Dropping downgrade into Detour, Utah, on the route over a snowy Soldier Summit on February 2, 2006, is a westbound Utah Railway coal train led by EMD/MK50-3 No. 5001. Currently, the Utah Railway is about to (or perhaps, already has) haul its last coal train over Soldier Summit. Over 100 years of hauling coal over the Wasatch Mountains comes to an end. Sad…
Breaking from the procession of cold pedestrians, one lone person heads into the warmth of the Marche Bonsecours in Old Montreal.

Another image of the Great Sand Dune National Park, taken soon after I crossed the Surge Flow.
Due to the detour (road closure) that delayed us by 3 hours, the sun was about to go below the dunes when we got there.
No epic golden colors here, just light and plenty of shadows; nevertheless, I'm happy with the few images that I got, and they are far better than the ones I took from the first visit in Sep 2019 - the early afternoon sun was flat and boring! 😉
The northeast region is having a heatwave, it's hot and humid ; oh "joy" of a hotter planet!
Have a fun-filled day, my dear Flickr friends!

There's lots to like about the old Central Vermont main across the Green Mountain State, with lots of scenic trestles and old stations lining the right of way. The line's normal freight trains (NECR 323 and 324) typically traverse the railroad in darkness, but this summer's Vermont Railway detour trains provided a welcome opportunity to shoot freight on the line in better light. Although the trains have used leased GMTX GP38s instead of VTR red, they still look great against the scenery of Vermont. On our last of three days chasing the detours, we shot northbound RDBD soaring over the Winooski River between Waterbury and Richmond.

A detoured Canadian Pacific empty coal train heads east at Paola, Montana, on BNSF Railway's Hi Line Subdivision. Two weeks ago, flooding devastated parts of British Columbia and although the CP and CN main lines have reopened, the railroads are still working to get operations back to normal, resulting in this rare detour. The train will head north at Shelby and get back on home rails at Coutts, Alberta. November 29, 2021.
A result of the replacement of the first of three spans on the Merchant's Bridge, Terminal's Bremen Job, symboled T302, returns back to Madison via the MacArthur Bridge early on a Tuesday morning. After shoving down the High Line and past Gratiot, just across the river in Missouri, the crew now descends the North Approach of the bridge after climbing up directly following the West Belt Job with a relief T301 crew onboard. The Bremen Job switches a variety of industries near Bremen Avenue, just North of the city and South of the Merchants Bridge. This detour around the city just about quadruples their travel from Madison to the Bremen Ave. area and back.
TRRA's SD60Is lead a detouring Terminal 101 under the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis, MO. Due to the Merchants bridge being out, TRRA and other railroads were detouring via the highline and the MacArthur bridge.
A short detour on the way home rewarded me with beautiful scenery along the Isar river.
Ein kleiner Abstecher auf der Heimfahrt belohnte mich mit einer schönen Landschaft an der Isar.
Since we can never know enough of God, says Origen in Homily 17 on Numbers, those who follow divine wisdom are as those living in tents, `with which they always walk and always move on, and the farther they go, so much more does the road still to walk grow long and stretch out endlessly.... For it never happens that a mind, enkindled by the spark of knowledge, can come to quiet repose; it is always called to move on, from the good to the better and from the better to still higher things.'

NS train 22H detours around the wreck at East Palestine, OH, down CSX's River Sub as symbol X900 at Iona Island in Tomkin's Cove, NY. This would be the last train to detour this route before the line was re-opened.
The last of a brief spurt of detoured Amtrak trains around the blocked First Street tunnel heads under the CP-CAPITOL signal bridge on the normally freight-only Alexandria Extension. After missing yesterday evening's detours due to some conflicts, I set my eyes on this morning's Silver Meteor in hopes that they'd be delayed enough to run up the Extension in daylight. Thankfully, they got delayed just enough waiting for a CSX pilot that the light was workable by the time they got underway on the freight only portion east of CP-VIRGINIA. With a limited window of time before meetings and nothing but a rented Bikeshare to work with for transportation, I scrambled over to the New Jersey Avenue overpass where I didn't have very long to wait before they pulled.
Full disclosure on editing: this is a composite of two different images, as the ideal shot in terms of shadows was angled just a bit too low and cut off the Washington Monument. The 4x3 aspect ratio the composite produces is much better than a default 3x2 shot, which makes it impossible to fit the top of the monument in frame. I filled in the upper sky with an earlier shot in the sequence, and tried to patch up the sky and other associated upper fringes as best as I could. Normally I'm not one for extreme post processing, but I'll likely never have a chance to shoot a move like this again so I wanted it to be perfect. This was only about an hour's work, so I may come back to Photoshop to perfect it later.
This is a CPR/SOO detour that took the old 911 route from St. Luc-Sudbury-SaultSte. Marie-Gladstone-Argonne-Fond du Lac-Schiller Park. This job went by my house around 4AM and I followed it to Gladstone in terrible weather getting a few pictures west of Isabella. Checking the weather it appeared to be a wash out for the remainder of the day but Mike Hoff struck gold on it near Fond du Lac when the sun popped out late in the afternoon. M636-Cat 4711 leads an SD and another M636 along with a solid train of COFC on the WC. This weeks SNS was shot on June 25, 1992. Chuck Schwesinger collection.
Floral City is set up as a great stopping and rest spot along the Withlacoochee State Trail. This is the Hampton's Edge Bike Shop right on the corner of town. Across the street is a nice gazebo set up for bikers to take a water and snack break before continuing on. It is 17 miles from the Ridge Manor trail head.

Happy Wall Wednesday!
For a few summers, while the Alton route was being upgraded, the Texas Eagle detoured via Villa Grove. At Tuscola one summer evening, train 21 moves west on the former C&EI mainline

Got word the "Zephyr's" are detouring via the UP this weekend account bridge work out on BNSF at Burlington. Witness #5 from today, departing out the northside at Racine Avenue with a winged 70M up front. This train will get to the east interlocking limits at Tower A2 (at Leavitt St.) on the Milwaukee side and sit, account cab-signal problems on this UP unit...How long they sat, I cannot say because I didn't wait that long, but it was going on 20mins and someone allegedly from UP's shops was on their way over to try and get it to work...and that, my friends, is what progress is all about!! Big thanks to the Jeep Liberty for the elevation at this normally low spot...
