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.

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.

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.

I think we can guess what's about to happen, I shall refrain from posting the next three/four frames!
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…
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.

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.
3/2023 - Export, PA
A Pittsburgh & Lake Erie flatcar is landlocked on what's left of the Turtle Creek Industrial RR, which shut down several years ago.
Turkey was the only export market for the spectra. IETT took a number and these were still running until recently. 94-058 is seen here just after repaint at the massive central works outside Istanbul in 2008.

ET42-036 with a freight train with coal for export is passing the remotely controlled Gdańsk Motława Most junction post. Track no. 2 was then the only active track between this post and Pruszcz Gdański station. January 23, 2005.
More coal then went to ports and out to sea than the other way round, opposite to today.

ET42-036 z pociągiem towarowym z węglem wjeżdża na zdalnie sterowany posterunek odgałęźny Gdańsk Motława Most. Tor 2 był wtedy jedynym czynnym torem między tym posterunkiem a Pruszczem Gdańskim. 23 stycznia 2005 roku.
Wówczas więcej węgla szło do portów i na morze, niż w przeciwną stronę, jak to można zaobserwować obecnie.
