Following the flag across the former Santa Fe is BNSF train Q-NYCLAC6-30A led by Norfolk Southern's Wabash heritage locomotive. Here, they're crossing the Missouri River Bridge at Sibley on the BNSF Marceline Sub, headed to BNSF's Argentine Yard in Kansas City for a crew change. 4/2/23.
An Ashton, Iowa to Port of Stockton, California unit ethanol train rumbles along a farmer's ditch in Echo, Utah on April 8, 2023. ue top warm weather, Utah's abundant snowpack was melting quickly!
Union Pacific C40-8 No. 9289 pulls a 38-car SCOG train up Cherry Hill near Kaysville, Utah on May 22, 1994. While this merely a transfer of cars between Salt Lake City and Ogden, catching a train on the Salt Lake Sub with a single unit was a rare catch in the 1990s.
When putting together a modular model, I always make a small test to see how the units, usually with different colors, have to be connected to form a corner.
This is how it looks like and this shape gave me the idea to use the striped paper for this model of which I showed you the single flat units all together yesterday, (See first comment box)
It reminds me of a kind of spaceship ;-))
Have a nice Thursday!

A Kusudama, for those not familiar with the term, is a modular papercraft origami model, where multiple units may be glued, sewed or connected with themselves using underlying geometric principles of polyhedra to form a spherical shape.
The word "Kusudama" literally means "Medicine Ball" when translated from Japanese. They were originally used for incense and potpourri.
Here you see 3 units connected together. A first step for assembling another kusudama, that I will show you tomorrow, have to make a photo first today ;-)
Wishing you all a lovely Tuesday !!
Canadian Pacific bought back some "Barns", which leads to last Sunday's specticle along the Mohawak River at Cohoes, NY. Two ex Central Maine & Quebec, nee Canadian Pacific, SD40-2F's lead a ballast extra on the old Delaware & Hudson Colonie main south with a ballasta extra.
In the above photo are 12 units.
Can you count them?

GB&W C424 (314) backs into Norwood roundhouse. Time to put those two units to bed. It was a sodden day, uncharacteristically warm (for Wisconsin) for this close to Christmas.
BHS' first unit train for Cargill was a success. 85 cars were received from NS, loaded, and returned back to interchange in less than 24 hours. Two of our three MP15s have 13 loads in tow as they climb the hill form the dock to the yard.

Utah Railway MK50-3s No. 5004 and 5003 pull a unit train of tank cars through Price Canyon at Castle Gate, Utah on Sept. 12, 2008.
The tanks will be loaded with Uintah Basin "waxy" crude oil in the Utah Railway yard at Martin, Utah.
If the PRR had survived into the 21st century it might look like this. The latest AC power passing under the classic signal bridge in Tipton, PA at MP 225 on the Middle Division with NS run-through power trailing. Train 507 is a Carney's Point, NJ to Shire Oaks, PA empty hopper train.
A spot I've wanted to try for a long time that comes with it's challenges. There's not much traffic for one challenge and it often is on one of the tracks up against the wall as this one is. Most of the through traffic on NS bypasses this line due to it not having high enough clearances for stacks and auto racks. And then there's the Gingko trees which bring a lot of shadows with the color they bring in the Fall. The normal train to shoot here is the Allegheny Valley's daily transfer to NS. After shooting that returning to Glenwood on this same track I heard about this empty 861 hopper train that was in Conway and would come this way with a crew called for 2:30. With sunset being at 5:03 that seemed like it would be enough light to be worth a wait. It ended up being a 3 hour wait showing up at 4:58 with pretty dark skies. Fortunately the Gingko's light up the scene enough to salvage it. Pittsburgh's North Allegheny Commons Park West 11/13/2024.
UP C40-8W No. 9388 pulls an APOA along the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake east of Burmester, Utah on Sept. 12, 1992. In deep shadow are the Oquirrh Mountains which divide the Salt Lake and Tooele Valley areas.
BNSF 3855 leads 121 petroleum coke loads over Fish Creek as it heads west. The unit coke train had originated in Helena Montana and was to be exported through the Roberts bank terminal.
The petroleum coke is a by-product from oil refining.
London Midland Class 170 unit, 170502, is about to pass under the Sadlers Center prior to stopping at Walsall with 2A66 1445 Rugeley Trent Valley to Birmingham New Street.

Going big on this F-unit Friday. Santa Fe's hundreds of red and silver F's are the face of American railroading, and the tradition continued in the second generation with the purchase of nine massive FP45 units from EMD. These 20-cylinder, 3600 hp, six motor, steam generator equipped cowl units were the epitome of streamlined aesthetic, melding the earlier era of industrial design with the more utilitarian look of the modern era. Only 14 units were built, with the others going to the Milwaukee Road. Here is the preserved ATSF 95, seen in July 2008 on display at Barstow CA.
Interesting to note that the FP45s were constructed only three years after E-unit production ended.
After cutting Helpers off at the top 3154-5356 became the dynamic duo as they brought this train down the west side of Soldier Summit. 3.01
37800 is seen at Uffington working the 5Q76 0951 Ely Papworth sidings - Newport Docks. It sees units 317342 & 317515 going for scrap 27/5/22. (Taken using a pole)
BNSF 6022, one of the 25th Anniversary "sticker" units, powers the westbound Denver to Provo, Utah, manifest train around the big curve at Leyden, Colorado, about 13 miles west of Denver on Union Pacific's Moffat Tunnel Subdivision. Photo by Joe McMillan, July 14, 2023, 11:05 a.m., MDT. Two DPU ACes are shoving on the rear.
I liked to flag unit much better than the map unit and seemed to see it more often. Here it is leading a CN train out of Trout Lake heading for Munising on March 7, 2002. Despite inroads of IC GP40/s, CN GP40-2LW''s and CN GP38's the WC units remained fairly common in the Yoopee. 3027 and 3012 look pretty good in this late winter scene.
While waiting to catch the steam double header at Jim Thorpe, Pa. the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern e NS F-units showed up. 275 starting life as a Chicago Great Western F7b and 275 starting life as a Baltimore and Ohio F7a being upgraded along the way to an F9a.
