The ultra friendly folks at the Apache Railway allowed us to sign a release in exchange for limited access on the property. We weren't allowed to go very far from the building or cross tracks, but it was better than getting kicked out!

An OTVR crew switches cars in the yard at home in Fergus Falls. Nice to see some train activity here where I usually get shut out from seeing any movement or signs of life. The crew would eventually spot the hoppers and reconnect with their other unit, OTVR 3045, sitting just down on the east side of the yard.

C&S 802 works a cut of tankcars in Cheyenne, the northern end of the C&S system. 802 was from a group of five 2-8-2s built by Baldwin in 1911. Much like sister locomotive 801, 802 would last until 1959.

[YJ22AXK] The brand new Abellio 1002 is seen at Clapham Common on route 322. A driver said that they aren't actually meant to be running yet but they just wanted to get some mileage. Apparently they haven't had clearance from TfL after the PB fire caused by a Metrodecker. However it was nice to see this one in service early.
Phelps Dodge power switch at Clifton whilst waiting for the SP local to arrive from Lordsburg. In the dying days of the SP, they may have a long wait some days. March 1995.
Vermilion Valley is about to set the hand brakes on this string of stored tank cars. After shoving 50 west to pick up 22, Annie(8310) does the work alone easily as the second unit, 4029, lost its main generator right before the switching started.

CSS 2000 & 2001 dropped a cut of cars behind Pioneer Lumber and head east to switch Criterion. The two GP38-2's and train reached their destination via the Amtrak Michigan Line minus the ever so common PTC.

This has been finished for a while now, but I didn't photograph it properly.
The engine is controlled by an SBrick and contains a remote decoupler.
Laying over on a slow Sunday, BNSF 2661 sits outside the shops for Metra's BNSF Line and the Zephyr Pit. Since BNSF is the operator for Metra trains to Aurora, they also provide power for switching at Chicago Union Station.
