On the north side of Toledo the CSX and Ann Arbor crossing of NS at Alexis is still protected by these classic signals. CSX I151-16 is on the move southbound on a brisk January day. Toledo, OH 1/16/2022
The 0700 yard job is almost done building their train at Stuart Street before heading down to the industrial sector of Hamilton. CN 1439 is on point, one of the last remaining GMD1s in service on CN at the time. This day in particular was one of my last times shooting one in action on CN. An equally classic GP9 can be seen sitting on the engine track to the right. Behind the local crew, a couple sets of new CN grain hoppers fresh out of National Steel Car wait to be lifted and sent out for their first revenue loads.
Train: CN 0700 job with CN 1439 (GMD1) and CN 4770 (GP38-2W).
CN 7038 (GP9RM).

I never thought I'd call second generation EMDs classic, but in 2020 they do start to fit that descriptor. Now for a real classic, we have the 1952-built Great Lakes ore boat (laker) Arthur M. Anderson, unloading limestone at CN-Hallett Dock 5. The train, laker and dock are all property of CN. The Anderson is best known for being the boat following the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald on November 10, 1975.
Black River GP-9 752 throttles up to pull a large cut of cars at Mid-State Packaging in Hillsborough, NJ while a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado sits at the crossing. The 752 was built for the Northern Pacific in 1956, but still earns its keep in 2020 on lease to Strategic Rail Solutions by drilling out the large industrial park.
Classic infrastructure and design on offer at Appleby on a grey Sunday afternoon as 43357 brings up the rear of 1Q17 10:22 Derby R.T.C. to York Holgate Siding with 43272 up front.
Built for the PRR in 1956 this GP9 in the service of the Adrian & Blissfield is passing by the classic mid-street grade crossing protection installation in downtown Blissfield. A former depot is half hidden behind the front of the Geep. Blissfield, MI 11/25/2022

FCAB 1412-1438-1432 rattle their way up Cumbre Pass with a short load of acid tanks.

All three engines on the First Coast Railway, FCRD GP16 1602, RLIX GP7 437, and FCRD GP10 1810, lead a mixed train from Yulee to Fernandina, FL with coal loads right behind the power for the RockTenn paper mill.
One of the most photographed sites in Iceland. Not really original but a location you don't want to miss when visiting Iceland...:)
CN 583 hits the throttle as they climb uphill out of Paris West with 3 GP9RMs (4131, 7025, 4136) pulling approximately 30 cars towards London. When these GP9RMs were rebuilt in the 1980s, CN expected them to last 20 years. With them coming up on 40 since those rebuilds, it's rather impressive to watch a trio handle a good sized train at speed.
A pair of classic machines from a bygone era meet at the Rox Road grade crossing in rural Three Churches West Virginia, as a motorist pauses for the passage of a southbound B&O passenger train. Fortunately, the manufacturers of both this Buick Electra and the EMD F7A Locomotive are still in business today, but sadly, the iconic styling of these fine machines is definitely a thing of the past.
This image was captured during a May 2021 photo shoot on the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad in Romney, WV, organized by Lerro Photography.
Bennet Levin's Juniata Terminal EP22 5809 was soaking up the Carolina sun at the Streamliner Event in 2014.
Monticello's Canadian National MLW FPA4 6789 was sitting in the distance; it's hard to believe how long it has been since this once in a lifetime event.
A pair of UPY GP15-1s lead the Troy Grove local west through Cortland, IL, where CNW searchlights still stand.
