In the final waning light of day, Savannah Port Terminal Railroad / Rail Link Z103 eases its way through the newly expanded Mason Mega Rail Terminal at the Port of Savannah. This massive project combined the two separate intermodal yards owned by both class ones that call on Savannah into a massive, continuous yard that can handle up to 8 10,000 foot intermodal trains at a time.
In the lead is Georgia Central GP9R 1800, a former Grand Trunk Battle Creek rebuild that was built new for the GT in 1956.

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.

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.
I had a day trip to York in June 1984, mainly for the race meeting, but with a circular tour of the city on the way there. First port of call was generally the Station Hotel car park, where I tended to get my annual fix of the Wahl operation - they certainly didn't visit Manchester on the tour itineraries !
Setra Rational A115 UYN was only a month old when found here, and spent 3 seasons with Wahl, then being one of a large number of this batch to be exported to South Africa.
The rear DPU on a grain train heads away from the camera as it passes the southern end of Vancouver Yard. This train is likely headed for one of the export terminals along the Columbia River a short distance north of here.
In Whyalla, South Australia, Aurizon narrow gauge (1067mm) locos 2269/1301 are propelling their train of export iron ore back towards the 'tip pocket' within the Liberty Steel steelworks complex, just on sunset 4 September 2023.

Timber is a major export
This is Waimahara Wharf, Shakespeare Bay. It was opened in 2000. The wharf is owned and operated by Port Marlborough.
Aurizon Siemens German built 3800 class 3805 heads a train of coal wagons south to Gladstone approaching Mt.Larcom. This locomotive, which will be accompanied by others in the middle and rear of train is still in the year's old QR National Eagle livery, one which personally I hate. Is that black thing over the cab supposed to be a wing...and why?
An ex Italian operated Mercedes Benz O303 touring coach at a Belgian dealers yard.
This former Puccioni of Castelfiorentino machine is of particular interest as it has Padane of Modena bodywork.
Trathens of Yelverton had two right-hand drive versions of this combination new in 1980, and there were just 10 of these bodies built (7 on Volvo B10M & 1 on a Leyland Tiger) for UK operators as I believe they were rather pricey by comparison with other builders.
I'd guess at this fine looking coach being a similar age, but it's certainly no newer than 1992 as Padane had gone bankrupt by then- and I also think the O303 chassis was replaced by the O404 around this time too.
66149 arrives at the car terminal in Southampton docks.. The train was loaded with Range Rovers. Any help identifying the service would be appreciated.
It was 2010 and I had just finished loading a boat to ship and was on my way home. It was a nice surprise to get this shot, one I had been after for a long time and great to have the car transporting ship in the background.

CSX T233 knocks down the restricting signal at "HRT", the last such signal on the CSX ex C&O Peninsula Sub in Newport News, VA. The coal will be transloaded to barge at Dominion Terminal.
The Import/Export Compound in Munich, Germany.
It was founded in 2010 as a space for unlimited exchange and communication beyond social and cultural borders. It describes itself as a “cultural and multifunctional canteen” and is one of the beating creative hearts in Munich. You can visit concerts and exhibitions there and of course find some very interesting graffitis.

A double classic! First because this European Citroën CX Pallas D has never been officially exported to the USA and secondly because this Citroën is more than 30 years old. The driver was obviously used to the attention and greeted me warmly. And I found out this specific car is on the Wikipedia photo page to illustrate the fact that this car is very special in the USA.
Citroën CX
The Citroën CX is an automobile produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1974 to 1991. Citroën sold nearly 1.2 million CXs during its 16 years of production. The CX was voted European Car of the Year in 1975. The name CX is the French equivalent abbreviation of Cd for drag coefficient in English, drawing attention to the car's aerodynamic styling, which was uncommon in 1974.
It is considered by some enthusiasts as the last "real Citroën" before Peugeot took control of the company in 1976.
Available models were a four-door fastback, a station wagon (break, or estate car), and a long-wheelbase model built on the break chassis. The CX employed Citroën's unique hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system.
The CX was never sold in North American markets by PSA Peugeot Citroën, but Americans were still able to obtain the car by other means.
In 1974, the final nail in the coffin of Citroën selling autos in North America was delivered—the decision by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to prohibit passenger vehicles with height-adjustable suspension. Citroën actually built 1974-model-year cars for the U.S., but was barred from selling them. For many years, Citroën had been running into issues where U.S. design legislation fixed older technologies in place, and prohibited certain engineering innovations "not invented here", including items in many automobile designs today, like mineral oil brake fluid, aerodynamic headlights, and directional headlights. The wisdom of these regulations has since been reconsidered and most have been repealed in the light of developing technology.
Since the height-adjustable suspension was an integral feature of the CX design, there was no way to engineer around it. Even financially powerful Mercedes-Benz had to remove the height adjustment switch from its flagship 6.9 while retaining the hydropneumatic suspension in the U.S.
A few CXs came to North America under unclear circumstances (some related to diplomatic immunity) during the 1970s, but the situation was eased when U.S. Government repealed the ban on height-adjustable suspension in 1981. As with any other grey market car, the CX could be imported and brought into compliance with the unique design regulations applied by the U.S.
In addition to personal imports, several companies began converting and selling CXs to Americans. These were not "grey market" cars, but officially imported vehicles remanufactured and type approved for the U.S. The importing companies suffered legal harassment from PSA Peugeot Citroën, but despite this, and with no advertising and only a minimal service network, the powerful cult brand of Citroën still managed to sell about 1,000 cars at approximately double the price of the same vehicle imported conventionally.
Today the U.S. Government exempts cars older than 25 years from all design legislation, so most CXs can be freely imported. The Canadian government applies a similar rule after 15 years.
