C&NW RSD4 No. 1517 is bringing the Watertown Local north at 10 mph near Castlewood, S.D. on Oct. 23, 1976. This branch is long gone of course, as is the 1517.
A welcome spring rain falls in Watertown, as Canadian Pacific's empty GPS ballast train rolls down the yard lead (formerly main track 2), heading for Wisconsin & Southern's Watertown sub. Once authority is granted by the WSOR dispatcher, the empty ballast train will head west about ten miles to the Michels quarry, where the sixty empties will be loaded.

This nightscape of Gubei Watertown was captured during our visit in October 2023. This watertown is about two hours drive Northeast of Beijing, with stunning lighting of the buildings in the watertown at night.
This photograph was taken from one of the stone bridges that crossed the waterway. The lights illuminated the buildings and surrounding vegetation, with the relatively calm surface of the waterway providing enchanting reflections.
In the background, there were lights that lightened the steps that led to the buildings at the top of the hill. According to tourist information, the only illuminated section of the Great Wall, called Simatai, could be seen further up the elevation.
Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday!
Hot and dry and windy is the word of the day, as Canadian Pacific's 8WWA-4 ballast train makes tracks back to Portage just outside of Richwood. I shoot lots of ballast trains here, reason being that it's a 10mph run from the Michels quarry at Waterloo to Watertown over the WSOR. When the ballast trains hit the high iron of the CP, they get up to track speed right quick descending the grade into the Reeseville Marsh basin and this is the show you will get everytime, unless it's raining. By the time the train makes Tamarack, the show is pretty much over.
That's today's useless information on why this IS the place to shoot loaded ballast trains.

Tennessee Central Railway Museum’s "L&N 819" leads an excursion across Beech Log Creek as it departs Watertown, TN, on its return trip to Nashville on March 25, 2023. The 819 is a former B&LE unit, but it certainly looks nice in L&N blue and cream. This view was just recently opened up, courtesy of some sort of maintenance or utility work which has resulted in several trees being removed.
G67's conductor walks the brake test on the Watertown Patrol in the Watertown yard, as the cool March sun does it's best to illuminate the scene.

A few minutes after sunrise, BNSF's Watertown Local heads east out of its namesake with a pair of H1 Geeps. Couldn't have asked for nicer power than the 2292 and 2266, but the short train, early morning call time, and clouds by South Shore left a few shots on the table for next time. Still was a fun chase.
The day is getting on, as Canadian Pacific's train G64 ambles over the Crawfish River in downtown Hubbleton, heading westbound to the Waterloo quarry.

With clouds rushing into the western sky, all hope for catching Canadian Pacific train 281 in any sun at all was pretty much lost, until just before it's arrival when the glorious sun peeked through the cloudbank and gave a gift of light upon the face of this Delaware Lackawanna & Western drifter.
