To get cars to and from Oconto Falls, the ELS uses a switch back and gravity to move cars around the wye. Here the first cut is being pulled out to the main. The 500 would go back in 3 more times and bring another 7 cars out to the main. These crews have it down to an exact science and make it rather fun to watch the operation.
CN 1439 is on point for the CN 1600 Yard Job as they switch out Yellowline Asphalt in Hamilton, Ontario.
Just another shot of this cool but homely veteran unit still toiling away in the far northern reaches of New England.
NECR 1750 (EMD SD9 blt. Apr. 1959) is seen switching back and forth over North Elm Street at the south end of the old Central Vermont Itay Yard at about MP 0.5 on the New England Central Railroad's Swanton Subdivision.
The 1750 is rather unattractive with its chopped nose, but sure is cool as the only operating example of this classic model in New England. None of the traditional New England roads ever purchased any SD9s, preferring instead the 4-axle GP9 model which were quite common. The 1750 was an original Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway unit were it served for 39 years as their number 161 before being sold to Railtex in 1998 and transferred to the Georgia Southwestern. It was around that time that its original high short hood was cut down and was renumbered 1900. It was transferred by then parent RailAmerica around 2005 to the Connecticut Southern and then came to the NECR around 2009. For the past dozen years she has been a stalwart switcher though her sibling, NECR 1901 (ex DMIR 168), that came at the same time has since been retired.

Are you excited? I love that feeling when the seasons are about to switch and we move in to the early spring with all the weather changes that is about to bring. The first major one is happening today and we might be even able to witness and capture aurora or northern lights here in Illinois! This image is captured last spring, I used my wind painted clouds technique to emphasize the movement of the clouds and contrast it agains the still and beautiful Chicago skyline. What do you think?

Natsuki - he's confident and "flirty" got a bit of a smirky playful side too. (Not shown here though!)

A colour changing hydrangea. Flowers start as pale green, then creamy white and ends up pink. Beautiful flowers and, as you can see it attracts red spider mites too!

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.
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.

Maryland Midland's UBHF pulls onto the Hanover Subdivision at Highfield with their pickup from the CSX local. Once the crew clears the switch in the distance, the CSX job will couple up to the cars that the Midland has left for them. After the local clears, the Midland will back up to clear the switch and then proceed east back to the yard at Union Bridge MD.
