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!
After waiting a couple hours for their safety meeting, etc, the crew finally got on the APA 98/99 and started working the yard prior to departure.

I used to play guitar and sing/ in several punk/hardcore /rock bands a few years ago. Seems as if a lot more time has passed. Seeing bands (especially those with female leads) play live makes me want to pick up my guitar again. I have to write songs and start a band again...
Something between Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, Babes in Toyland, Made Out Of Babies, Electrelane, Wye Oak or something in that direction I guess. So if you are interested in starting something like this, I'm on it :) I also wouldn't mind switching instruments, since I have basic bass guitar and drum skills as well ^^
BONSAL NC: This switcher is one of the restored gems at the New Hope Valley RR & Railroad Museum. It is a 45 ton diesel that was built in 1941 and used by the Navy in Maryland and Camp LeJeune NC.

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.

In the yard on the outskirts of Dubois, Pa., a train is being put together. Notice the piles of untreated RR ties. These are awaiting treatment with creosote at the plant next to the yard.
The Caddy wanted to go to the steam plant while the rescue crew had other ideas. Some blocking and a few tugs on a stout chain persuaded the car onto the proper path. Notice the orange parking ticket.
NYS&W WS-4 with SD45-2 3618 switches the Campgaw Siding in Franklin Lakes, NJ, just after sunset. The engineer carefully shoves back towards the hitch while crossing Pulis Ave.
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.

The Minnesota Northern crew pulls their train around the curve up to the 110th Avenue grade crossing where the conductor will step off prior to some switch moves here at Tilden Junction. I believe I counted around 40 car loads collected here at the Strata Corporation pit among the Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge between Crookston and Mentor, Minnesota.
CNW RS-3 1554 switches the Winona levee. The steamboat Julius C. Wilkie sits high-and-dry to the left. The date is April 22, 1977.

The inaugural ITT Hub trade show took place in Farnborough over 2 days at the end of June 2021. Promoting "Innovation & Technology in Transport", the show featured many trucks, vans and around 45 buses, coaches and minibuses, most of which were located in an area next to the main cavernous hall.
Exhibitors from the bus industry included ADL, Altas Auto, BYD, Caetanobus, Dawsongroup, EVM, Harris, Ilesbus, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, Switch (Optare), Wright Bus, and Pelican Yutong.
The next ITT Hub event is scheduled for May 11th/12th 2022.
Soo Pacific 2719 switches cars at Ladysmith WI. after a roundtrip to Junction City on Fathers Day 2001. Her next chapter might put her back on display in the town of Eau Claire WI. Too bad for an engine that should still be running.
Wisconsin Central SW1500 #1563 switches in the small yard in Rhinelander, WI in February of 1996. Soon the crew will go and serve the Rhinelander Paper Company.

The new hybrid locomotive 20605 of the Rhaetian Railway in shunting service for the Arosabahn at Chur station. The all-round lighting is almost festive. It goes out automatically while running and switches on again when stopping (video). Switzerland, October 31, 2020. (2/3)

As freight car capacity and size increases, so does the horsepower requirement to move said cars. One of CN's "Super Switcher" sets heads north on the Camrose Sub after switching the Atla Steel Plant on the east side of Edmonton Alberta.
A CNW locomotive brings a train of empty flatcars to the former Wood St Yard, now called Global 1, in March 1987. The switches were manually operated and the switchtender positions had been eliminated, requiring the train crew to line up the switches. Most of the old factories seen in this photo have since been demolished.
Maine Northern Railway Train 900-14 makes some switching moves at Skerry Siding on the Madawaska Subdivision.
Out of view behind the train is a massive sawmill owned by Maine Northern's parent company J.D. Irving. The mill makes up a large portion of MNR's traffic, shipping logs to Woodland, lumber, and chips for Irving's papermills in Saint John. Having just spotted a cut of empty chip cars, an army of front end loaders has already started the process of loading the empties. Roughly 50 chip cars, around 20 log cars, and 9 center beams can be loaded at a time. Depending on demand, the mill can be switched on both the north bound and southbound leg of 900's journey.
The empty log cars on the head end are destined for the yard at Fort Kent, where they will be loaded by the TNT Road Company which harvests for Irving Woodlands. Others will go to Irving's Grande-Riviere sawmill in Saint-Leonard, NB to be loaded there.
