Southern Railways U Class No 31806 Rattles through the cutting with an early morning freight train during a Russ Hillier photo charter on the Churnet Valley railway.
I've got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh
When the whistle blows, I've gotta go
Lordy, lordy, I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.

During the blue hour, quietly hoped that he would succeed in making this image. The light was just in balance between day and night and then this train came running towards Brennero.
Afterwards I boarded the local train to Innsbruck.
It had been beautiful this day.
Demonstrating what is perhaps the sharpest prime longer than 50mm, this 180mm f/2.8 lens is great for capturing sharp details.
It's early November and the morning air is downright chilly after an overnight snowfall, but it's business as usual at the Horicon terminal, as the Janesville bound freight T4H prepares to depart Horicon.

I'm overdue for another morning out here, it's always worthwhile. Until then, however, here's one that's been laying around for a while from a trip last year.

They are on Amtrak's Springfield Line main near MP 50 crossing the Connecticut River on the Warehouse Point Bridge crossing from the town of Windsor Locks into Enfield. The 1470 ft long double track bridge (though only one track is in service) dates from 1903 when the circa 1866 iron bridge was rebuilt by the New Haven Railroad, but even that structure was the second one on the site replacing a wooden Howe truss that first crossed here in 1843 by NH predecessor Hartford and Springfield Railroad.

With more letters in its name than miles in its route, the Lake Erie Franklin and Clarion Railroad joined the per-diem boxcar craze of the late 1970’s. Here one of those cars passes through Allentown, Pennsylvania.

In the winter spirit, Lewts and I painted this winter tribute freight the other day. Had been wanting to do this for a while. In retrospect, I might have changed a few things...
A usual sight in Ostrava: a local shunting train switching cars between the many facilities of the iron works crossing a busy road.
Today I did something that I haven't done in a long time: take a day off to make photos of passenger trains. Passenger. Trains. Really.
The intercity trains between Schaarbeek and Kortrijk are still hauled by vintage 21 and 27 series locomotives. These machines are about my age and as such I've known them all my active railfanning life. They are being gradually withdrawn though, and this realizing was one of the factors deciding to spend a day chasing them. Another important factor being that I had found a lot of nice spot between Oudenaarde and Zottegem during my bicyle rides, but I didn't make photos there yet.
With the locomotives oriented on the Kortrijk-side of the trains, they would only show a sunny face in the afternoon. The morning I spent picturing 2 freight trains on locations I wanted to try out for a while.
