今年度がラストチャンスと思い、毎週末通いつめた結果、40両超の編成でかつこの場所で一番影が当たらない時期にワンチャンスで撮影できたショットです。
Fondant covered train cake for a little boy turning 1. This was definitely a challenge but fun to do and I'm happy with the end result. Cakes were 10", 8", 6", 8"...fed about 60.
After over 15 years of construction, extensions, issues, and taxpayer dollars, Long Island Rail Road's "East Side Access" project finally opened to customers on January 25th, 2023.
No expense was spared on advertisement or fanfare either, as the first train bound for the new Grand Central Madison enters Jamaica Station.
This 12 car train of M9s brought the first railbuffs and politicians into the new terminal, commencing a new era of communting in the State of New York.

I had no intentions in going to New Jersey this weekend. With autumn leaves at peak in the north country I had intended to head back to New Hampshire or upstate New York. But on Wednesday night I got word from a friend that Saturday was shaping up to be the big hospital train move off the long defunct New York and Greenwood Lake Railway in Passaic. These moves would constitute one of the very last on the line as it had been condemned and was going to be entirely removed.
What makes the old NYGL special is that they were the operators of the former Conrail (originally Erie) railroad Dundee Spur that included one of the longest stretches of street running left in the east for 3/10ths of a mile down Monroe Street. Much has been written about this line over the years and I'd known about it for decades thanks to seeing photos and reading about it in Railpace magazine. This street running while popular with railfans has long been a sore spot with the city of Garfield that has tried for decades to restrict or remove railroad operations. In fact their efforts even made a story in the New York Times decades ago: www.nytimes.com/1978/07/08/archives/new-jersey-pages-judg...
Conrail operated the route until 1996 when much to the delight of the city they petitioned for abandonment. But the line's one remaining shipper objected and it was sold and became the shortline NYGL. For a while they were able to grow business and seemed successful giving the line a new lease on life and delighting fans with a roster of vintage motive power wearing a pseudo Erie Railroad scheme.
But the lines major shipper closed for good in 2009, and the railroad ceased all operations in 2012. Having sat in limbo for half a decade with its connection to the outside world severed (where the line met NJT's ex Erie Bergen County Line) its future was uncertain. Seized due to unpaid taxes the railroad finally relinquished all rights in 2019 and allowed it to be cleared abandoned. The new owner of the property swapped land with the city of Passaic so that the location of Island Yard could be revitalized from a homeless camp into a waterfront park.
In February of this year the collection of former NYGL equipment was moved up the line from their one time shop and trans load facility at Dundee Yard up to Island Yard so that track removal and site clearing could begin on the lower portion. There it sat until this past Saturday when a special move contracted to the Morristown and Erie Railroad took place. The M&E used their SW1500 to shuttle the hospital train out to the NJT main where they made the short trip north to deliver it to the NYSW's yard. The equipment has been donated to Operation Toy Train and would be headed to Honesdale, PA for safe keeping via an NYSW special on Sunday to Lackawaxen and the connection with the Stourbridge Line.
After delivering the derelict equipment the SW1500 would return to Garfield and make a second trip light engine down the street to pick up five loaded flats and gons of salvaged rail and hardware before making a third trip shoving north (railroad west) this time back to the NJT main before taking that back to their shop at at Morristown via their trackage rights over NJT.
I never made it to see the Dundee Spur in CR or NYGL days and the line died before I moved back east. So when the opportunity arose on my day off to get one truly last chance at photographing this iconic piece of east coast Street trackage I knew I had to go. Considering I'd recently traveled all over the midwest seeking out street trackage, to have this chance come up relatively close to home was truly a gift and to not attempt it would be just wrong, So,despite the throngs of easily 200 fans out chasing it was a day for the ages with good friends absolutely worth the effort!
There will probably be only one more set of runs down and back up the street with the last of the rail, but I won't be able to make it whenever that happens. So, let's take a look at nearly the last gasp of the old Erie Railroad line down Monroe Street and over halfmoon trestle into Passaic. I have dozens of photos to share but here is one to start.
Making the first move of the day on the line, ME SW1500 (EMD blt. Oct. 1966 as RFP 91) leads a long hospital train of derelict former NYGL equipment up Monroe Street headed to the NJT Bergen County Line connection. They are being walked up the street with a railroad and police escort as they approach the intersection of Cambridge street with the Albanian American Islamic Center mosque providing an interesting backdrop.

Artist : Supertramp Song : Rudy
Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the
line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time
He ain't sophisticated, no well-educated
After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs
time
He needs time - he needs time for livin'
He needs time - for someone just to see him
He ain't had no lovin' for no reason or rhyme
And he whole world's above him
Well it's not us thought he's fat
No there's more to it than that
See he tries to play in school
Wouldn't be nobody's fool
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those
what wait
But recently he could see that it may come too
late
All thought your life, all thought the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears
How can you live without love, it's not fair?
Someone said give, but I just didn't dare
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearing's alright for them that's all there
You'd better gain control now
You'd better show 'em all now
You'd better make or break now
You'd better give and take now
You'll have to push and shove now
You'll have to find some love now
You'd better gain control now
Now he's just come out the movie
Numb of all the pain
Sad but in a while he'll soon be
Back on his train...
Second part of the Tuscan Journey, had just time to change a few setting and fire the shutter, which one you prefer? cc welcome!
The new (underground) train station in Delft, The Netherlands. We seem to be getting a lot of new train stations and they are all interesting to photograph. Luckily, under normal circumstances, us photographers are left alone by security people ;-)
The ceiling consists of curved white horizontal strips adorned with a historic city map in (Delft) blue arches above the public lobby and station hall. Nice touch, I think.
in this shot from february last year a stopping train on the great central looks very much as though it was running in the '60s--the preservation time -warp indeed
the locomotive is standard 2-6-0 78019
Finally I have time again to go further with my projects. My first project I did finish is this train sheed with a train wash area.

I sometimes travel by trains and coaches and take photos with longer shutter speeds. Thereby the world outside is blurred, one sees the dirt on the window, the reflexions and sometimes the world is askew...
Ich reise manchmal in Zügen und Bussen und mache Photos mit längeren Verschlußzeiten.
Dadurch ist die Welt da draußen verwischt, man sieht den Schmutz auf der Scheibe, die Reflexionen und manchmal ist die Welt schief ...
A decorative holiday train for the mantelpiece. It started out inspired by wooden toy trains, but more realism crept in while building.
I don't really know trains, but the loco was inspired by some Art Deco era designs such as this one.
The big driving wheels on the loco are the least sturdy part of the build -- they hold together fine, but they have a slight inclination to pop off the loco because of the way the 2x2 radar dishes press on the tube above them.

Here we are on the train, Tim and me, taken but JJ. I have a confession - this was actually in the morning, on our way from Nice to Menton! If it had been our return trip, we were all separated as the train was painfully busy! JJ and I nipped upstairs hoping for seats while Tim stayed down. We didn't meet up until the train was nearly back at Nice! (Not a lot of fun!)
