Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5407 pulls an export coal train through Ironton, Utah the evening of June 18, 1986. The 84-car train will be delivered to the Union Pacific interchange in Provo.
Norfolk Southern C40-8 #8749 brings #055 south out of Atlanta, GA with a few Caterpillar loads bound for Savannah, GA for export. Another cool train that has unfortunately been discontinued.
An East bound Coal train on the James River Viaduct at Richmond , VA heading towards Newport News from where it will be shipped for exports. On the left side can be seen the famous Jefferson Hotel where the movie 'Gone with the Wind' was shot. The two Units in YN2 Paint scheme were still fairly common.
I'm on a mission, perhaps not attainable, to shoot all of the SD70s before they are rebuilt into those wide cab abominations. I'm not sure I'll get it done but we'll see.
Here's one of those spartan cab 70s, of the ex-Conrail variety, pulling mixer 10G into Enola Yard with a cut of Camrail exports fresh out of the GE plant in Erie.
Both of these, the standard cab and the Erie exports are on borrowed time. A two for one!
Another round of Pakistan GE locomotive exports round the bend into Enola, along with a British Rail Class 70 for Colas Rail. Pulling the high and wide load is SD70M-2 No. 2693.

Under a crazy sky, exports bound for Egypt make their way east under the old N&W coaling tower in Vicker, VA behind an ES44AC.

Along the tracks at the border of Colorado and Kansas. This view, looking west, is of Colorado. The monument, with "KANSAS" painted on it the side, has "COLORADO" on the other.
I'm not fully sure I understand the purpose here. There are two identical pillars on each side of the tracks. They do not announce which state the train is entering. Instead, "KANSAS" is on the Kansas side of the line. "COLORADO" is on the Colorado side.
It's a bit confusing if you don't know where you are. Thankfully, that wasn't a problem for me.
I shot a few of this scene - two color and one b&w. I'm not overly jazzed about any of them and would love a second attempt. Maybe someday.

An interesting slice of history as cigarette advertising is now banned.
Same junk yard as where I found the two trucks. Reminds me of tv shows like American Pickers.

On what may very well be the last export coal train on the Alaska Railroad the rear DPs cross Upper Trail Lake at Moose Pass, AK
A GE C40-8 and two GE C36-7s pull a Skyline, Utah - Los Angeles, California export coal train through Springville, Utah the afternoon of Feb. 23, 1992. It appears the Wasatch Mountains have received a dusting of new snow, including 11,753 Mt. Timpanogos, on the left.
Another batch of General Electric ES58ACi locomotives for VALE Mining in Brazil head down the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch. Train 098 is heading for Norfolk, VA where the locomotives will continue on to South America by ship.

The next round of GEU-40 locomotives destined for Pakistan sits outside the GE Locomotive plant in Erie, PA.
These made their way toward Virginia through feet of snow yesterday, March 14th.
Following on from the last two uploads, there seems to be a common theme occurring, it’s not worth going out the house these days there’s nothing left!
86608 & 86632 cruse past Mill Meece with 4M87 on Friday 5th June 2020, I’d wanted this shot for a number of years and had set my stall out to give it ago regardless of the poor forecast knowing time was running out for the AL6’s. Sometimes, not very often admittedly everything just drops into place, the sun wouldn’t have been on the front had it turned up on time but with issues at Northampton the train ended up running 30 late…
DB oil-burning 'Jumbo' 043 636-0 (running as 43 636) thunders through the drizzle at Salzbergen, with a heavy coke train for Emden Docks, on Saturday 20th August 1977.

A Borgward B1500 Pick Up in Bremen.
Special "Pick Up" export version of the B1500 only for the USA.
The B1500 was also sold in germany, but it had a different bed.
A heavy loaded export ore train (CN U724) dips at the Amnicon River at Rockmont on the CN Superior Subdivision mainline. The train is starting to grind up the grade that crests at Hines. Good thing CN double-tracked the mainline here - it certainly makes a big difference with getting trains out of the Lake Superior Basin. For reference, the original mainline is on the left while the newer is to the right with a slight jog.
Although the demand for crab is less in our country, it is in great demand abroad. Live crabs are exported from Bangladesh to various countries in Southeast Asia.
The recent high market value of crabs has given rise to new interest among coastal people. In the coastal rivers and adjoining canals of Khulna, Satkhira, Bagerhat, Chittagong and Cox's Bazar, large numbers of crab fry were caught in the nets of shrimp fry collectors. Moreover, in tidal waters, crab fry enter the shrimp enclosure and grow there. As a result, along with the shrimp, a lot of crabs are also available as an additional resource.
আমাদের দেশে কাঁকড়ার চাহিদা কম থাকলেও বিদেশে এর প্রচুর চাহিদা রয়েছে। বাংলাদেশ থেকে জীবন্ত কাঁকড়া দক্ষিণ-পূর্ব এশিয়ার বিভিন্ন দেশে রফতানি করা হয়।
সম্প্রতিক উপকূলবাসীর মধ্যে কাঁকড়ার উচ্চ বাজারমূল্য নতুন আগ্রহের জন্ম দিয়েছে। খুলনা, সাতক্ষীরা, বাগেরহাট, চট্টগ্রাম ও কক্সবাজারের উপকূলীয় নদী ও সংলগ্ন খালসমূহে চিংড়ি পোনা সংগ্রহকারীদের জালে প্রচুর পরিমাণে কাঁকড়ার পোনা ধরা পড়ে। তাছাড়া জোয়ারের পানিতে কাঁকড়ার পোনা চিংড়ির ঘেরে প্রবেশ করে সেখানে বড় হয়। ফলে চিংড়ির সাথে বাড়তি সম্পদ হিসেবে প্রচুর কাঁকড়াও পাওয়া য়ায়।
While the Export Coal train runs no more I pulled this shot from the archives from a couple of summers ago. The three MAC are the DP units on this southbound coal train with three more up front. While it certainly doesn't look like all this horsepower is necessary it will be before long as to get to Seward the railroad must climb Grandview & Divide Hills both with grades around 3%. That is pretty steep even for a short 70 car coal train.
PN's 8803 passes over the bridge in Oonoonba, on hte outskirts of Townsville, with 6J77 export sugar train to Townsville Jetty.
A fairly crusty looking ex Nord (59) Departement, France Peugeot J9 van seen waiting for the boat to West Africa at a Dutch yard.
Locomotive 45 188 with freight train 48121 carrying sand from Vetovo to Turkey caught shortly after changing direction at Sindel. On the back of the train is locomotive 44 102 of BDZ Cargo.
Back to the current day and in comparison to yesterday's upload, a shortline that is very much not shabby in appearance. Mississippi Export keeps their power painted and quite sharp in their traditional black and gold, and the new 6-axle pair has the Evanston Road Switcher rolling through Agricola on a perfect November morning.
