Snow falls over Queens as a duo of YN2 AC44s take the Y102 to Fresh Pond while a set of R46s hustle towards Astoria Boulevard. Both equipment are on borrowed time, as the AC44s are getting rebuilt by CSX and the R46s are soon to be phased out.
Momiji season again...little flames on the wall
thanks for the visits, faves, etc. -- they don't go unnoticed!
John 7:38
According to the scripture:
He that believeth on me, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of running water...
Such a very long way we have come
to the last segment of light we succumb
native to season, into this loop of de-stress
trance uplifts under shelter we convalesce
nature the guardian of veracious kaleidoscopic love
voices call like angels into the night thereof
their veneration is the food, the air, the heart and soul
our fire, our music, our dance, our declaration to extol
the vocals ring around the Oak and enrapture all
we're in the zone of praiseworthy trance to enthrall
letting go of today our spirit is free to embrace tomorrow
from this tori-hada-twilight hermetic hearts borrow
music and illumination of the senses, a gravure imprint
upon our mind and reflecting in the eyes, a most beautiful glint!

We are kind of like that teenage kid that borrows their parents car and then totals it. Hope you have a great weekend.
Priority doublestacks speed east towards Milwaukee and Chicago past the searchlights at Duplainville, Wisconsin. Like nearly all old signalling infrastructure, these lights are on borrowed time for sure.
CN 8103 leads train X371 through Brantford on a nice Friday afternoon. While working in the afternoon I received a heads up about the train and bagging it after work was a no brainer.
With CN 8100 already repainted and CN 8101 and 8102 at Centralia presumably also for paint getting 8103 in some great light was a must.
UP SD60M 2247 hustles up to Homer East with CP 475's train strung out behind it and a UP C44-9W. The days before I had my drivers license were tough because while I could go out after a train like this one, whoever was driving me usually wasn't up to chasing the train for the entire afternoon. I can only imagine what this looked like in the Lake City area..
L303 is working its way east from Grand Rapids to Detroit, clicking off the miles and passing the classing search lights as they go but this trip is far different than my last visit. Just a couple days before this CSX removed 4 sets of searchlights between here and Lansing making the 105 signals in Mulliken the eastern most set until you get to the other side of Lansing. A storm over the summer leveled all kinds of code line making this section of the railroad top priority to be replaced and upgraded, While this was just 6 days ago its very possible that these too are now gone. No new signals are in place yet but a signal suspension is in place making these just extra unneeded upkeep and expenses.
On September 11, 1996, Southern Pacific merged with Union Pacific in one of the biggest mergers in railroad history. Since that event occurred, almost all of the SP engines have been completely repainted to Union Pacific livery, scrapped, or sold off. But a handful of them, just patched with a UP number below the conductor and engineer window...still run on the system in 2023.
UP 6236 is one of those engines. It's rare to see it in person; it's even rarer to see it lead. But 27 years after the merger, this engine not only has managed to avoid the paint can, for the most part...on this night, it managed to lead a train. Here it is heading eastbound with a mixed manifest, ducking under the coal chute in DeKalb, Illinois, on a chilly winter night.
This awesome flare was created by a Canon 5D...nope, not mine. Cara Rose met up with me at the hill and let me pose for a few selfies while she pulled the trigger with her sweet camera. Thank you Cara!

Engineering Sperry Train is seen at Ardgillan with "Borrowed" Railway Preservation Society of Ireland" Generating Steam Van as their own one is inoperable, GM 071 Class 086 at the helm
Two unusual leased engines rest at the PHL's yard in Long Beach. These engines added some variety from the standard black and silver power, but I don't think they lasted very long here.
Both this SD60 and the PRR-era signal bridge at CP Cannon are living on borrowed time. Most of Norfolk Southern's SD60 locomotive have been put into storage. The 6711 is one of only a handful left on the road. And the PRR signals are already being replaced across the Pittsburgh Line.
The standard cab EMD leads intermodal 21T through the interlocking at CP CANNON just before the sun ducks behind the mountain.

A little over a week ago the Federal Minister of Transport for Canada, Pablo Rodriguez, announced that funds have been allocated for the replacement of VIA Rail's long distance passenger fleet. RFP's for 40 new locomotives and 300 passenger cars are being prepared, and once issued the countdown to the demise of VIA's classic Budd car fleet begins.
I know that like any government project, this process will take years to complete, and likely face budget cuts, and delays. Either way though, it formalizes what we have all known for years, that a good thing can't last forever.
I was just a baby when the last trip of the Rio Grande Zephyr ran. I'm not sure how much notice the fans of that last great American streamliner got, but I'm sure that the writing was on the wall for that train in the years after the creation of Amtrak. Looking at how well photographed the final trio of DRGW F9's and stainless consist were, especially post 1979, I think the railfan community understood what it still had.
Freight railroading has always held a greater appeal to me to watch over passenger operations. However, I'm going to be refocusing what spare time I have for railroad photography to capture as much of the current iteration of The Canadian as I can while it lasts. I hope that anyone who has ever wanted to ride or photograph this iconic train takes advantage of the time left to do so.
VIA 6412 east leads two more of its kind, and 2,100 feet of almost 70 year old Budd streamlined passenger cars through the 'S' curves at the former siding site of Yale, BC.
New RTA F40 is on the Rock Island with 8 borrowed Amtrak, ex C&NW long distance bilevels on a very cold gray Veteran's Day at 16th St. in 1977.
I borrowed these girls for this shot!! No. these two saved my life today as they were my understudies for a show at a prestigious auditorium in Austin. As understudies, they were borrowed. Thank goodness for both of them
One of the benefits of working with someone who seems to own one of every camera is that he brings them to work to let you borrow them. Gabriel brought his Hasselblad Super Wide to work a couple weeks ago and for a few days I got to play with it. I don't think I will ever own a Super Wide of my own... not sure I can justify the expense of this camera for how specific its use is... but then again I do own a Flexbody so I suppose never say never.

The home signal into Two Harbors is days away from being replaced by a new LED version as CN upgrades and installs CTC on the Iron Range Sub. Here the NSSR "Terror Train" holds short of the signal waiting for an ore train to clear into the yard. Thanks to Dan Mackey for lighting and Scott Parker for spotting.
The Norfolk Coastline at Happisburgh with the clouds colourfully lit by the setting sun and the lighthouse just being turned on. Don't know how much longer we will have this view as I've just found out that in the past 23years, 105mtrs has been erroded from this site.
The Sunday after Thanksgiving is historically Amtrak's busiest day of the year, with extra holiday travelers going up and down the Northeast Corridor. To keep up with the demand, Amtrak rents out a few extra MARC and New Jersey Transit sets to make the trip from New York to Washington, DC. Seen here a long way from its usual DC-Perryville turf, a MARC HHP8 leads a northbound extra (train 1054) past the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia.
What will our new bride select for her "something borrowed"?
In my family, a strand of pearls was something loaned from an older family member for one's wedding day.
Hope our new bride has wonderful choices to select from for her special day.
Metrolink train 265 heads toward Lancaster up the Valley Line trailed by a most unusual cab car in the from of a BNSF AC4400. With much of Metrolink's own cab cars undergoing PTC installation, Metrolink borrowed a number of BNSF AC4400s to serve as control cars during 2016 and 2017. It was fun while it lasted!
A friend and I first discovered this barn back in January (2019) and it was just starting to lean but was standing tall and proud. This past weekend we made the nearly 2-hour drive to revisit it hoping it was still in decent shape but were surprised to find it's on the verge of collapsing.
It breaks my heart to see it go but Iām extremely grateful for the opportunity to spend some time here and make a couple of photos of it. I plan on going back to check on this tired old barn every few weeks until it inevitably loses the battle with gravity.
A pair of leased HATX GP40s had a Maryland Midland stone train working the big hole in Woodsboro over a section of the ex-Pennsylvania Railroad's Frederick Secondary. From Keymar the train would travel over the former Western Maryland to Finksburg.
The pair of leased motors would soon be replaced by more powerful locomotives brought in after 2008 when Genesee and Wyoming took over.
Abandoned heritage home, Richmond Hill Cottage in St. John's, Newfoundland. Built in 1848 it has been empty for years and is slated for demolition in the near future. Like many heritage properties, its main downfall was the fact that it sat on a large piece of land in the middle of the city. The land was divided up with new homes built on it. Richmond Cottage was then left to deteriorate by the developers. It's been for sale but the neglect and damage was too severe to attract any buyers. A sad end to another heritage property in the city. I grew up in this neighborhood and this house was always occupied and quite beautiful at the time.
Dash8's are living on borrowed time, so it was a nice surprise to hear that CN X106 had two of them for power. Here it passes through Dorval with CN 2130, BCOL 4617 & 151 platforms.
