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.
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.
It's a beautiful summer day in the Communipaw freight yards. Central Railroad Company of New Jersey had leased a group of Fairbanks-Morse switchers from the Baltimore & Ohio, one of which basks in the sunshine here.
The Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Woolworth Building are all in the photo (barely).

Chicago Rail Link SW14 1460 (formerly IC, same number) leads a pair of chop-nose GP9s out from the Arro Corp. plant, across Muskegon Ave near South Deering Junction on Chicago's far south side. CRL has since acquired new(er) power, though at least one of these units is stored at their engine facility.
Thank goodness it was the longest day of the year. We needed just about every minute to nab this westbound BNSF coal train as it slithered through the North Dakota Badlands a mile west of the west switch of Sully Springs siding.
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.
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.
A long abandoned section of track and switch arm for switching the train onto a different track out in the middle of the California desert.

Click on the image because its best BIG ON BLACK!!!!
A bright but misty morning gave me this shot of a trio of units engaged in some switching.
Don't shoot into the sun they say.
Ok...

Bangor & Aroostook GP38s 82 & 83 are working in the yard at Searsport ME on September 16, 1991. Today's crew switched out the old friction bearing tank cars that were used for transporting diesel fuel. The Geeps were a 1967 delivery which involved the BAR trading in their two E7 passenger diesels towards the order. By this date, September 16, 1991, the 38s had now served the BAR longer than their E7 predecessors had.

I think I'm ready for this. Unfortunately, I won't be able to start playing a bit seriously until Tuesday night.
2009 is at the end of street running on 11th street and will head over to 10th street on its way out of town.
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like 'Where you be at?'
'Cuz Im out, four in the morning on the corner rolling doing my own thing
What if I had a thing on the side, made you cry
Would the rules change up or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy?
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

Switching gears for a while! Won't have IPS consistently for the next week! However, every chance I can, will check-in to see what you see! I have learned more from all of you than any photography book on my shelf! And you all are soooo much more user-friendly! ;-) Many Thanks!
Switching It Up.
