Many years after Centralized Traffic Control was removed on this portion of LS&I trackage, CN's L539 passes beneath another deactivated signal installation near Negaunee, Michigan on a warm Spring morning in the Upper Peninsula. Just about anything neat and odd about railroading today can be found in the region.
Eastbound loaded grain on the left handed eastbound track in Double Track Rule 251 ATC territory of the Clinton Subdivision. Today the Union Pacific operates through here with two main track CTC.
BNSF 3274 and its short work train enter the siding at "CTC West Springer" where they will tie down overnight. This location is the start of CTC going east as far as Trinidad, CO, and TWC/ABS going west as far as Rowe, NM.
BNSF 3274 - 7905

Red & Silver BNSF 783 leads an 11 car work train past the east end of Rowe siding, leaving TWC/ABS territory and entering CTC. The Raton & Glorieta subdivisions are like a step back in time, with active codeline, searchlight and semaphore signals, and jointed rail. Unfortunately there's no regular freight traffic, just random extra moves like this one.
Near the western extent of long defunct joint CTC is this signal mast at Ishpeming West, a reminder of busier times.
Some nice fall colors along the Elbow Lake Sub near Hoffman in October 2009. Train 198 hustles toward its next stop for a crew change in Glenwood. In the years before CTC, this line was a throwback to days gone by with track warrant control and hand lined sidings. Now on most days the 198 skips the crew change at Glenwood and runs all the way from Enderlin to St Paul.
Get to know a Vibrant community full of creative, adventurous and social neighbors!
art galleries galore, clubs, social groups, sailing, fishing you name it its most likely here!
Un saludo a todos desde el "destierro". Esta foto es de los últimos días de agosto, y para variar, los del control de tráfico, estaban pensando en la mona de pascua. Un cercanias destino Valencia, espera a que el destino Castellón abandone la general y le den vía libre para entrar a Massalfassar. Trenes mercantes no veremos, pero reirnossssssssssss. Por cierto alguien puede pasarme la malla de Beniel y de Ortihuela?
On the following day after catching this trio on another empty stone train, we once again see them on lime stone empties at the CTC south Alborn running around a outlawed rail train on a frosty morning.
Canadian Pacific SD70ACu 7019 rolls down the west leg of the Wye at Sabula, Iowa departing the Davenport Subdivision and entering the limits of the Marquette Subdivision in the process. The handsome heritage-painted SD70ACu has drawn the lead spot on train 475, the Kansas City to St. Paul freight. With a warrant all the way to Dubuque and no work at Sabula the engineer has the train rolling at what at least seemed pretty close to track speed.
The power is rolling over the switches for the north end of the wye here at Sabula, a spot known as CTC Lake. The very short stretch of track that makes up the north leg of the wye diverges to the left in the distance. At least at one time it was known as the "Bay Subdivision" - appropriately named since it runs from CTC Lake to CTC Island (the east wye switch). It's one of the shortest subdivisions you're ever likely to see at only about 0.3 miles long. As I understand it, that leg of the wye had to be given a separate name in the ICE's computer system back in the day (the Chicago subdivision makes up the south leg), and thus why it got a unique name. Not 100% sure if it's still in the CP timetable this way, but it was in 2014 at least.
This CTC machine once controlled the Nickel Plate Road east of Cleveland. It is now on display at the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, Pennsylvania. (Scanned from a slide)
An empty grain train departs Laurel for points east leaving the CTC and entering the 251 territory to East Billings on the MRL.

Dedication to all the ATSF photographers posting the beautiful desert views. This is what it looked like from my vantage point. This was taken at my work station at SOC Schaumburg,IL. at time and date shown lower right. This is the pull down command screen where the actual cursor work is executed. The larger overview screen Belen thru Gallup to Winslow is out of view. A westbound has cleared Grants. QLANY is passing Laguna. I have requested the EWD signal at Dalies,but the switch lockup arrows are not quite processed yet,so the signal is in flash mode. Will immediately request WWD signal at Dalies there after,as HDABA is clearing Xovers Belen. Note:the lockup arrows have not released with the rear end still not clear. Also a yard move lined towards Isleta. After leaving BN for warmer digs, a few years stint on SP at Roseville was cut short by a failing SP. ATSF made some of us an offer we couldn't refuse. Two of us took them up on it. A first class operation.
The 7 Tilden job with 3009/3073 rolls light through Eagle Mills Junction en route to Tilden for another load of ore for Marquette. How I would have loved to have been here in the late 1960s when the Tracy mine was still feeding Soo, C&NW and LS&I just past where the units are. Once a fairly extensive CTC system is now down to this stretch between Eagle Mills Junction and Empire Junction.
Prince Tech's Damarion Wilson clears a hurdle on the way to winning the Mens 55m hurdle event with a time of 7.90 seconds in the CTC Indoor Championships Monday.
TE11 with the famously smokey 2263, throttles up while going under the disused tunnel cut signal bridge. Based on their traffic, they look to be heading to interchange with CN at their Southern Yard.
The signal bridge was built in the late 60s for the CTC in the tunnel under the Welland canal and was used by TH&B, NYC, Wabash and CN for 3 through-lines (Wabash/CN Air Line ie. Cayuga Sub, the CASO and TH&B ie. Hamilton Sub). Now it just sits and watches CPs through traffic on the Hamilton Sub, CN and CP heading to the Trillium interchange in Feeder Yard (track off to the left) and probably the occasional Trillium headroom move. Always laughed the thought of these signal bridges being disused having been erected so recently (relative to the rest of the local rail lines). "Modern history", if you will.
45 years of membership on 1 June 2015...my mother gave me the pin,when I was 16, and its been on my handlebar bag or saddlebag ever since.
Pár évvel ezelőttig szinte csak akkor fényképeztem buszokat (akkor is elsősorban Ikarusokat), amikor éppen beléjük botlottam. Most már jó ideje van szerencsém évente megfordulni Hévízen, így az elmúlt időkben készült pár kép, bár főleg az autóbusz-állomáson. Ezen a 2006-os felvételen épp pihenőjét tölti a Berlint is megjárt, korai kivitelű 415-ös.
CN 7226 is on non-CTC track (the east Side Canal Bank Spur) as it waits its turn to leave this line for the CTC-equipped Montreal Sub, once CN 120 clears the north track.
