This was taken over Christmas at Alresford railway station in Hampshire, home of the Watercress Line. Civilian and military re-enactors recreated the atmosphere of a 1940s Christmas on the railway. It was a lot of fun and a great chance to chat to and photograph some real characters. This lady was also a very good singer and entertained everyone with some of the wartime classics (PC270431_AP)

New England Central train 608 runs south on the Palmer Subdivision passing through Stafford Springs, CT heading for Willimantic. The matching pair of geeps in the original NECR scheme has been something worth shooting in New England.
223 072 with ALX 84137 (Lindau - Munich) on the 'Allgäubahn' between Röthenbach and Oberstaufen. The train continues to Immenstadt, where some additional coaches from Oberstdorf will be added for the final journey to Munich.
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
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.
All the employees in my department were given a "Fill Your Cup" day to spend doing whatever activity that brings us joy. Not surprisingly, I spent the entire day practicing still life photography. Vegetables seem to be a classic subject for still life photography, so I ran with it.
On a golden evening, NS 309 blasts under the CD-253 NYC signal with NS C40-9 8826 leading. This train sat in Rockport Yard for approximently four hours which is rediculous. It took the train two hours to get from CD-195-253. I couldn't have asked for a better day.
50049 and 50007 approach Pontrilas with 1Z50, a circular tour from Birmingham International in glorious conditions.
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
In a 1980's looking scene, the year is actually 2025 and the BN plow is tied down at Skykomish waiting for fresh snow that will call it into action.
The HDR classic auto photo is a bit clichéd, but we post it anyway. . . for the license plate . . . at a car collectors show in the park on Labor Day.
In RL I injured my right thumb. My whole hand is in a cast. I'm right-handed.
So, I have to use my stupid left hand for everything. And it's proving how stupid it is. lol
Anyway, because of that, I couldn't create a new Happy 4th pic. So, I drsgged an old one I never used out of mothballs and tried to tweak it with my deeply untalented left hand.
It's the spirit of the thing, right?
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, USA!
She likes the cool classics and in this stack she has Shakespeare’s Complete Works, Tolstoy’s Complete Works in two Volumes, The Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Rudyard Kipling’s Kim. Not bad for someone who can’t read, huh?. But, she has a lot of talent in other ways, like making you fall in love with her, etc. By the way, in case you hadn’t noticed, she’s a Manx cat and only has a small tuft of soft fur back there. Her Daddy is "Beautiful Blonde Bobby".

One of the most photographed sites in Iceland. Not really original but a location you don't want to miss when visiting Iceland...:)
BNSF 555 "Triple Nickel" leads Local102 West through Verona Illinois under an ATSF vintage cantilever on the BNSF Chillicothe Subdivision. 2/17/16
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.
For a few days during April vacation, my Dad and I went to the south in search of old GE's and some steam. The Pickens RR had U18B's 9502-9507 on the Anderson job, shown here switching "downtown" Anderson, SC on a warm April 21, 2017. The "new" former CSX B40's were parked and the old "Pumpkins" were running the railroad. The Belton job had another U18 making the whole day awesome. The people at the Pickens are super friendly and it made for a great day. Photo by Zach Carlson
A pair of UPY GP15-1s lead the Troy Grove local west through Cortland, IL, where CNW searchlights still stand.
CSX E482 cruises north up the Big Sandy Subdivision, with 263 leading another YN2 AC44 on the head end. Seeing a pair of YN2 AC44s leading a train together these days is quite uncommon, so after missing the train at Elkhorn City, we were happy to get a shot of it at Marrowbone.
CSXT train R004-13 is seen emerging from the 1400 ft long tunnel and approaching the School Street crossing at MP 0.6 on Providence and Worcester's Gardner branch as they head to Union Station and CP45 where they will get on home rails of CSXT's Boston Sub. This train consists of 100 empty system steel hoppers headed back to the Pennsylvania coal fields from Granite Shore Power's Merrimack Station in Bow, New Hampshire on CSXT/Pan Am's Northern Mainline.
Historically the plant, which was built by Public Service Company of New Hampshire in 1960 (unit 1) and 1968 (unit 2) was one of the Boston and Maine Railroad's most important customers. For decades an average of one 100 car train per week served the plant, and in 2008 (the most recent I could find online) over 534,000 tons were delivered. But in 2015 the plant transitioned from a base load station pumping out 482-megawatts from its two units to a peaker plant operating only during periods of extreme intermittent demand when generation is needed quickly to maintain electrical system stability on the grid. Today it remains, quite controversially, as the last coal fired plant in all of New England, and unit coal trains are few and far between these days. In fact this was the first one since the summer of 2020 (though a handful did run to Selkirk last winter and get cut up and sent in blocks on regularly scheduled manifest trains) so it rightfully drew lots of attention from local fans which was great to see.
I missed the loads going north last weekend but with perfect timing I decided to forgo a little sleep and try for the returning empties. This was even more of a treat since CSXT assigned the power off of M427 which was an old school classic quartet of two SD40-2s and two YN2 painted AC4400CWs. CSXT 8822 will be right at home when she swings west onto the old Boston and Albany at CP45 in less than a mile as she was blt. Sep. 1977 as Conrail 6413.
Historically this line belonged to the Boston and Maine Railroad, but the just under 3.5 miles of former mainline from the division post in downtown Worcester to Barbers junction along with the entirety of the Gardner branch were sold by the trustees of that bankrupt road to the newly independent P&W in 1974. As for this tunnel, it dates from 1956 when it was built to remove the railroad from the middle of busy Lincoln Square.

IRM's former Burlington Northern E9 9908 was undergoing restoration after arriving as MARC 92 in 2014.
Scuttlebutt has this motor slated to be restored to its original paint. CB&Q silver will once again adorn this covered wagon.
Assisting the 9908 was rolling rustbucket Milwaukee Road E9 37A which will also be restored eventually to its as-built appearance.
