On one end of Fallison lake is this gorgeous little bog and I thought it was looking particularly nice even in the harsh light.
SFG Train 565-11 has cut away from the rest of the train and will shortly start working the Groupe-Lebel lumber mill in Nouvelle-Ouest, Quebec.
The lumber mill is one of only a few customers on the Cascapedia Subdivision and ships outbound loads of lumber and woodchips.

Storms roll in along Escambia Bay as the Florida Gulf and Atlantic Railroad's Pensacola Shuttle leaves town. The train is running the bayshore for the next few miles before crossing at Lora Point and switching the industrial area south of Pace.
The 8143 is leading an RJ Corman motor that is painted for future lines in Tennessee.
Thanks for looking!
HESR 8802 switches Georgia Pacific on the west side Owosso as a lite rain/mist falls on a rather nasty January night. As a kid i used to watch 8802, 8804 and the other CMGN and HESR units switch this line over the years. With the Railamerica take over by G&W and all their repainting & moving of power, it is really nice to see this engine working Owosso. 8802 and the 4 former HESR GP38's are the only ones left on the HESR that have not been renumbered or repainted. It is only a matter of time.

GP-7 4296 switches an industry track in Elburn, Illinois on a very cold February 10th, 1988. This unit was rebuilt from the 1650 in November 1980 at the C&NW's Oelwein shops.
Illinois and Midland SW1500 prepares to switch out the ADM grain industry nearby Creve Coeur, Illinois during a very dismal morning.
CN 537 has just cleared the switch for Tri-Province Scrap, with an empty to spot and two loads to be pulled. A fresh snowfall the night before has the landscape looking quite wintry just a few short days before Christmas. The tied down cars in the background are pulls from the Humphrey Spur to go west on 305 the following morning.
Bringing train 664 into Overbrook, 642 makes another autumn appearance on the Keystone Corridor. MOW is hard at work replacing a switch as part of a weekend project.
A lone ACWR SD40 switches out the facility in Midland on a cold February Night. The fog really adds to the scene here and its one of my favorite times to go out and shoot.
The photo was taken at GEG, an industrial monument of a former mill and a factory of malted coffee substitute. It is located in Mannheim, Germany.
Seven views in as many hours - another Flickr glitch, so reposting. Switching the yard along Front Street in Steelton, Pennsylvania, Steelton & Highspire Alco S2 64 goes in search of more materials for Bethlehem Steel’s mill. Catenary poles from Amtrak’s Harrisburg Line can be seen in the background.
A Juniata Valley Railroad trainman rides a boxcar back to pick up a single empty gon near end of track in Burnham. The big Standard Steel mill is is behind me in this shot.
PRR styled heritage painted SW900 2106 (blt. Nov. 1953 for the Pittsburgh and Shawmut Railroad as their number 236) looks right at home on this former Pennsy branchline that once extended another 8 miles up the valley to Milroy, although since 1980 end of track has been near here just out of sight to the right.

Lime Spur was actually two spurs located at either end of a curve. One spur had a west-facing switch that held two cement hoppers for loading. This spur has an east-facing and has two short tracks, one for the tank car of fuel that fed the operation and a second that held a single cement hopper for loading. The empty tank and loaded hopper have been pulled from these tracks and temporarily spotted on the short run-around track behind the photographer, and now the Baldwin S-12s are spotting the loaded tank car and will then spot the empty hopper in the second track. Benson's 1962 Ford Falcon station wagon is parked next to the tank car. Lime Spur was a neat little operation and would be an excellent site for railroad modelers to recreate.
IHB SW1500 1505 leads a local -past one of the very few remaining EJ&E searchlights at Bridge 631 in East Chicago, IN.
Amtrak's "Ethan Allen Express" contained multiple firsts for me, and among them was mid-trip power switching. This train requires power to be on both ends due to a change of directions in Rutland (another first), but going in-and-out of NYC, they only need one unit, so they add/remove a unit at the Albany-Rensselaer station.
From here, they run the surplus unit up to Amtrak's nearby Rensselaer shops for servicing. From a fan perspective, it also allows you to get out and photograph the train in the process. In this case, we're looking south towards NYC, and the 701 would be cut off in short order, allowing the rest of the train to run south with just the 716.
ELS 1201 drops 2 boxcars inside the KK warehouse in Marinette, WI, wrapping up their work for the day, they'll then head light back to the ELS yard across the river in Menominee, MI
OSR 8235 and 1400 switch the CAMI Automotive plant, I'm always impressed with the grade to get up to the yard.
Delaware-Lackawanna Job PO-74 switches out the cars they picked up earlier from NS as DL3 to assemble the train they would be taking up the Poconos. This task ended up taking way longer than it should have because they apparently were asked by the secret service to clear out the yard of any freight cars as a "security measure" in anticipation of Sleepy Uncle Amtrak Joe's visit to Steamtown the next day.
Side note: the prominent building in the background, which now serves as a Radisson Hotel, was the passenger station for the Lackawanna Railroad in Scranton. 10-19-21
A Canadian Pacific yard job with a Soo Line GP38-2 is switching tank cars at the Red Star Yeast complex just off of West Greves Street in Milwaukee. – As of this posting the 4414 is still around (although now wearing CP colors) – But the Red Star plant here is long gone, having been closed about three years after this November 2002 photo was taken and since completely torn down. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
The conductor of the L540 switcher heads back to the comfort of the locomotive cab for the trip back to the Edson yard
A pair of Commercial B39 type GEs switch some cars around in the yard at St. Anthony. The engineer waits for the conductor to clear so they can shove back into the yard.
Coca Cola Bottling is switched by an NS High-hood GP38-2. Here the engine is seen shoving two tankers down the spur, across McDuff avenue.
Here is just another from last summer when GP40-2LW MEC 507 showed up on the docks in Everett to work BO-1 in her sparkling brand new paint. Truly one of the most improbable things to happen in New England railroading in 2020.
The red white and blue unit beside them is the Ciment Quebec plant switcher. This unit is the last privately owned plant switcher to be found in daily use in the immediate Boston area. It is a cabless 125 ton Alco blt. in 1960 and acquired from the bankrupt James River Coal company. The unit is remote controlled and has a hostler stand on it and once worked at a coal mine in Kentucky whose lettering it still wears. I'm not sure of the exact history of of the switcher. Some sources say it was ex Baltimore and Ohio but another says that it was originally Lehigh and New England Alco S2 616 before being sold to the Louisville and Nashville that eventually traded it in to GE that rebuilt it as an 'auto-haul 335.'

York Rail picks up a car at York Transfer. Formerly Northern Central and then Pennsylvania RR trackage and freight facility. The railings for the steps still sport PRR stanchions.. Always fun to catch them here. Freight facility to the right is being rehabbed, hence the equipment
Between the shorter days and regular work at the autoport L516 is seldom seen in the daylight here these days. So it was today by the time they got here. It was a really nice night so when I heard them preparing to switch the siding I went out to sit on the deck and watch. There were 10 empty tie cars to retrieve off the siding, I watched them go about the pickup in the dark. Once they backed down the main the headend lined up precisely with the backyard when they made the joint. I figured it was worth attempting a shot with the power spotted so well. I grabbed the camera out of the house while the conductor was walking back up to the point and set up the Canon on the seat of the old Allis Chalmers B, trying a few test shots. It wasn't long before the conductor climbed up and settled in to update his paperwork. A minute later the highbeams were back on and L516 back underway for Stevens Point.
