Early Conrail leased anything they could get for power. CN units were everywhere. BAR power was also around, but with a smaller fleet, since it was a smaller RR. BAR 87 & 83 probably got paired up often up in Maine, but it was a big deal to catch them together on this Eastbound at Goodman Street in Rochester, NY on May 10, 1978. I should have paid more attention to that Frisco box car too.

Way back when, the Bangor and Aroostook was a very busy railroad. So much so the railroad had CTC in place on much of the Southern Division south of Oakfield, with power switches, a complex interlocking and tower at S. Lagrange, and a mix of searchlights and semaphores along the Medford Cutoff and the main line.
However with economic collapse of the potato traffic during the Penn Central bankruptcy and declining traffic, most of the system was unplugged and removed in the 80's and 90's. I believe the signals around Millinocket might have lasted into the early 90's. To my knowledge, this signal posted at the south end of the former siding at Quakish Lake, is the last one standing (there is a set at the end of the airport runway in Bangor which were felled and never picked up). This remaining signal is one of the last remnants of a time when things were busy enough, to warrant a signaling system.
On this day I found EMR 910-25 making its way south to BVJ, with a pair of SD70M-2's bracketing the last SD40-2 in service, along with NBSR GP40-2 3068 hitching a ride to Saint John .

UP LDG51 rumbles past Gold Bar Canyon along the Colorado River near Moab, Utah after departing the potash mine on its return trip up the Cane Creek Branch. The branch was built in 1962 to serve the newly opened potash mine and plant, then owned by Texas Gulf Sulphur. The Rio Grande contracted Morrison-Knudsen to build the entire branch including the 1.3-mile-long tunnel through Bootlegger Canyon.
Loe Bar beach is a half mile sand and shingle bank that separates The Loe, Cornwall’s largest natural freshwater lake, from the sea.
Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Loe Bar beach originally formed the mouth of the river Cober which led to a harbour in Helston. However, by the 13th century the bar had cut Helston off from the sea and formed The Loe. (Visit Cornwall, 2024)

This first part of this current upload were taken on St. Patrick's Day 2022, after the parade was over. Each images was with the oldest lens I own, a Tamron - 24.0-135.0 mm f/3.5-5.6. Although it might not be quite as sharp or as quick to focus as some of my prime lens, it is small, light and an easier, general purpose lens, to carry in my hand for a few hours. (All shots were hand held). Unsharpness was sometimes due to the focus picking up the bars as the main subject, instead of the subject, or perhaps to these aged hands, in an unsteady age.
