A pair of BNSF Geeps shove a tanks and two insulated boxcars down the spur to spot Building 20 in the Spokane Business & Industrial Park. The crew would only spot the tank here and deliver the two boxcars to Building 32, but this spur also receives boxcars. At least five warehouses in the industrial park receive boxcars and they all seem to be a mix of these new Lineage Logistics 60' insulated boxcars and older standard height 60' cars. I don't know if they are all different customers that incidentally get the same type of car, or if it's largely one or two clients that use multiple warehouses. The rail to the right is used to switch out cars it appears but doesn't reach any other active customers. Spokane, WA
Connecticut Southern local CSO-3 backs into the new Home Depot Warehouse in South Windsor, CT. This customer sees quite a bit of traffic since opening last year.
Thanks to Ψ Dover Highland's Ψ for their patience and good vibes.

There were a few WC units lettered for different things over the years. 7551, 3012 and CR 3312 lead GBSOA at Gilchrist on January 31, 1999. The run through CR GP40(or any other run through power) wasn't common east of Gladstone. The little trees that had recently been planted in this location are probably 25 feet tall now and this location that I'd shot from 1975 through the WC era is now grown in, not that your likely to see a morning eastbound here anyway nowadays.
Call it "Serving the Customer Saturday," I suppose! On December 29, 2020, Vermont Rail System's New York and Ogdensburg Railway (NYOG) -- using VTR 801 -- shoves two boxcars for APC Paper down their spur in Norfolk, NY. The track to the right is the NYOG's "main," which was originally the Norwood and St. Lawrence Railroad (and later the St. Lawrence & Raquette River).
This is the one and only time I've caught the NYOG serving APC Paper, but -- ironically -- APC's predecessor, St. Regis Paper, was the owner of the original railroad, the Norwood and St. Lawrence Railroad. The brief history (off the top of my head and not from Wikipedia) is that St. Regis Paper eventually decided they no longer wanted the railroad, so they offered it for free (as a nice tax write off) to the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority (OBPA). The OBPA already owned what was left of the old Rutland line between Ogdensburg and Norwood, so -- with the added trackage -- the St. Lawrence & Raquette River was formed. The NYOG succeeded the St. Lawrence & Raquette River as the operator of the OBPA-owned trackage (in 2002, I think).

Excerpt from www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/community/art_archi_wanchai.html:
Art in station architecture
Artwork Title:
This is Wan Chai
Artist Name:
Jevan Chowdhury
Location:
Wan Chai Station
Artwork Completion Date:
March 2020
Concept:
“This is Wan Chai” is an observation of the theatrical stage that everyday life presents, as seen through the lens of magical realism. Images of Wan Chai’s iconic heritage are enriched by the performances of over 40 principal, soloist, coryphée and corps de ballet dancers from the Hong Kong Ballet as well as members of the public. Spanning a length of approximately 150 metres, the artwork reimagines and reinvents the station as a public space at the heart of the local community. In this way, the station is transformed into a living stage of choreographed street scenes that commuters play their part in as they pass through.
“This is Wan Chai” is part of the “Moving Cities” series. Commissioned by MTR Corporation and jointly initiated with Hong Kong Design Centre, it was made in collaboration with Hong Kong Ballet, Treacle Media, UK’s Department for International Trade and Conran + Partners. Moving Cities is part of an on-going global inventory of film and photographic work in which world cities are transcribed through dance.
While switching a customer the afternoon crew nears the eastward distant approach signal for the CSX diamond at Wilson.
After arriving back into Cadillac, the afternoon job pulls empty hoppers from what I think is Wyoming Warehouse. This transload is just south of the loco shops in Cadillac.

Rather than the decorations, the aroma of meats cooking over slow burning wood provides the ambience at Mary's Pit Bar-B-Que in Maysville, Alabama

These peonies are in the display case at Mahoney's Nursery. I snapped a couple photos while shopping for cut flowers to photograph.
The affection for nature is a deep and unspoken bond, where the serenity of the wilderness soothes the soul. Every whisper of wind and rustle of leaves speaks to our innate longing for peace and harmony. In nature's embrace, we find solace, renewal, and a profound sense of belonging.
I&M Rail Link borrowed MRL's business train to show off the railroad to shippers. Here it is eastbound at LeClaire, IA.

The Bozeman Local switches the R-Y Timber company's mill on the south side of Livingston MT on June 16, 2022. The customer is accessed via the Park City Branch from the yard in Livingston. The branch once led to Yellowstone National Park and hosted passenger trains to and from the park. Public highways and the private automobile put a stop to that decades ago. The branch is now nothing more than a mile and a half long if that. The remainder is a hiking/biking trail.

I was passing what was apparently a candle shop when I noticed customers asking the merchants to pose for an iphone photo....I shot through the front window rather than going into the shop.
What's wrong with this photo? 20 cylinder locomotives? pulpwood, with double stacks? "Customer Minded Employees" spelled out on the long hood, what?
The WC era was fading away like the logo on the nose of 7551 20 years ago on this day but evidence was still everywhere. The gondola of logs was picked up off the siding at Somerset taking its place ahead of the stacks. It's a fitting example of how WC would seek out what ever traffic there was to be had along their routes. January 5, 2002.
