On a sunny 31/07/20 43317 leads 1C15 0519 Leeds-St Pancras EMR working through Sawley. By the time I've got around to processing this shot, EMR have long dispensed with HSTs, and have stopped running any trains to/from Leeds too!

EMR Train 909-22 slows to a crawl, as the train approaches the west end of Kirby Siding on 9/22/2025.

 

For around the next hour, the crew will be busy interchanging with CSX, before shoving back to Kirby to run around the inbound train, for the run back west.

Today marks the 30th anniversary since the New Brunswick Southern Railway came to be. Here's a bit of a throwback to a couple years ago, when the frigid cold caused NBM to run multiple daylight trains. NBSR/EMR 121 is seen rolling through the VACIS at Vanceboro after meeting a 908 at McAdam on February 3, 2023. NBSR 6408 & 6409 were on their maiden run with Irving, as the long westbound stretches between the Canada/US border.

43272 going like a rocket on the up fast at Cossington with 1C15, the 05.19 Leeds - St.Pancras on Thurs 22nd April 2021.

The first section of Eastern Maine Railway Train 907-26 crosses Route 2 in Mattawamkeag on 1/26/2022. At the time catching a SD70M-2 leading was fairly hard to do, with only 6 on the property and several down as trail only.

 

On this day SD70M-2's 6401 and 6402 along with NBSR SD40-2 8144 teamed up to move a lengthy train over EMR. In addition to this 907, a second one was crossing into the US about the time these guys hit Mattawamkeag. I can't remember if that one had a lease unit leading or if I wouldn't get them anywhere before dark, but I stuck with these guys the rest of the way to Brownville Jct.

The Emergency Medical Retrieval Service (EMRS), provides patients with life threatening conditions in remote and rural areas of Scotland, with rapid access to the skills of a consultant in emergency or intensive care medicine. The consultants are ready to respond to requests for help, by helicopter or plane, within minutes.

 

SGHD funded a west coast pilot of EMRS for 18 months commencing in June 2008. Over the 18 months to the end of November 2009 EMRS has undertaken 356 retrievals and given advice on a further 283 patients.

Approaching the Canadian border a few hundred feet behind me, EMR Train 908-4 will soon finish the day in McAdam.

 

Vanceboro is home to 100 or so residents, EMR's MOW office, the US Border crossing, a general store I have seen open maybe 3 times in 5 years, and that's about it.

 

The winter of 2023 was slightly busier, with the paper mill at Woodland unloading logs on one of the sidings. Due to the unusually warm winter, logging companies were unable to operate many of the dirt logging roads which either washed out, or were impassable due to mud.

 

As a result the mill began shipping logs from the colder climate of northern Maine by rail. Even with 6-7 day a week service at the mill, the railroad couldn't keep up with log consumption by the chipper. So logs began to be unloaded at Vanceboro and were then trucked to the mill, hence the various log loaders in the yard. Out of view was around 3500 feet of empty log cars, awaiting pick up by 121 later that night. 908 the following day would backhaul some loaded cars from McAdam to be unloaded.

After photographing 47749 from this bridge, we went for a walk which turned into a bit of a muddy mess. On our return I thought I'd try and take something arty with the dog, and whipped her up into sprinting up and down which led to her excitedly jumping up me, and covering me with all that mud off her paws...I'd hoped to have caught her a couple of steps further back to get more of a reflection but she was too quick.. 222016 passes on 1F22 St Pancras-Sheffield, Breaston 02/11/22.

Having started life as 4 Car Class 222/1 pioneer unit, 222104 is seen at Sheffield in its new 5 car formation. (Two 7 coach meridians, 222005 and 222006 were reduced to 5 coach meridians, to strengthen the ex 222/1 pioneers, to 5 cars.) Despite being the only meridian to receive the full EMR livery, at this time, the added coach was still in the interim livery, till EMR finally put the added coach in vinyl too.
