I decaled and weathered this Penn Central SD45 and lent it to my friend Kyle (who took this photo) to enjoy for a while. He took this loco, along with his blue SD45, and some of his freight cars to another friend's railroad, that of Dave Weber.
This hobby is a lot more fun with good friends who can team up like this to share trains, railroad, tips, ideas, photos, etc.
BNSF H-BARSDG1-26A rolls along Torrey Pines State Beach and the Pacific Ocean in beautiful Del Mar, California. Daylight freight isn't on the regular schedule on this absurdly busy single-track commuter railroad. However, delays and recrews periodically will force the dispatchers to squeeze the "BarDiego" through in between all of the Amtrak, Metrolink, and Coaster traffic. Even during summer high sun, seeing this freight snake its way along the Coast is a wonderful sight.

When the Lehigh Valley bought C628’s from Alco in 1965, they were delivered in a striking white, black and red paint scheme and were dubbed “snowbirds” by the local fans. Variants of the snowbird scheme were applied to several classes of freight cars, including this fifty foot covered hopper seen here at Enola, Pennsylvania two years after the LV ceased to exist.

A westbound Burlington Northern freight passes through the North Dakota Badlands at Sully Springs on August 9, 1991. The train is powered by EMD SD40-2 No. 6926, mated with one of BN’s unique GE B30-7A “B unit” No. 4043. BN originally had a fleet of 120 of these 3,000 h.p. cabless locomotives built between June 1982 and October 1983 and numbered 4000-4119.
After performing their daily customer work in Paterson and Clifton, NS H-55 runs west past Suscon Interlocking on NJ Transit's Main Line at Hawthorne, NJ. The regular pair of 5600 series GP38-2s takes their train past the interchange yard and connection to the NYS&W's Southern Division.
Interesting times in Houston, TX. A little over a year had passed since Southern Pacific was merged with Union Pacific, yet widespread service issues remained. During this time of transition, the railroad was chronically short of power and crews. Amtrak F40PHs were leased and pressed into freight service. Here a pair of GP38-2s, one SP and one UP, bracket F40PH 415 on a train passing through Houston's North Shore Jct. Amtrak 415 would later become an expat, moving on to the Panama Canal Railway. KCS SD50 709 waits in the distance, on what was perhaps a transfer from PTRA's North Yard.

By June of 1974, the service life of Southern Pacific's Fairbanks-Morse H-24-66 "Train Master" locomotives was winding down. In this fine roster shot, 3021 is missing a few parts when photographed in SP's San Jose, California yard.
SP rostered 16 of the beasts, and two of them were demonstrators. Dressed in "Black Widow" paint and delivered in 1953, the Fairbanks-Morse H-24-66, dubbed the "Train Master", was known for its substantial car body. At 2,400 hp, it was the highest-horsepower road switcher on the market when introduced.
While initially praised for its high power output, the complex opposed-piston engine and other design features led to maintenance challenges, ultimately impacting its overall acceptance and the eventual departure of FM from the locomotive industry.
Southern Pacific utilized them for heavy freight and passenger service. In their final years, they could be found pulling commuter rail trains up and down the peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose, California.
Dejada atrás la época de Continental Rail donde nos dieron grandes alegrías allá por 2020 surcando la línea 100, la pareja de japonesas 269.351 y 356 siguen al pie del cañón, ya de la mano de CEFSA, donde actualmente es relativamente fácil verlas con algún TECO con origen o destino Villafría.
En el caso de la foto se trata de la pareja 351 pasando por Mingorría a cargo de un Maersk entre Villafría y Valencia FSL, mientras una tormenta me rozaba a mi mano izquierda y que también se hizo notar en el cielo y el ambiente de la foto.
[EN] Leaving behind their Continental Rail era when they brought us great days in 2020 while travelling by the line 100, the japanese duo of 269.351 and 356 are still going strong under CEFSA. Nowadays, it is relatively common to spot them hauling intermodal trains to or from Villafría.
The photo shows pair number 351 passing through Mingorría, leading a Maersk train between Villafría and Valencia FSL, while a storm grazed me on the left which also made its presence felt in the sky and the atmosphere of the photo.
