Wikipedia: Canadian National 89 is a E-10-a class 2-6-0 "Mogul" type steam locomotive, built in February 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT). Originally number No. 1009, it was renumbered to No. 911 in 1919. It then came under Canadian National (CN) ownership in 1923 when the Grand Trunk merged. It was then renumbered again to No. 89 in 1951. Most of No. 89's early life is a mystery, but it spent the latter part of its working life in Quebec until retirement in 1958 and being stored in the deadline in Montreal. It was purchased by F. Nelson Blount in 1961, who sent it to operate on the Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC) and later Steamtown, U.S.A.. It was then purchased in 1972 by the Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) who were looking for an engine to pull the half-hour trains. As of 2025, it is in operation at the Strasburg Railroad.
What a beautiful piece of machinery! All motorbike enthusiasts will recognise this as twin cylinder 998cc Vincent engine, probably dating from around the late 1940s. I spotted the bike in Looe, but it had a couple of seriously ugly metal pannier boxes on the back, so I decided not to photograph the whole of it. I suspect it could be a B series Rapide, dating from 1946 onwards. The HRD name was apparently dropped in 1950 to avoid confusion with the American Harley Davidson (HD).

Shades of purple everywhere: F40PH No. 1017, a regular engine on the Lowell Line, brings train 326 with its "six pack of Budds" south at Montvale Avenue in Woburn on a humid 12 July 1988.

Big gutsy Erie Lackawanna SDP45 3666 waits alongside a Belt train at Pullman Jct. for a Rock Island train to clear. Both trains went across the junction side by side. July 1974.
In Proctor, Minnesota. This engine is 127'*' long, requires 25,000 gallons of water, 26 tons of coal and when retired had driven 694,360 miles. Part of the Duluth Mining and Iron Range Railway.
A pair of Ex-SP SD45T-2s, one bearing KYLE reporting marks and the other bearing MNA reporting marks, bring MNA train MNAKC-08 past the General Mills plant as they come out of 103 and down the Low Line before shoving into 202 here at UP's Neff Yard. This train came out of MNA's Pearl Yard in Carthage, MO and is yarding itself here at UP's Neff Yard. They'll pick up their outbound on 102 and head back south later this afternoon.
You just can't pass up the opportunity to shoot a pair of SP tunnel motors in 2019. For the longest time, I've been wanting to get a shot of the MNA next to the General Mills plant provided they actually pull down this far and they get in town late enough for the sun to swing around. Being able to have this chance was really great, and to have the 9362, the best looking of the three SP painted tunnel motors on the MNA, on the point is a nice bonus too. 4/9/19.
I was messing around trying to build an engine to go into a new MOC for this months LUGNuts challenge, and I decided to pull out all my MOC engines to have a look at them together. All in all they're pretty much similar, yet all done differently. I sure like that jet blade piece! None of them are based on anything real, some of them have their exhaust pipes removed, and two of them haven't been used yet.

The theme of the weekend is the Somerset & Dorset which explains the disc headcode which was used on the S&D for a stopping train.
After waiting for a bit at the former pig ramp until "Run 33" finishes switching at West Wye, CPKC train YKK24-27 eases up the lead alongside the Hansen-Mueller elevator with a gray KCS GP38-2 and several flat cars with a few strings of welded rail. They'll make a brief stop at West Wye Tower for some paperwork before leaving Knoche for Grandview. It's a pretty underwhelming train, but it's cool to see some KCS "battleship gray" again.
This engine started life on the Toledo, Peoria & Western in May of 1977 as the TPW No. 2001. After the "Tip-Up" merged with the Santa Fe, it became ATSF No. 3561, later renumbered to 2370 and even being repainted into the "Kodachrome" paint scheme in the midst of the ill-fated "SPSF" merger. It was repainted again into the "Yellowbonnet" scheme, and eventually sold as the GMTX No. 2370 before KCS picked it up. It was the KCS No. 4029 before being renumbered as the 1921 as a newly delivered SD70ACe took its number. 9/27/25.
This is our Neighbor's third steam engine he bought three weeks ago.
Here it's hooked up to a big pot cooking chili later in the day it pulled the Kiddy ride around.
Have a nice Wednesday.

Rolling stock of two railroads at the Campbell Hall, NY New Jersey Transit. Station. The station is on the Erie Railroad's Graham Cutoff. This was a freight only line through the Erie, Erie Lackawanna, and Conrail years. It only began to see passenger service when Conrail abandoned the old Erie main line through Orange County. The Eries branch to Maybrook and Montgomery has been turned over to the short line Middletown and New Jersey Railroad when this trackage became taken over by Norfolk Southern.
Engine fogging is caused by very high air speed reducing the pressure, causing water in the air to rapidly condense. It's the same condition you see on aircraft traveling near the speed of sound.
