virtually untouched by vandalism or graffiti. Not sure about the whole history but it dates back to the 1920s/30s.
The Chocolate Milk Germany UE Tour. All win no fail and some epic locations with host, sunny weather, many miles travelled and much chocolate milk consumed.

The inaugural ITT Hub trade show took place in Farnborough over 2 days at the end of June 2021. Promoting "Innovation & Technology in Transport", the show featured many trucks, vans and around 45 buses, coaches and minibuses, most of which were located in an area next to the main cavernous hall.
Exhibitors from the bus industry included ADL, Altas Auto, BYD, Caetanobus, Dawsongroup, EVM, Harris, Ilesbus, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, Switch (Optare), Wright Bus, and Pelican Yutong.
The next ITT Hub event is scheduled for May 11th/12th 2022.
Soo Pacific 2719 switches cars at Ladysmith WI. after a roundtrip to Junction City on Fathers Day 2001. Her next chapter might put her back on display in the town of Eau Claire WI. Too bad for an engine that should still be running.
UP's Marsh Job shuffles hoppers on the near south side at the Port of Milwaukee, a place that still employs a decent amount of local switching work from both the UP and CP.
As freight car capacity and size increases, so does the horsepower requirement to move said cars. One of CN's "Super Switcher" sets heads north on the Camrose Sub after switching the Atla Steel Plant on the east side of Edmonton Alberta.
📟 : 140 to Harrow Weald (Bus Garage)
🚍 : VWH2228 - LK66EOC
📟 : X140 to Harrow
🚍 : VWH2230 - LK66DWJ
🏢 : Harrow Weald (HD)
🚏 : Station Parade
Ⓜ️ : Volvo B5LH Gemini 3
VWH2228 overtakes VWH2230 at Station Parade as it heads to Harrow Weald operating route 140 while VWH2230 heads to Harrow on express route X140.
Usually it's the express overtaking but a light 140 with just the one passenger makes its move!
Maine Northern Railway Train 900-14 makes some switching moves at Skerry Siding on the Madawaska Subdivision.
Out of view behind the train is a massive sawmill owned by Maine Northern's parent company J.D. Irving. The mill makes up a large portion of MNR's traffic, shipping logs to Woodland, lumber, and chips for Irving's papermills in Saint John. Having just spotted a cut of empty chip cars, an army of front end loaders has already started the process of loading the empties. Roughly 50 chip cars, around 20 log cars, and 9 center beams can be loaded at a time. Depending on demand, the mill can be switched on both the north bound and southbound leg of 900's journey.
The empty log cars on the head end are destined for the yard at Fort Kent, where they will be loaded by the TNT Road Company which harvests for Irving Woodlands. Others will go to Irving's Grande-Riviere sawmill in Saint-Leonard, NB to be loaded there.
