On a crisp and windy Christmas Eve, the Exshaw switcher pushes a cut back into the Lafarge cement plant at Exshaw after blocking their cars in the yard.
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.

A former Southern Railway SD24 (SD9 now) works as a switcher at a grain elevator in Cozad Nebraska. At the time of this photograph the locomotive is 65 years old.
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.

The Morning Helena Switch (Y HEL0601 29 A) is in the process of setting out their cars at Helena Yard in Helena MT, March 29, 2018. MRL SD40-2XR was built for the C&NW in January 1966 as an SD40. Nikon F, f2 50mm, 1/500th at f5.6, Fuji Acros 100.
Say hello to Mr Conflicted. Kaji is student council shacho, but has an alternate life outside which he hates but has no choice but to live out. More soon :)
Kaji is a Switch Milhwa on a Little Monica type A body :)
Due to an ever increasing need for ungraded electrical supplies used for the National Atomic Agency Research Establishment and for Cobra Mist there still remains evidence of the switch gear, transformers and rectification circuits needed to manage such a supply.
The A&M Sand Switcher begins its day switching the various sand plants around Springdale and Rogers. The Monnett Turn and Rogers Local will go on duty within the hour followed by the Springdale Local later that morning. The Sand Switcher religiously uses #32, originally BRC #601 and one of six ALCO C424s delivered to the Belt.
Fully Charged Live! returned to the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre at the end of April 2022. Although no buses were on display at the show, the park & ride services provided a real mix of vehicles to enjoy including brand new electric Yutongs for Newport Bus, rare Higer Steeds from Big Lemon, and a number of local independent operators pooling together to provide a link to the main car park in Rushmoor Arena.
After going to investigate a South Shore Freight train, we ended up in Michigan City where we found a quad of GP38-2s at Carroll Avenue. We waited for them to make a pull, until they started shoving into an industry. We then staked out by the industry for who knows how long listening to the song of 4 roots blown 645s and a RS3L, until they eventually headed out.

The Soo Yard switch job arrives back in the USA with 408 leading a transfer from the CP on April 27, 1987. 40 foot boxcars were still very common in newsprint service at the time. When business was booming in the late 70's until the rerouting of most overhead freight in late summer 85 the Soo Yard switch job often made a few trips a day to Canada. By the Lake States era it was usually just a single trip and once back the yard unit would tie up for the day or often be added to the road power on train 12 and come back the next morning on train 11.
A pair of UP MP15ACs (both originally MILW) slowly approach 9th St. while switching ARM-DAT in KC's West Bottoms. The actual office for ARM-DAT is off camera to the left, but this long-ago vacant building, which obviously was a bar or liquor store, provides a more interesting view, especially with the old Schlitz sign.
The track actually runs down the middle of State Line Rd (out of frame to the right), so depending on which side of the locomotive the crew would get off on, they would be either on the KS side or the MO side.
Pabst Brewing Company now produces Schlitz and Old Milwaukee.
A pair of IC geeps lead CN local L508 onto the single track at Byron, WI on the railroad's Waukesha Sub. The train will stop ahead to begin work at the Quad plant located here.
