This isn't a tourist operation.
Due to the borders still being closed, one of Moscow's smaller terminal stations is only seeing a handful of passenger trains per week. Russian Railways doesn't think it's worth keeping their regular diesel crews stationed there with so little work to do, so somebody got the great idea to assign a steam crew to the station instead. After all, they're not pulling many excursions these days anyways. Until at least March, Rizhskiy passenger station's switcher will be one of Moscow's many restored steam locomotives.
I was up before the sun to make sure I didn't miss any of the action. This 0-10-0 was first assigned to take apart the day's lone passenger train and store it in the coach yard. Later it did some switching of MoW equipment. With not much else going on, the railway museum next to the station asked the dispatcher if they could move some of their equipment around, to which they kindly obliged - all before lunch.
This might just be the only place in the world where one can find steam working as a passenger terminal switcher.
Three terminals of a busted run capacitor (used in air conditioner).

The surface on which these terminals are on is 2 inches in diameter. The terminals are no higher than 1/2 inch.
An inexpensive speedlight-clone, camera-left, with blue gel, was used to light this subject. At 1/16 power, about 6 inches from the subject, and pointing at the subject, it was triggered by camera's built-in flash in commander mode. Another speedlight-clone, camera-right, with red-gel, at 1/4 power, in optical-slave mode and about 6 inches from the subject, was triggered by the other speedlight (camera-left). The third speedlight-clone, at /128 power and also in optical slave mode, less than 6 inches above the subject and pointing at the subject was triggered by one of the other two flashes. Light from the flashes was not diffused.

I was telling a friend about this place and decided to post this photo. We were in Cincinnati years ago to photograph some buildings at the University of Cincinnati for a client, when we were done I suggested to my son that we go check out Union Terminal. What an amazing place!

I've just scanned a batch of Roger Puta's Illinois Terminal Company slides he took during his undergraduate studies at University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana.
I wish I had been with Roger that night but we went to different colleges and only got to railfan together during college breaks.

Shortly after sunrise a pair of "rebuilt" ex-CNJ GP40Ps meet each other on the east end of passing trains just west of Hoboken's Terminal Tower. On this day these were two of five GP40s being utilized as cab cars due to a shortage of equipment caused by PTC modifications.

A GP38-2 runs light back to AO Smith Yard after working north towards Alton on ex-IT trackage. There's not much of IT left, so I take shots on any of the active lines that were once part of "The Route of Personalized Services" whenever I can.
