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.

A Pittsburgh & Lake Erie flatcar is landlocked on what's left of the Turtle Creek Industrial RR, which shut down several years ago.
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.
For 10 years, Dubbo based Fletchers International Exports has owned its own locomotives and wagons for a thrice weekly (sometime four) intermodal service linking Dubbo with Port Botany (Sydney). The train can carry a range of agricultural products including meat, grain, cotton, skins and tallow and often loads up to 5000 tonnes and occasionally a bit heavier. Crewing and day to day rail management is contracted out to Southern Shorthaul Railroad.
On Saturday 1 November 2025, FIE002/FIE001/FIE003 head train 8148 from Dubbo to Port Botany, near the hamlet of Mumbil, New South Wales. The locos are a standard GE model C44aci, built in Australia by UGL in 2014. A fourth loco was delivered in 2022.

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.

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.
