Machines of war fall into formation behind the high command of BNSF orange, spearheading eastbound military special U FTLPAD1 15M across the causeway at Cold Springs Landing near Lynxville, WI. The tall bluffs that line the Upper Mississippi River Valley loom large at the train's back as it moves down a rather scenic stretch of the railroad's Aurora Subdivision on a crystal clear spring morning. This 5800 foot cross-country convoy of military equipment is operating between the Army bases at Fort Lewis, WA, near Tacoma, and Fort Knox, KY, via the P&L at Paducah. With lines in, a couple of local fisherman try their luck in the calm waters below hoping for a bite, completely oblivious to both our presence and the passing train behind them.

After leaving Roseville in the early evening, this rather short eastbound approaches Donner Summit as it travels through Norden. Trailing behind the freshly painted AC44 is a brand new set of Siemens products for Via Rail. Siemens assembles the chargers, venture coaches, and other rail products in Sacramento less than 100 miles away. After leaving Sacramento, the Union Pacific will take it halfway across the country before handing the set off to another railroad to take it the rest of the way to Canada.

On a railway full of newer model GE ET and ES44's, it's refreshing to catch a pair of older units still earning their keep. One of the few remaining cowl body Dash 8's teams up with a Dash 9 to haul X310 east at Entwistle Alberta.
Arizona Eastern's Lordsburg to Miami freight crosses a wooden trestle south of Peridot in the last light of one of the longest days in the year. Despite spending nearly 30 minutes switching an industry in Thatcher and passing Pima several minutes later than on the 27th (www.flickr.com/americandiesels/50054630558), the train somehow made it to this spot nearly an hour earlier. This Mon-Wed-Fri job generally departs Lordsburg between 0900 and 1100L, runs trackage rights on UP to Bowie where they turn north and recrew at Safford, then on to Miami, AZ.

BNSF 6150 leads a northbound coal empty through the Greenland Open Space in Greenland, CO while a snow-covered Pikes Peak rises to the sky some 25 miles away.
This is my first train photo taken with my actual camera gear in almost 11 months. Why the delay? Life stuff, interest in other things, and a general apathy for the hobby anymore to be quite honest. I thought it might be a phase I was going through with not getting out trackside, but as more and more time passed, I realized I just didn't care.
With that being said, I did enjoy this particular morning and had myself a nice little chase of a train with much better power than this ubiquitous GEVO!
BNSF 717 is on the point of a southbound manifest in The Sag in Spruce, CO.
Looks can be deceiving; this train is not moving. And it hasn't moved in hours and it won't move in hours. On this particular day, the was a MoW window that ran from 0830L until ~1730L, thus providing a wide-boot'd kick to the nuggets of the railfan community.
The day after the Moffat shut down on account of too much snow and trains running into mechanical issues, the MGJNY 15, with the Continental Divide behind, drops downgrade into Crescent. With too much snow clogging the mainline (just to the left of the train), trains here are running through the siding.

Loaded coal train C765 heads south on CN's Chetwynd Sub at Tacheeda British Columbia. The coal traffic comes form a loadout nears Falls, and is a welcome addition to traffic on the former BC Rail line.
While I was expecting the arrival of eastbound CN freight 416 at Wabamun Lake, I didn't know there would be this much power on the head end. Nine units is a little tough to frame into the shot, but taking a page from the Book of Grumpy, "At least the leader's clean!"
N O T F O R C R O | On its second day of revenue service in its new British Columbia Railway paint, CN 3115 is at the helm of daily Toronto-Halifax box train 120. It is seen passing the former connection with MMA/CMQ/CP's Saint-Guillaume subdivision, which has not been used since at least 2015. Consist : CN 3115, CN 3274, CN 3818.

My Athearn Genesis BNSF ES44DC No. 7652 in HO Scale sits under the sun as the real version of it leads the H-SLADEN running northbound across the Palmer Divide.
CN 327 with CSXT 3194 in the lead (with its white and blue nose) is being passed by a blue and white Nissan as both cross the Beauharnois canal on the Larocque Bridge.
The Pine Pass in North Eastern British Columbia is a relatively obscure pass through the Rocky Mountains. While Canadian Pacific gained fame with their crossing to the south, Pacific Great Eastern's grade gained little attention outside of the province when constructed.
To this day very few railfans venture to this are of the country, now under the helm of Canadian National and operated as the Chetwynd Subdivision. One of the more iconic locations is the southern portal of the Azouzetta Tunnel at mile 597.9
On this September morning we witness southbound loaded coal train C765 assault the pass with 2 of General Electric's newest locomotive models in Run 8. Five sets later and the Chetwynd Sub became a new favorite line to photograph
Ferrosur AC44CW No. 4414 is leading a loaded auto train from Aguascalientes, Ags. towards the port of Veracruz, where the vehicles will be loaded onto ships for export. The train is coming out of tunnel 23, at SC-292+480 between the sidings of Acultzingo and Mezquite, and is about to enter a 270-degree left-hand curve that will take it to the track seen middle right. Export autos are a significant chunk of Ferrosur's traffic with several pairs of autorack trains running daily.
BNSF 1044 leads it's train towards Castle Rock, CO as the 14,115ft Pikes Peak looms in the background.
Passengers board VIA 35 at Dorval Station during a brief sunny period last February. Snowy VIA 903 brings up the tail end.
An empty BNSF grain from Swanson, CA to Marion, SD heads north towards Sedalia, CO with an NS unit on point.

With fresh red, white and blue paint CN 3115 stands out in a snowy landscape east of Edmonton Alberta
A look back to the winter of 2009 when power consists like this on Q102 were the norm. I'm still a little miffed at myself for cutting off the train on the left side of the frame.....
TTI B36-7 5815 and four other motors bring a stone train alongside Strodes Run Pike south of Maysville, Kentucky.
