Thank you Jessie Skodlow for hosting two amazing Bellisseria Riding Club Sunday rides at Ville de Coeur.

BRC GP23ECO 231 leads the first ever public BRC Santa Train at Austin Ave in Chicago, IL.

BRC Clearing Yard is the biggest classification yard in all of Chicago. You can find multiple hump jobs busy working the yard during the day. This morning was no exception after seeing two hump job sets meet twice in a short time.

After a little birdie alerted us to a Belt Railway Extra in care of 3 orange South Shore Freight Geeps, my bro and I knew it was only proper to make a stop and lens this guy. Under the care of engineer Kevin Vahey, their 15 cars of freight roll through the back alleys of the blue collar neighborhoods of Hammond, Indiana. With a good deal of leased power on the roster, its always refreshing to catch a solid 3 pack of "oranges."

I decided to go up and shoot the BRC 1500TR job once again on Saturday. Here is the job heading for South Chicago after just departing the BRC Clearing Yard. This former SP 40-2 is nice & the pair looks great.

The South Chicago job has finished its air test and is departing Clearing Yard, while the Nabisco cookie job prepares to run around its train.

BRC (as it is known locally) or Black Rock Cottage, Glencoe, Scotland by its official title. Despite having driven by BRC hundreds of times I realised I had never photographed it, today I did (obviously).

One of my favorite art installations from last year returned to the playa again this year: the Big Round Cubatron by Mark Lottor. Still photography doesn't quite do it justice...because the colors and patterns of the lights are continually changing...and it's mesmerizing, simply mesmerizing. And beautiful.

On a beautiful summer day that feels a lot longer ago to me than it really was, Belt Railway of Chicago GP23-ECO 236 pulls a cut of cars west through the northeastern end of Clearing Yard while SD40-3 561 moves down the main (east) leg of the 67th Street wye with a ballast train. The neat and trim little brick houses of the West Lawn neighborhood border the yard here.

Even in 1996, the sight of GP7s was an oddity.

A pair of them sit with a former Shawmut switcher among Conrail and SP motors at BRC's Clearing Yard. Dig that SP sunset logo on the Jeep Cherokee. It's ALL gone now, and a trip into the diesel ramp now just isn't worth the hassle.
