The rust on the rails indicates that the former passenger main of the Erie Railroad in Niles, Ohio, is little used.
ECRX 1457 is an EMD SW14, originally built as a SW7 in June 1950 as Illinois Central 9407, then upgraded to SW14 as ICG 1457. This unit arrived at Casey Yard behind BNSF 4682, and ECRX 193 on train M-TEADYT1-30A. The two ECRX units are headed to Econorail in Baytown, Texas to most likely work one of the plants in the area.

Fully Charged Live 2021 (aka Fully Charged Outside) was the latest event to be held at the Farnborough International site in Farnborough, Hants. The three-day event hosted a huge selection of electric vehicles including two PSV products. There was also an internal Park & Ride bus service operating using 8 buses over the course of the event with the addition of an occasional trip to Farnborough (Main) railway station.

A CN train working the yard in Effingham, Illinois, has backed up as far north as the Amtrak station and await a signal at the diamonds with the CSX St. Louis Line to go back into the yard.
The Mac Switcher has just left a cut of gons in the siding and is now pulling ahead with their FBOX for Newberg. They will grab the balance of the train and take it a few more miles north before continuing on with the boxcar.

I visited Fort Smith, Arkansas for a bowling tournament back in 2001. While there, I wandered around looking for interesting stuff to photograph. I found these two units working the yard there.
Little did I know then that these were quite rare. Here we have two Alco T6 Switcher locomotives, both originally built for the Norfolk & Western Railroad back in 1959. This is Arkansas & Missouri (AM) #14 and AM #16, They produce 1,000 HP each from an Alco 251B 6 cylinder prime mover, and ride on two axle trucks, or a B-B wheel arrangement.
According to the most recent A & M locomotive roster, they are still on the roster, however I am not sure if or how much they are still in operation today.
