Kendallville Terminal Railway SW8 #16 switches Kraft Foods at Kendallville, IN. Despite rumors of Pioneer Rail replacing the unit, I believe it is still there along with a Michigan Southern geep.

Higgins Switch. December2025. Mistakenly shot this roll of Retro80 at 400. It seems the DDX worked though. I lost a lot of shadow. Then the fixer failed. I don’t think it fully fixed the whole image. I dunked it back into the fix for an extra five minutes. Still the edges of every frame seem to have suffered. So there’s a little crop on everything.

Delaware & Hudson RS11 5007 switches the yard in Taylor, Pennsylvania. Piggyback cars with general freight and cabooses were still a not-too-uncommon sight in the mid-1980’s, but were rapidly disappearing.
Middletown & New Jersey #2174, a GP38-2, slides out of Eastern Alloy in the Town of Mongomery, NY after spotting a box car. "New" power in the form of the Norfolk Southern unit had recently arrived. To this day, that loco has yet to receive the sharp East Penn blue and yellow paint.
An eastbound Kyle grain train switches Arriba Grain on the former Rock Island main line in the great plains of Colorado on May 6, 2014. Two former Southern Pacific SD45T-2s power the train, led by recently repainted No. 3099.
While I am fully in support of the Snowplow Sunday movement, there are many of us who can't participate due to lack of material. I believe others have started the idea of Switcher Sunday, and this is my offering fot this week.
After the sun has dropped below the horizon, a Lehigh Valley SW8 works one of the hump receiving tracks at Allentown Yard.
Toledo, Peoria & Western’s Morton Switcher, powered by the road’s lone EMD GP18 No. 600, switches a lumber yard at Morton, Illinois, on December 16, 1983.
Providence and Worcester local CT-1 with B39-8E 3906 is seen on the Portland Running Track working the only customer on the line, Red Technologies, which ships contaminated soils and demolition debris out by rail. After crossing the more than 1200 ft long bridge, there is only a bit more than 3/4 of a mile of perfectly tangent track on this side of the river extending to just shy of Marlborough St. / Route 66. This view looks east (railroad north) from the aptly named Airline Avenue grade crossing toward the end of the line where one can still find an old New Haven era freight house standing as a reminder of an earlier era.

Milwaukee Road SW1200 switches industry along the banks of the Mississippi River at Wabasha, MN back in 1983. Amazingly, this 1954 built diesel is still in service on the Twin Cities & Western! Pretty much everything else is gone. We're at the corner of Bridge Ave and Lawrence Blvd. The bridge shown in the background connecting Wabasha with Nelson, WI was replaced by a new structure in 1988. This bridge had a crazy approach and tight curve before crossing the river.
CN L53881 01 switches out the modest yard in Appleton, powered by EJ&E GP38-2 703. After shuffling cars around for an hour or two, they will head north to work the industries on the New London Spur.
A trio of former Santa Fe GP60Ms switch out freight at the west end of Kaiser Yard. We set up here hoping to get this power on the main after they built a train, but they ended up not leaving the yard on this day due to the Memorial Day holiday. This shot of them in the yard would have to suffice.
The original Springfield Terminal Railway was an interurban trolley line from N. Charlestown, NH to Springfield, VT. After the end of passenger service, the railroad survived for years with minimal amount of freight, hauling mostly salt for the city of Springfield, VT. GE 44 tonner number has arrived at the B&M interchange at N. Charlestown, NH and is switching the lumber facility in the fall of 1977. According to Fred's notes on this slide, number suffered a major failure shortly after this and was replaced by B&M power. Photo by Fred Bailey

On an autumn evening, Soo Line MP15ACs 1532 and 1535 pull past the yard office at Canadian Pacific's Nahant Yard in Davenport, Iowa. These units were built in 1975 for the Milwaukee Road as their 466 and 469, respectively, and retired by CP at some point not long after the time of this shot. I am not sure of their current disposition.
On the morning of September 27, 2016, Portland & Western GP9 No. 1801 switches the PNWR yard in Eugene, Oregon. The 1959-built EMD is dressed in classy Southern Pacific black widow colors and lettered for previous owner Willamette & Pacific.
A GP15-1 and a SD70M switch out the elevator in Triumph, Illinois on the UP Troy Grove Sub before finishing their trek to the facility in Troy Grove.

#4116 is a real live burbling 244 powered Alco RS3...and an ex Delaware & Hudson loco (4116 blt Sept 1952) on D&H "home rails" no less!

This Saturday morning special required a bit of research. I resorted to an old copy of New England Sates Limited, a magazine from the 80's that Fred and his friend Don Valentine published years ago. On a trip to see the "new" Mass Central RR, Whitcomb 44 tonner, number 401 heads north over Main Street passing the site of Mill No. 1 in Thorndike, built in 1845, on March 29, 1980. The train will pause at Forrest Lake Jct and head west over the B&M Bondsville branch to Diamond National Co paper. Fred Bailey Photo

The Columbia Basin Railway local is switching at Connell with its SD9s. Parked up in the distance is a short BNSF inspection train.

A clean Southern Pacific Alco S-6 shuffles Amtrak power in Oakland, California. A grand total of 126 S-6 (DL 430) models were built by Alco in Schenectady, New York between May 1955 and December 1960. SP acquired far more than any other railroad with 70 of them.
