A pair of UPY GP15-1s lead the Troy Grove local west through Cortland, IL, where CNW searchlights still stand.
CN 5423, CN 2035, and an SD60 hold short of Pickle Rd. near Toledo, waiting on NS traffic at Vickers to clear before heading south towards its destination. The 5423 is leading CN 383, the Toronto - CSX Walbridge manifest. The stacks for the Toledo Refining Company can be seen looming in the background.

L75 runs west into the evening sun with 75 or so coil loads and a solo veteran ex-BN SD40-2 for power. They're crossing the bridge over the Auglaize River while passing through Oakwood.
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.

Thanks to the Fansproject Crossfire 02 sets, the Combaticons get some updated members as well as a slew of armaments.
Classic looking Swindle and Blast Off take the place of the original cloned molds with more show accurate designs.
The number of new weapons on Onslaught borders on rediculous with all of the stuff he can now carry.
L-R: Blast Off (Explorer), Swindle (Munitioner), Onslaught, Brawl, and Vortex.

NYAR RS-40 heads through Bethpage in the vicinity of the old Grumman Plant and Airport, today with a pair of 1976 EMD classics. Lately, the 268 and PR20B 300 have held down this job and evening Mainline job RS-80, but the 271 has been swapped in for this trip.
Today, #1 on the roster has the usual One World Recycling cars, as well as a boxcar and centerbeam for Century Building Products, located on the same spur in Lindenhurst.
Yesterday afternoon I went up the coast to the town of Camden, Maine where they were hosting a four day sailing event. I was one of several photographers who were on board a lobster boat fitted with benches and we followed the regatta as they raced. There were a lot of sailing boats that when we saw them they were spaced out in a long line on their return leg to Camden. Below is a blurb from the website.
The Camden Classics Cup is one of the world’s most beautiful regattas - sailed where the mountains meet the sea off the lovely harbor town of Camden, Maine. The Camden Classics Cup aims to give sailors the time of their lives with terrific on-the-water racing, and stellar onshore events.
Presented by Lyman-Morse with support from the CYOA, the Camden Classics Cup is a celebration of both classic yacht racing and boatbuilding. Featuring 2-days of racing for sailboats and a panoramic backdrop for powerboats. Participants will have access to Lyman-Morse's facilities, and a full weekend of events in the lovely town of Camden!
We are very excited to be planning the 9th Annual Camden Classics Cup, July 24-26, 2025.

A variety of motive power sits at NRE in Silvis, IL. Sadly most of what you see here will most likely be scrapped. The old Chevy in the foreground will outlive most of the motive power.
We spotted these lovely classics in a garage and stopped to chat to the chaps there, who kindly let me take a snap. I am pretty sure that legally you can't drive these unless you are wearing a pinstripe suit and a Fedora hat.

YN2 CW44s barks uphill through the heart of downtown Birmingham, Alabama, with Nashville-bound train M520. Numbers 38 and 13 are members of CSX's first order of their once-ubiquitous CW44ACs, which are now firmly on the endangered species list as CSX mercilessly marches on with their CM44AC rebuild program, equipping these tired old GEs with upgraded internals, new cabs, and unfortunately, new paint. As of this posting, CSXT 13 is in Erie, Pennsylvania, at the GE overhaul shop waiting for its turn on the chopping block.

Compositionally not great, but with a green 37 and 2 railfreight 20s who cares. 37521 drags 20118 and 20132 from Crewe to Barrow Hill passing Chesterfield.
It's been a few days (felt like forever) since I worked on a project or uploaded one to social media. Had issues with my software. All is well now
Fore River Railroad B23-7 101 (blt. in Jul. 1979 as CR 1992) is just under a year older than the cylindrical covered hopper she is passing beside. Both styles of locomotive and freight car are synonymous with 1980s railroading. The large bold Santa Fe lettering on the rusty old car belies its heritage and seems appropriate next to the vintage four motor GE as the ATSF was a major buyer of the model. In fact with 69 units the Santa Fe had the third largest fleet of B23-7s in the US behind the MoPac with 85 and Conrail with 141
I've written extensively about the Fore River before, but if you missed it check out the caption with this older photo: flic.kr/p/2juf2nG
