On my visit last summer freight traffic was rather sparse on the Phyrnbahn. It was the Friday after an unknown to me Thursday holiday which likely did not help things. The ÖBB freight I did manage was the morning DG 54791 (Linz Vbf - Graz Vbf). I did not have any info on the freight traffic so between passenger trains I camped out just south of the northbound photo curve in Windischgarsten so I could easily reposition (as easily as one can by bike) for either direction. As luck would have it I was able to shoot two southbounds, first a DB Cargo train and then this much more interesting 1142 powered move.
New York & Atlantic train RS-40 passes under the modern position light signal bridge at Bellerose on its way eastbound out of Fresh Pond Yard. The NY&A is an Anacostia Pacific (i.e., PHL, etc.) operation that operates revenue freight over the Long Island Railroad's tracks. While chasing them in suburban traffic isn't really practical, we were treated to a rush of LIRR commuter trains while we waited for them to get here!

The freight traffic from Burgas has been slowly, but steadily increasing over the past year. Last week, an additional tanker train left for Sofia in between the two regular evening freights. The shiny 46 036 was chosen to drive it.

ST44-1113 with early morning regular freight train TMWSc 59582 from Gdynia Port GPW to KWK Halemba leaves Żukowo Wschodnie station. August 14, 2006.
For a couple of years it was said that freight trains on old Coal Trunk Line was a result of PKP PLK's track access charges policy which made the cost of freight trains on unelectrified secondary lines far less in comparison to electrified mainlines. I'm not sure whether it was a case, or rather the problems with mainline capacity, anyway it let railway photographers make many pictures of freight trains here, as up to three Southbound trains were running during daylight (this one to KWK Halemba, tankers to Puławy Azoty, and the third to Chełm Wschodni). They were quite punctual, although not running everyday, except of this very one, that was every day certainty.

ST44-1113 z porannym pociągiem towarowym stałego kursowania TMWSc 59582 relacji Gdynia Port GPW - KWK Halemba, opuszcza stację Żukowo Wschodnie. 14 sierpnia 2006 roku.
Dosłownie kilka lat PKP Cargo przeprowadziło trzy pary pociągów towarowych z Gdyni starą Magistralą Węglową - mówiło się iż z powodu określonej polityki PKP PLK, promującej jazdę po drugorzędnych niezelektryfikowanych liniach (faktem jest, że Lotos swój pionierski dalekobieżny pociąg z Gdańska do Emilianowa trasował w znakomitej większości trasy liniami bez druta). Nie wiem, czy to był prawdziwy powód, niemniej stanowiło to nie lada gratkę dla fotografów. Latem wszystkie trzy pociągi na południe jechały w porze dziennej. Oprócz tego na zdjęciu - codziennego pewniaka - z Gdyni wyruszały jeszcze towarowe do Puław (głównie beczki) oraz Chełma (na ogół węglarki).

Duo of Czech 740-class locomotives (740.426 and 740.638) with international freight train 661010 from Meziměsti to Rogoźnica (here you can read the story about this very train, worth reading) approach Boguszów Gorce Wschód junction. Before it happens, the train will pass the area that used to be a freight station (Boguszów Gorce Towarowy, formerly Fellhammer Güterbahnhof) just after this curve. It seems more than 50 years ago the station tracks were dismantled. July 4, 2021.

Duet czeskich kocurów (740.426 i 740.638) z międzynarodowym pociągiem towarowym 661010 z granicznego Meziměsti do Rogoźnicy (nawiasem, warto przeczytać ciekawą historię tego pociągu tutaj) zbliża się do tarczy ostrzegawczej posterunku odgałęźnego Boguszów Gorce Wschód. Za chwilę, za tym łukiem, który widać na zdjęciu, pociąg minie teren byłej stacji Boguszów Gorce Towarowy. rozebranej ponad 50 lat temu. 4 lipca 2021 r.

The Zillertalbahns freight services are still going strong three years after the resumption of service. The trains schedule remains basically the same with a approximately 7:30 departure from Jenbach to Fügen which works out well in the long summer days. Unlike last year I got the freight on the first attempt. The train is seen here entering the Ziller Valley at Strass.
The northbound chase of the third Dakota and Iowa train of the day (the Sioux City to Hawarden job) only yielded a few shots as it was relatively short distance, the light was generally wrong, and the day was winding down. This was by far my favorite of the mini chase of this train seen here in the small town of Akron. They are passing one of the very few surving Milwaukee Road depots along the line, that seems to have lasted because it has long been privately owned.
This is right about MP 12.3 on what was historically the thirty-seventh sub of the Milwaukee Road's Minnesota-Dakota Division in the road's last years. Here are DAIR SD40-2s 3029 and 3025 (EMD blt. Jun. 1979 and Jun. 1980 as MP 6041 and BN 8117 respectively) leading a moderately sized train of tanks, gons, and aggregate hoppers.

66740 with 6S94,the Wembley-Irvine china clays on 24/6/2020. With the freights booked to cross near Gisburn in the Ribble Valley this overbridge looked to be the best option to get both.There were obviously problems later with this train as RTT shows it stuck at Blea Moor for some 7 hours !

In October of 1990, recently-restored Pere Marquette Berkshire #1225 pulled some freight trains on CSX's Plymouth Subdivision between Plymouth and Grand Rapids. These trips were test runs to see how the engine performed as a prelude to the locomotive's big trip to Huntington, WV the following year for the NRHS convention. They marked the first time since 1951 that a PM steam locomotive had operated on PM rails, and by all accounts were a success. The west-bound trip is seen here at the east end of Trowbridge in East Lansing, where #1225 was displayed for nearly 25 years at Michigan State University.

Another 2018 fav and another back when interesting things still happened on Pan Am. Here is another 28N unit auto rack train back when those still ran and yet more cool foreign power. CEFX 6030 is leading a CN SD75 and an unidentified NS EMD swinging off the old Boston and Maine Fitchburg route and on to the Stony Brook at the Willows at CPF WL, MP 313.8 on modern day Pan Am Railways Freight Main.
The triclops SD60M part of the CIT Rail lease fleet was built by EMD in Mar. 1990 and still wears its original Burlington Northern Cascade green and white. CIT leasing is a subsidiary of New York based CIT Group, that traces its history back to 1907 and was originally known as Commercial Investment Trust.

A PHL switch crew switches out carload freight traffic in one of the railroad's yards near Long Beach. While mostly a container hauler for the Ports of LA and Long Beach, the PHL does maintain a healthy about of carload traffic.

Ty45-20 with the freight train passes Głuszyca Górna ex-station? Not at all, it's just an event train 88050 for railfans with nice freight outfit on February 10, 2001. The travellers were in first two wagons (equipped with coal or coke-fired heating stoves). Unfortunatelly the negative film I took that day went bad through the years and again, Piotrek must have been curating it in Gimp couple of hours to preserve all these puffs of smoke around. The overall effect is not the best but I appreciate all efforts he made to make it possible to show.

Ty45-20 z pociągiem towarowym w Głuszycy Górnej? Nic z tych rzeczy, to tylko imprezowy pociąg 10 lutego 2001 roku, numer 88050 relacji Wałbrzych Główny - Kłodzko Główne. Uczestników "zakwaterowano" w brankardach (w których zainstalowane były "kozy" na węgiel czy koks).
Niestety negatyw, który wówczas miałem strasznie spsiał przez te lata i Piotrek (znów) musiał sporo wysiłku włożyć, by zachować piękne kłęby pary nad parowozem. Chociaż końcowy efekt nie zadowala mnie w pełni, to chylę czoła przed jego umiejętnościami i cierpliwością (nie wiem, co większe).

Just a little look back a decade to the working waterfront at this spot which is as far south as you can go by rail on America's northernmost railroad. A pair of Alaska Railroad SD70MACs are coupled to a string of gondolas sitting on Freight Dock track 1 shoved right up to end of track at the head of Resurrection Bay. Some more gons are seen sitting on adjacent track 2 while a self unloading vessel berthed up is swinging loads of pipe from its hold to the waiting cars.

Am 31. Mai 2021 kam die 151 018 von Lokomotion ab München Ost Rbf vor dem DGS 41850 von Trieste Campo Marzio nach Krefeld Uerdingen zum Einsatz. Die ehemaligen Bundesbahn Sechsachser lassen sich bei Lokomotion leider immer seltener vor Zugleistungen beobachten. Relativ verlässlich sind Einsätze vor dem KLV-Zug zwischen Ludwigshafen und Wels oder dem Wolfurt-Shuttle - beide verkehren jedoch bei Dunkelheit. Daher betätigte ich bei Durchfahrt des Zuges in München Süd erfreut den Auslöser, auch wenn der Beladungszustand etwas zu wünschen übrig ließ. Auch habe ich mich bei der Länge der Lok etwas verschätzt, das davor liegende Sperrsignal wurde hier digital abgebaut.
On 31 May 2021, 151 018 was used by Lokomotion starting at Munich Ost Rbf in front of freight train DGS 41850 from Trieste Campo Marzio to Krefeld Uerdingen. Unfortunately, the former Bundesbahn six-axle locomotives can be seen more and more rarely in front of trains at Lokomotion. Relatively reliable are the services in front of the intermodal train between Ludwigshafen and Wels or the Wolfurt shuttle - but in darkness. Therefore, when the train passed through Munich South, I happily pressed the shutter release, even though the loading condition left something to be desired. I also slightly misjudged the length of the locomotive, the blocking signal in front of it was digitally removed here.
But finally we got our freight train! Followed by a very quick hike to the car, and fresh air.
