i really couldnt decide which version of this to post cuz i like both very much ....
what you think ?
Your eyes don't deceive you! The UP Computer system sure didn't believe that the GTW 5937 had made its way onto the LMC40 for the second consecutive day, but it sure did!
This engine came into town with another CN unit, the 5773, presumably on an HNTP, the power got split up, and reallocated for other purposes. I can count on exactly one hand how many times I've seen foreign-road power lead this local over the years, and to make it a good looking SD40-2? Yes, please!
For the record, this non-dynamic 40-2 was built in 1975 as the MP 3196, so it's very likely spent plenty of time in the Sunflower State in the past.
Foreign power on NS these days is hard to come by. So when a pair of BNSF GEs were tasked to lead 19M, I knew I had to brave the cold and shoot it. The aforementioned 19M is seen here grinding up Christiansburg grade in Shawsville, VA on the final night of Winter 2021.
What a unique vehicle! I'd never seen anything like it. In the earlier days of modern invention there were lots of ideas about how to do things. This was one of them.
Like most of the vehicles at this museum, it runs. Here a video of it.

October 2, 2021 - Went to Jeff Lane Motor Museum in Nashvile, Tennessee. This place is fantastic! Over 500 vehicles. I've been to one of the best car museums in the U.S., Petersen Auto Museum in L.A. but this one is right up there with it. Specializes in foreign cars and unique vehicles. Half of these I'd never seen or heard of. Well worth going to.

Interesting thing about Finland's participation in WWII is it was the only democratic country to be on the side of the Axis powers. As part of Finland's participation in WWII (Continuation war), the Finns during operations Barbarossa retook and captured areas in the Karelia region.
Wanted to try out a bunker as there were many that were along several defensive lines in Finland and the Karelia region. Credit for the trees goes to Thorsten Bonsch.
A CN crude ore train using two BNSF HP payback units is shown dumping at Fairlane as Northern Plains GP9 1520 switches the commercial yard. NPR's switching subsidiary handles commercial traffic here.
A south of the boarder consist of a KCSM AC4400 and Ferromex SD70ACe lead a westbound loaded oil train over the Quartz Creek Trestle in Tarkio, MT.
While the scene and locos may look ordinary, this is actually Norfolk Southern's 21D powered by CSX Motors ready to depart Charleston, SC.
L594 works east through Biwabik on a cold morning making their way to Wales with loads in tow.

A couple of CSX locomotives leads this oil train on the NS Toledo-Cleveland main line near Oak Harbor, Oh. (7/23/16)
Il termine "foreign power" e' adoperato nel gergo tecnico per indicare convogli di un'amministrazione in servizio su linee appartenenti ad una differente impresa.
E' il caso di questa coppia di locomotive CSX, ancora colorate nella livrea "Bright Future" e capeggiate dalla Dash8 #7741, in corsa presso Oak Harbor, Oh. alla testa di un convoglio di cisterne sulla rete Norfolk Southern. (23/7/16)
During the Winter of 2012-13 the Canadian National RR started using lots of locomotives from other railroads. I was going thru a backup hard drive, updating directory names etc and came across this photo set. I literally had unboxed my new (at the time) D5100 the previous day, and went out with Mark Llanuza during one of the rare snow storms that winter to shoot this M337 (I think) train running under the old EJ&E flyover in Wayne, IL Those were the days....
Ayrlego continues to be a favorite for this blogger ever since the first post I blogged of his. He has always done a fantastic job of capturing textures in his builds. Although we normally see Him build with Redcoats, he chooses to build with bluecoats in this one which was quite refreshing.

While this wasn’t the angle I was after here, it still made do. I didn’t have as much time as I thought I would to set up. DFB7199 and a trio of DX’s work train 939 through Chertsey enroute to Dunedin

CSX G685 passes the signals of NE Englewood at 2:13am. Leading the way is NS 8105, one of the companies heritage units, with this one honoring the Interstate. While the NS ones are fairly common to see on NS leading around here, it’s extremely rare to see them on their east coast competitor. With the chance to get them at these signals being presented, I couldn’t take advantage of this opportunity. 1-27-24
For my Photography project at school, we had to do a diptych on "Foreign Objects" So I decided to use my Pullips! Pictures are grainy D: Really bad lighting but it's due tomorrow and I procrastinated xD

IC 2463 & 5768 back down the yard track onto the combination of CBNS and local traffic to head to Moncton, NB. For those that don't know, this is the power for A407 on January 23, 2017. Although I already posted a shot of the power and the caboose, one more of the Blue Devil in decent sunlight can't hurt!

ENGLISH:
Luxembourg City is the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the country's most populous commune. Standing at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers in southern Luxembourg, the city lies at the heart of Western Europe, situated 213 km (132 mi) by road from Brussels, 372 km (231 mi) from Paris, and 209 km (130 mi) from Cologne. The city contains Luxembourg Castle, established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages, around which a settlement developed.
The city's population consists of 160 nationalities. Foreigners represent 70% of the city's population, whilst Luxembourgers represent 30% of the population; the number of foreign-born residents in the city rises steadily each year.
Luxembourg is ranked as having the second-highest per capita GDP in the world with the city having developed into a banking and administrative centre. It was placed first for personal safety, while it was ranked 19th for quality of living.
It is one of the de facto capitals of the European Union (alongside Brussels, Frankfurt and Strasbourg), as it is the seat of several institutions, agencies and bodies, including the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Court of Auditors, the Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund, the European Stability Mechanism, as well as amongst other European Commission departments and services, Eurostat. The Council of the European Union meets in the city for three months annually.

ESPAÑOL:
Luxemburgo es la capital de la pequeña nación europea del mismo nombre. Se construyó entre desfiladeros profundos, cortados por los ríos Alzette y Pétrusse, y es famosa por sus ruinas de fortificaciones medievales. La extensa red de túneles de Bock Casemates abarca un calabozo, una prisión y la Cripta Arqueológica, considerada como la cuna del país. A lo largo de las murallas en lo alto, el paseo Chemin de la Corniche tiene miradores impresionantes.
