A short Conrail train ELKA rolls past some fall foliage in thriving downtown Otis on an afternoon in 1998.
LMS 704, built by GE in 1994 for Locomotive Management Services was leading Conrail C39-8 6002. The 704 was working for Conrail on lease, and after the breakup, it went to CSXT as the 7922. It again returned to the leased locomotive market as GECX 7922, wearing CSX paint.
Borrowed for the day this car is amazing, you need a flight manual to work the Dashboard though! :-)

Recently we borrowed a rickshaw from one of our neighbors to play around with in the studio. Here are some results.

New Hope & Ivyland's GP30 rests in the yard at Lansdale, PA along with a set of CSX GP40-2s. The classic EMD was in service on the Pennsylvania Northeastern while one of their units was offline.

This detoured Union Pacific train, GSNDRK-18, has one of the last Southern Pacific painted engines still in its roster. Although the engine has been "patched" with UP markings, it has escaped the paint shop so far. That's remarkable because all SP and C&NW and SSW units were supposed to be repainted by the end of 2018. But hey, I'll take it! Here he is rushing through a noisy Ashton, Illinois just before midnight, as a thunderstorm raged behind me.
The FEC ES44C4's are being built as I type this. The SD70M's life is short on the FEC. I imagine NS will likely buy them for thier rebuild program. FEC train 226-18 at St. Augustine, FL on Oct 19, 2014.

From the 2010 Studio Ghibli movie Arrietty, which finally opened in the US this weekend. The Jelly family heartily recommends this movie to all Ghibli and Miyazaki fans!
It was dark and dismal in Seattle this weekend, so this wasn't shot under the best of possible lighting conditions (hence the shopped background). But the hand is a fully three-dimensional Lego creation, the palm rising several inches above table level. The ivy leaf is based on one plucked from the wall outside my Lego room. It all looks much more impressive "in the flesh"!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
With the 710s being delayed by a couple of months due to issues during testing, it's only a matter of time before scenes like this are no more.
172007 is seen here at Upper Holloway with 2J34, the 10:33 Barking - Gospel Oak service.
...one phrase that possesses an extremely negative or positive connotation, never anything in between. Sadly, this photo displays the lesser half.
This is a semi-forgotten photo the Short Line delivering a loaded 60C to the NS. The recent addition of CN gon trains initially had me worried that NS had lost the contract to run these trains, but that fear was (thankfully) put to rest when I saw a bunch of NS cars in the plant a few days ago. These trains have boggled the minds of rail enthusiasts for as long as they've been running. Where do they go? What's in all those gons?
While most assume that these trains are scrap loads going into the mill and empties leaving, they are not only empty going in and loaded coming out, but are loaded with steel slabs scarfed and loaded by TMS International, a contractor within the Indiana Harbor Works complex. The loads go down to Calvert, Al - more specifically a steel production facility known as AM/NS, a 2014-constructed joint facility owned by both ArcelorMittal (yes, still them, perhaps the only US location not purchased by Cleveland Cliffs) and Nippon Steel - hence the incredibly generic and uncreative name. These trains have been running since the plant opened those 7 years ago, and used to run in alternating directions every day, empties in, loads out, over and over again. Though recently, they've only been running once or twice per week in each direction, typically double the length that they used to be. A bit harder to find, but at least we still have a chance to shoot them...
...for now. I read last night that in February, ground was broken on a new facility in Calvert that will produce the slabs for AM/NS themselves, effectively obseleting (yes, that is an actual word!) these trains. You can read more about it here:
www.alreporter.com/2021/02/19/steelmaker-breaks-ground-on...
So, a little over a year remains for these trains to run before they will meet a swift end like so many other unique operations across the country. For now, here's a late September example of one. Two NS GE's are at the helm, with two other pushing hard on the rear (although you can't see them) of this massive 145-car loaded 60C. A Short Line crew is running the train and heading to 501, a mile to the east of me, where they will hand the train off to an NS crew. This would be one of the last times they would deliver to 501, as the preferred routing changed soon after NS having the SCIH dump them in Pine Siding at 497 - a very recent concept, but neat to see new sorts of operating patterns in this day and age!
A set of NJT Arrow MUs rests at Washington Union Station, a good distance away from its normal home territory in New Jersey. These Arrows brought in train 1099, which I rode from Philly back home to DC on this day. While Amtrak did a pretty good job disclaiming that these trains had non-standard equipment, a number of my fellow passengers were a lot less thrilled than I was when they realized what we were boarding!

Dash 9s in Paris, two posts in a row? Well, they won't be around for much longer, so I'm more than happy to get photos of them while they're still here in their current state. One of my favorite all time spots - met a few friendly folks here too at the time.
Those old signal bridges with their searchlights are icons too - and I hope they still have a few more years left of service.
I know this is *the* Paris shot that everyone has gotten, but I love it all the same every time.
There are still a few hopping around here but next weekend is supposed to be in the lower teens. I suspect that will be the end of them for this year. The flowers are long gone...
CSX B724 is seen trundling south through Berlin, MA this afternoon. Last week, CSX performed a massive tie job along the Fitchburg Secondary. That was the first time this isolated branchline has seen substantial maintenance in over a decade, so rumors are now flying around that CSX is making the branch look better before they put it up for sale. If it is indeed true, I'm glad I've been chasing these guys around over the past few years because who knows what the future holds.
The ultimate, and last generation of main line steam crosses a quiet Michigan farm, just east of the Smith Road Crossing, outside Owosso, MI, one early morning in 1957. Built just 13 years earlier, Nickel Plate's Berkshire #765 easily handles this 31-car freight, but alas, more efficient locomotives, powered by internal combustion engines are rapidly taking over America's railroads. The surviving steamers have largely been replaced in passenger service and within a year, even this 400-ton youngster will be forced into early retirement. Fortunately, her relatively short service, and the efforts of many volunteers helped ensure her preservation for future generations to appreciate.
This late 50s-era re-creation was staged in August of 2009 courtesy of the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, the Steam Railroading Institute, the Great Lakes Central Railroad, and Lerro Productions.
I borrowed this from my husband's collection of antique medicine bottles. I found an article in the St. John Daily Sun dated Jan. 25, 1905 recommending this product (see comments).

CMQ Job 2 rolls past Long Pond on a cold winter day. The supposed sale of CMQ is rumored to be announced soon. This could mean the days of the blue barns could be numbered.
