My Father in Law, waiting for us to meet him and go for a train ride at the National Capital Trolley Museum in Colesville, MD.. I think some people though he was a museum prop, he looks like he is the train conductor. I love the way he is dressed .. : )
De mooie rode mocht uiteraard ook niet ontbreken vandaag. Hier zien we Crossrail PB03 met volbeladen containertrein afkomstig uit het Nederlandse Sluiskil DOW en opweg naar het Duitse Ludwigshafen BASF. Nummer is 41531
Helaas kwam de laatste nieuwe DE 6314 + PB12 totaal verkeerd voor de zon voorbij!

Imagine riding a train in a the beautiful Swiss Alps after nightfall. You look out of the window and enjoy the starry skies. Mars and Andromeda are shining in the sky and the Winter Milky Way is leading the way to a brightly illuminated stone bridge that boldly curves over a narrow valley.
Suddenly hold your breath, as you just realized that the bridge leads to nowhere and the tracks end in the middle of a vertical cliff. What a nightmare! You tremble with shock while the train races towards the bridge and crosses over it without even trying to brake. Then everything turns black - because you entered the tunnel at the end of the bridge.
Crazy story? Sure. Welcome to the Landwasserviadukt.
The old Kensington Train Station operated from 1905 to 1983. A national historic site, it is one of the few examples of a boulder station.

Wikipedia: Canadian National 89 is a E-10-a class 2-6-0 "Mogul" type steam locomotive, built in February 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT). Originally number No. 1009, it was renumbered to No. 911 in 1919. It then came under Canadian National (CN) ownership in 1923 when the Grand Trunk merged. It was then renumbered again to No. 89 in 1951. Most of No. 89's early life is a mystery, but it spent the latter part of its working life in Quebec until retirement in 1958 and being stored in the deadline in Montreal. It was purchased by F. Nelson Blount in 1961, who sent it to operate on the Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC) and later Steamtown, U.S.A.. It was then purchased in 1972 by the Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) who were looking for an engine to pull the half-hour trains. As of 2025, it is in operation at the Strasburg Railroad.
What made my dreams so hollow
was standing at the depot
with a steeple full of swallows
that could never ring the bell
and I come ten thousand miles away
with not one thing to show
well it was a train that took me away from here
but a train can't bring me home
Here is one of my first pictures with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90. And a first "incident" on film (on the right top corner). I don't know what happened, maybe a little drop of rain, but I love that anomaly and my new camera!
The very first mixed train to run on the ARR in over three decades is highballing north at track speed rolling through the junction at NSS Matanuska (MP 151.4 on the ARR mainline). Three SD70MACs lead a 2300 ft train consisting of 13 coaches (with 120 paying passengers), 7 COFC flats, and 10 loaded tank cars of diesel fuel operating as train 230N, the regular weekly Saturday northbound Aurora passenger train. This definitely isn't the kind of train out of Mixed Train daily that Beebe and Clegg would recognize!
The ARR is exercising an FRA waiver that I spearheaded along with General Road Foreman Bruce Pryke to run mixed trains allowing us to consolidate some traffic and operate as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. The ARR was always an innovator and not afraid to look to the past for solutions to problems in the present....it was a special place to work and I'm honored to have had the chance to lead there for a half dozen years.

A Belt transfer job with an SW-7A 503 & SW7-B 512 are coming out of the Belt's Clearing yard, approaching 75th street interlocking, which crosses CSXT (Former B&O). Scanned from a slide.
February 22, 2010, and the water cycle is in full effect. Rain and warmer temps are causing the snow to revert to a semi-gaseous form, causing a haze of fog as a loaded Ohio Central coal train rolls north a few miles north of Zanesville, Ohio.
Back in the day, I would have called this a GLT, Glouster Turn, because it has the nice neat loaf of coal in the gons behind the power, but I think the folks at G&W had changed the symbol to BOT by then. I never bothered to listen to the scanner back then, so I don't know. If saw a train from the office window, I knew it was train time. And if the power/weather/light was good, it was lunchtime too.

I'm still doing phone pics ... this one has been transferred to my S21 Ultra from two 'phones ago.' I really need to upload these a bit more often. The light illuminating the train was other worldly and magical - the camera on the phone didn't quite capture it but I like the photo nonetheless because I'm the one who felt the magic. Photos are memory sponges. :)

The Jacobite steam train crossing the 21 arch Glenfinnan viaduct during the Easter holidays. The viaduct crosses the river Finnan at a height of 100 feet. This is Scotland's longest concrete railway bridge at 416 yards. The single line track was opened on 1 April 1901. The viaduct has been used in a few TV series and films including Monarch of the Glen and the Harry Potter films. The structure overlooks Loch Shiel and the famous Glenfinnan monument, well worth a visit. took a wee video of the crossing, not sure if it would upload to flkr..
