Tandem train tracks and county road with airplane contrail overhead. Photo taken on Colorado River Road (in Colorado!)
A very small portion of an immense electric train collection belonging to a neighbor. More challenging to capture than I had anticipated.
As promised in yesterday's post, I would like to present you the first train to the cement transloading facility at Gdańsk Osowa ran by Cargoway... halfway.
A keen eye will notice the fact, that the last CTL train was hauled with the use of two SM42 locomotives and this one on head has an SM42 and a TEM2 with the same train length. The use of a heavier locomotive at the front however wasn't done as a precaution, but rather as an emergency. That is due to the fact that Cargoway - not taking into account the very challenging uphill route ahead of its train - only decided to attach one SM42 to it before heading away towards Gdańsk Osowa.
As it turned out, the train had stalled after 8 kilometers of incline with an average 1.3% value and blocked one of the tracks. TEM2-234, which was in Gdańsk Osowa that day, was dispatched to help haul the train up the hill. After more than an hour of standstill on track 2 near the stop Gdynia Karwiny, the train TMS 554080 Gdynia Port GT 1-33 - Gdańsk Osowa Grupa Ożarów was pulled back up, and I managed to picture it as it was passing the station Gdynia Wielki Kack, with TEM2-234 of the Kotlarnia Sand Mine (here working for the company FDM Rail) on the front and SM42-387 of Cargoway right behind it. I was lucky that the train ran in the very last rays of sunlight.
I also have a picture from before the train had stalled and I will most likely show it in the near future.

Light rail line from Phoenix to Tempe.
In another year and a half Tucson will have its own light rail .. well the frist 4 miles...
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.

RZD EP1M-696 stands at Saratov 1 station, the main station in Saratov, with a train waiting to depart southbound. This was the only EP1M I saw in Saratov, with the earlier EP1 being the mainstay here.
The loco above is based at TChE-8 Kavkazskaya and falls under the North Caucasus Railway branch of RZD.

The Dartmouth steam railway runs 'the train of lights' every year as there Santa specials.
previous years have featured one steam and one diesel locomotive but this year its running with two steam locomotives.
in this shot 75014 'Braveheart' leads the train along the banks of the river Dart with 'Omaha' on the rear.
I found this little train in a box with old toys. I think it was inside a Kinder Surprise egg. :)
This picture kind of sums up my style of photography: mirror, low DoF, negative space and black background (with low key). Check my photostream and you'll see what I mean. ;)
Feel free to take a look at some other pictures on my website!
(update coming soon!)
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!
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. :)

On a freezing, foggy morning, the first train of the day, the 05.34 from Wolsztyn to Leszno gets away from the rural Wloszakowice station. Class OL49, No 59 was doing the honours.

After hearing that 4145 would be leading this afternoons 852, I got ready to leave to shoot it, however it seemed the weather decided to have a massive thunderstorm and some tornado like weather, causing severe alerts and backing interstate traffic up bad. I thought my chances of catching 4145 were as good as none.
However, 4145 was also not having a great time. Due to either the massive storms ahead, or a signaling issue (or both) the train was stopped outside of Riverdale for 20-30 minutes, allowing the storm to pass and giving me time to get trackside.
The product is a not half bad shot of P852 on the Thomas Viaduct.

At a glacial pace, a couple of SD40N's drag UP train YKS92R-10 through Hickory St on Main Track 1 of the UP KC Metro Sub in the West Bottoms, en route from CPKC's Knoche Yard with a transfer for UP's 18th St. Yard. 10/10/25.

In the midnight, hear me cryin' out her name.
I'm standin' on the railroad, waitin' for the Graveyard Train.
On the highway, thirty people turned to stone.

Oh, take me to the station, 'cause I'm number thirty-one."

Cp 235 arrives Jefferson Rd at Walkerville JCT on a warm winter day with dual CP GEVOs leading. This was the first time seeing 235 having intermodal at the front of their train, usually having it at the back...
Another sign that the holidays are here - the annual Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Gardens
The model trains zip around the tracks and pass around, over and underneath 150 New York and Hudson Valley buildings and bridges. The building partially visible in the background is the Old Penn Station.
