This shot is only possible for about three weeks a year around Christmas.
With more time this year, I hope to get a similar shot but better.
In the weekend of 23 and 24 January the Betuweroute was closed due engineeringwork in Germany. All the freight trains were diverted via the Brabantroute. A great oppertunity to spot the freighttrains at Hulten, a smaal village east of Breda. On this picture the 189 053 & 046 from DB Cargo are on there way to Rotterdam with an empty ironoretrain
In het weekend van 23 en 24 januari was de Betuweroute gesloten wegens werkzaamheden in Duitsland. De goederentreinen werden dat weekend omgeleid via de Brabantroute. Een goed moment om naar Hulten te gaan om de treinen te spotten. Op deze foto zijn de 189 053 & 046 van DB Cargo met een lege ertstrein onderweg naar Rotterdam. Trein
New Haven Railroad westbound manifest freight train, with a block of refrigerator cars, is led by an EMD GP9 locomotive # 1219, ALCO FB-2 & 2 FM H16-44 locomotives as it is about to pass by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, summer 1968. Many of the refrigerator boxcars on this train probably came from the northern New England States with produce shipments. Th the left of the GP9 locomotive is a set on round top MUT's and to the right far side is set of P-S lightweight stainless steel MUT's. To the left you can clearly see the highway I-95 highway signs. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this four mixed locomotive set on an express track from his tower location.

This train could almost be called The Snow Cone Special with all of the snow seen on top of the boxcars during the winter season. An old round roof MUT is situated to the far right in the background and a one car eastbound passenger train can be seen in the distance with a two car consist. Bob Hughes was able to take this photo form his tower location.

Having crossed Cornelius Pass, a short Burlington Northern 664 train enters the Astoria Line at United Junction, Oregon. The train's caboose can be seen near the junction switch. That track curving to the right in the distance goes to St. Helens and Astoria.
Locomotive TG103 with a train running from the Rotterdam Harbour to Moerdijk. Normaly you will not see this locomotive on the mainline outside the harbour. It was my lucky day I think.

I was screwing around in downtown Rochester NY one morning, which a lot of time meant reading a book at the Amtrak station, which of course was on the busy Conrail main through the city. I vaguely remember a local come around the corner from the west, and then backing down the siding into the Genesee Brewery along the Genesee River.
Whatever the circumstances (the only thing I'm sure of was that I was screwing around downtown) I ended up exposing some Tri-X on the local switching the plant. Most of the siding was on stilts, so to speak along the side of the plant.
Google Maps makes it looks like the track is no longer used.
Picture circa '98ish.

The S curve near the elevator in the previous shot was enough to warrant dusting off my tele. Much better light in this one.
Interesting to see that a fair amount of RCPE power seems to be running through on the Tracy - Bensenville (?) 470/471's now. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
CSXT B46322 waits on the east leg of the wye at the quarry during it's class 1 brake test before departure for Baltimore, MD on November 22, 2025. The Hanover Subdivision mainline is to the right of the locomotive in this scene looking west at milepost 57. The discarded railroad ties between the train and the mainline are from a long disused siding that connected the east leg with the west leg of the wye here. Out of service for at least two decades, it was finally pulled up a few years ago. Kodak Ektar 100, Nikon N2020.
