A pair of GP38-2s switch Catawba, SC at Resolute's Bowater Yard.
This yard is now switched by RJ Corman.
Looking back toward Boulder City with the River Mountain Trail switchbacking between Red & Black Mountains. An easy trail, mostly because of the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1935-1937. They built quality, and they built to last.

Yorkrail's RJ2 has returned to Lincoln Yard in York PA and is now switching out the freight the crew picked up from CSXT at Smith's Station. A friendly wave from the engineer was most welcome. March 30, 2021.

The last major order of business for the now delayed yard job is switching SALCO, which looks best in the afternoon hours. Two boxcars out, two boxcars in as CSX GP38-3 2002 pulls the empties. The customer gets switched twice a week.
MP15AC 1187 shoves loads of asphalt into the Owens Corning Trumbull Asphalt plant. The company uses it to make asphalt coatings and shingles. A few months ago they received covered hoppers as well on a second spur, but it doesn't look like that's currently being used.
CSXT Middleboro based local B727 (now officially known as L007) led by GP40-2 6237 (blt. Feb. 1979 as BO 4335 in Chessie System paint) and two sisters are switching on the Myles Standish Industrial Lead. They are curving off to spot one reefer at Americold and then will go pull one from Reinhart Foodservice at the end of track before coming back here to work the busy New England Waste Disposal transfer station. This branch is accessed from Attleboro Junction at MP 8.6 on the Middleboro Secondary a bit over a half mile behind me here.
The Middleboro Sub is strange in that it is owned by MassDOT and dispatched and maintained by Mass Coastal, but CSX still operates it and serves the customers as the direct corporate successor of CR, PC, NH, and all the way back to the Old Colony Railroad. In fact this particular segment of line here on the Myles Stabdish was opened in 1836 by OCRR predecessor Taunton Branch Railroad making it one of the oldest rail routes in New England. Becoming a mainline for the Old Colony it survived as a secondary through route under New Haven aegis seeing its last passenger train pass shortly before the connection with the shoreline was severed at Mansfield in 1955 to make way for a highway grade separation project.. The tracks into Mansfield center lasted until about 1966 for freight service served from this end, but then were abandoned leaving only the present 1.5 mile stub still in use today up to the large industrial park.

Just another shot from this fun relaxing day out on the Mohawk, Adirondack and Northern.
MHWA 2453 (Alco C425 blt. Oct. 1964 as Erie Lackawanna 2453) was repatraited back to the states with several sisters after a long post EL career in British Columbia. On this Thursday the crew ran west from Utica with a shirt train and switched in the small yard on the former Griffis Air Force Base before running out to the end of the former USAF trackage to work here. Once completed they headed back east with 10 cars via the fast running on their trackage rights over CSXT's Mohawk Sub mainline.
This is the major customer that the MHWA serves in what is now the Griffiss Technologies and Business Park. Sovena USA was founded as the East Coast Olive Oil Corporation in Utica in 1991, and 80 percent of it was acquired in 2005 by the Portugal-based Sovena Group, which two years later renamed it Sovena USA and moved it to Griffiss.

Former Lehigh Valley and then Conrail. An EMD SW8 switching the plant in Kershaw, SC. the Lancaster and Chester locomotives have recently arrived and ADM is moving some cars around.
Often times the best opportunities for photos comes before the main event. I photographed P36-0110 switching in the yard at Shcherbinka on August 24, 2019, in preparation for Expo1520.
MRL 251 shuffles cars in the yard at Logan on a cool morning. It just dropped the hoppers ahead for the grain elevator and will now put together its train to head west of the 5th Sub.

Wisconsin & Southern has shoved a cut into the CN interchange at Ackerville and is bringing a cut out heading back to it's train on their main, and will continue south toward Milwaukee.
OSR 1620 and 1591 finish up their switching at PDI just as the sun was setting. Sadly this was as close as they came before reversing north out of sight to pick up the rest of their train.
The single car 518 picked up a couple of ballast hoppers at Grove City and made for a nice scene as they switched them out beside the old yard office while getting very short on time.
A Merseyrail Class 508 EMU switches back onto the correct Liverpool bound track just south of Maghull Station. It was involved in this switch because on 4th November the line north of Maghull to Town Green, Aughton Park and terminus station Ormskirk was closed. Can't just recall whether the short running on this occasion was due to an RMT strike day over driver only operation (when the new Merseyrail Stadler stock is introduced) or whether it was caused by an engineer's possession due to the construction of the new Maghull North Station a mile north of the present Maghull Station. In the background you can just make out another Merseyrail 507 or 508 EMU awaiting a clear line to run into Maghull Station.
And some autumnal colours too of course.
