Amtrak 365, the Blue Water, curves through the backyards of Hammond on the South Shore Line due to a bridge repair job on NS.Thanks to Norm Carlson and the Wagonmaster for the headsup. Taken on 4-8-13. My camera keeps goofing up the date or maybe it's the photographer!
The seldom seen Metra F59 98 and sister 97 made a test run on the Elgin Sub today. After a few false starts they are seen zipping by the Mannheim Stop in Franklin Park. I guess they only made to Bensenville and turned back. Thanks Mark Llanuza for the headsup!

Not the best location to do a northbound photo at 1730 around here but I didn't have a lot of time - so it had to be the nearest !! 67005 'Queen's Messenger' and 67006 'Royal Sovereign' head into Churchdown with the Royal Train, which was running as 1Z91. The RT had passed through here earlier this afternoon en route to Kemble, where King Charles left the train. The RT then reversed, and returned to Gloucester (Platform 4 - reverse again), and then onto Wolverton via CNM and Nuneaton. Many thanks to JB for the headsup. 24th May 2024.
Having been provided headsup from the east by Rich J, I checked the tracks while traveling between buildings/meetings and saw the original N&W leader coming under Mo Bottom road.
While I couldn't shoot my favorite Roberson location, I was able to grab shot of the train threading its way through the I-270 / Highway 370 interchange in Hazelwood.

37510 - 5Q48 (1413 FO STP Bounds Green T&RSMD - Norwich Crown Point T&RSMD, which was formed of Greater Anglia bi-mode unit 755338) - Bayford - 1602 (88 minutes late after a 92 late start & with a nice bit of thrash, despite only being three minutes behind the "stopper") - 21/04/23.
A massive thanks to Darren (that's twice now with Orion) for the headsup on this working, as without your text I would have been no the wiser & assumed it was just the unit running late!
Timing worked out for me to catch the CSX OCS at Berea on May 28, 2015 on the way to catch a flight at the nearby Hopkins airport. Classy train and i was glad it worked out. Thanks to the NE Ohio network for the headsup ( you know who you are).
While the lighting conditions were poor a very last second decision to go and get these got me to Hammond-Whiting with probably less then 2 minutes to spare. The sight of this train is always great but the sound was nothing short of awesome as he accelerated after coming through the reverse curve beyond the signal bridge. Thanks to the Wagonmaster, Mike Raia and Joe Z. for the headsup.
Day 73 / 365
"Heads Up"
"When your world fails and sadness is everything you feel. Heads up, take a moment and gaze into heaven for there lies the answers you've been longing to hear."

NS 112 heads into the siding at Ferguson to meet 2 eastbounds that had been holding the main for about 2 hours waiting for him to get out of Luther.
Thanks to a headsup from Kelby and also help from Daniel and Evan with tracking, I was finally able to catch one of these guys leading! They've only been around for what? 12 years or so...Like this 112, I guess I'm also lagging a bit.

Once again, I got word of some re-routes from the Hannibal/Springfield District, including a 255. Since Roadrailers are becoming somewhat rare with only two trains in service and none usually passing through St. Louis, I found a way to sneak away from work for a bit and catch this westbound running past the Searchlights at Ferguson. Not even the very steady rain coming down at the time deterred me!
This would come almost 7 months to the day after I had caught an Eastbound Triple Crown re-route earlier this year. Thanks to Adam and Rich and Robbie for the headsup that this guy was headed my way!

Ah, springtime and longer days, when the 8-5 guys can still slide out to get a stab at cool weekday things. Thanks to the headsup from RI4310 & K-Man, I was able to bolt home, grab the kids, and get back to business for this puppy. Former Soo SD60M 6060 leads this CEI bound coal load as it slows to stop for a backup move into the power plant. The Ford Avon Lake assembly plant is off to the left, with staging tracks for stored autoracks.
WSOR grain train with WAMX 4219 leading north of Touhy Ave. in Niles IL. on a liquid sunshine day. Thanks to the birdies for the headsup. Just got there with a minute to spare!

UK-CQE (Vulkan Air Antonov An-26B, which was delivered new to Aeroflot on 15/04/85 as CCCP 26200) - Flight VKA202 from Malaga to London Stansted (arrived 3 minutes late) Brick End Broxted - 1217 - 26/07/24.
A big thanks for the headsup on this working, as it didn't report on FR24 & was showing as "Blocked" on Radarbox, but was visible on ADSB during it's flight & to "she who must be obeyed" (my Sister) for changing our lunch plans!
Choppers and Hoover sweep passed Woburn Sands on the Marston Vale line with Willesden too Leicester Locomotive Inspection Point where 50008 was due too link up with a railtour in the following days however faults / failed exam meant that it sat out on this occasion. Lucky for myself, i caught this consist a while later closer too my home patch on the MML, a nice bonus!

The port of Hamburg is the second-largest port in Europe (after that of Rotterdam), and the ninth-largest in the world.

HAPPY MINIATURE SUNDAY!
387162, 387164 & 387147 are seen approaching Ashbury Crossing with a rare daylight move, 5P87 12:05 Reading Traincare Depot - Swindon Cocklebury.
Thanks to Darren Ford for the headsup and slowing down for me to enable the freight train in the distance to pass. The man himself can be seen waving as he passes. Proof he does work, sometimes.
CP train 470 with newly painted SD40-2 3426 comes through Morton Grove heading for A5 and eventually the BRC at Clearing. Thanks to David Lemke and Joe Z. for the headsup!
66762 (GBRF) "t&t" 104 (DBC).
6L37 : 0954 Hoo Jn Up Yd - Whitemoor Up Yd (1e MLA).
Bayford - 1316 - 20/12/19.
Thanks to Ian at the "Hill" for the headsup on this working. I assume the MLA had defective brakes, which is why it has "Sheds" on both sides (104 for brakeforce), but why it wasn't marshalled in another 6L37 earlier this week, rather than run it on it's own, is anybodies guess!
Nice to see 387101 being used instead of the Royal Train, to convey the Queen from London Kings Cross to Kings Lynn today!
CP train 281 heads east approaching River Road in Franklin Park with a BNSF Warbonnet leading. Thanks to JD for headsup on this guy.
The CP SD40-2F's are crossing North Ave. on their way to the scrapper. Thanks to the Mastadon for the headsup!
Another photo that has been viewed many times. Once again the only thing I can figure is it is because of the title Duck and Dog. This is a shot of Shuttle and Arson at Mace's Ranch neighbors we met when we first moved to the area under less than ideal conditions. They had found Shuttle on the highway (a run away trying to ensure I didn't leave her behind at some strange place aka our new home).
60002 Working 6L44 22:15 Oxwellmains Lafarge Colas - West Thurrock Sidings Fhh at Kangeroo Spinney, Wellingborough. 01-02-2018.
A special thanks to Gridboy for the headsup.

Thanks to a timely headsup from My Brother and the TRRA dispatcher holding him north of WR.I was able to get off the regular job, go home grab the camera and nap this guy before starting at the Port.Anyways, here the ERIE leads southbound #301 just north of WR Tower, Granite City ILL, 02/12/14
Captured on-board the Disney Dream.
Location: Port Canaveral, Florida.
This picture is a bit of a change of pace for me, but thought it would be a fun shot to post... My son certainly got a kick out of it, especially since he's the one who "pinged" me w/ the ball.
I knew he must have felt bad about it, since It only took him about a minute or two to finally stop laughing after it happened. ;) Guess I deserved it, as I was the interloper getting in the way of his ping pong match.
Fortunately (for me) no lenses were harmed in the making of this picture! ;)
"Heads Up!" is a non-HDR image finished in Photoshop, which includes the use of several Topaz Labs filters as well to remove noise, sharpen features, etc..
