After uploading my shot the other day of the Detour Qualifying Train at South Royalton, I figured I should take some time to shoot the real moves. The sole purpose of going all the way up there is not for the mediocre leased power, but to document some daylight freight trains in places on the former CV mainline that I have scoped out from onboard for quite some time. Here we see yesterday's BDRD detour crossing the Winooski River into Williston, VT on the NECR Roxbury Subdivision.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
[Sonnet 18 - William Shakespeare]

Photo of a empty store front, taken on a rainy night, on the north side of Houston Texas. Photo taken with a Canon EOS 80D, with a EF-S 18-130 mm lens, with the ISO set at 10.000.
A pair of former SP SD45s (rebuilt as SD40M-2s) works an Allentown Yard trimmer job near CP HAM. The units still wore the attractive blue, gold and white colors applied by Motive Power Industries in the early 90s.

I was at the riparian preserve yesterday and there were a few photographers standing around (all socially distanced, of course) and one guy points to theses little shore birds and asks what they are. I said, "those are least sandpipers". There was a long pause and then the guy asks, "So what's the advantage of leasing a sandpiper vs. buying one? 😂" Funny guy
Led by a pair of leased UP SD70Ms, the westbound Rocky Mountaineer approaches Tunnel 1 as they prepare to enter the tunnel district.
Coasting on dynamic braking since two miles, CN 6006 East is passing milepost 14 on Roberval & Saguenay's ARPA subdivision, bringing empty Bauxite service hoppers toward Port Alfred for reloading. The steep descent into Port Alfred is truly spectacular as the ARPA subdivision twist and curve in order to ease up the grade for both eastbound and westbound runs with grade in excess of 2%. Air brake are mandatory for eastbounds and prayers, for westbounds as trains are down to their knees while fighting their way with loads bound for Rio Tinto's Arvida plant.

CEFX Bluebird AC4400s pull empty jennies past Eagle Mills Junction for loading at Tilden Mine on a gray Winter's day on the LS&I in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
The early 2010's were a fantastic time to be shooting along the CP lines, and this day was no exception despite the rainy weather. CP 277 heads north along York Road in Bensenville Illinois with a trio of leased SD40-2's from citi group under CEFX and CITX reporting marks.

With dynamic brakes whining hard into the steep descent into Port Alfred, CN SD40u 6006 is at the helm of Roberval & Saguenay 2nd mainline run operating between Rio Tinto's Arvida Aluminium plant and Port Alfred, a distance of just over 18 miles.
CN leased 6006 and 6021 along with BLE 908 to RS a few months before. Plagued with mechanical issues since the beginning, 6021 is still in the shop in Arvida and 908 cannot lead anymore after suffering cab heating issues.
It is quite a show watching and hearing 645s prime movers and K3 horn over this spectacular piece of track built more than 115 years ago.

Burlington Northern train 153 was rolling west on BN's East End in Berwyn in the winter of 1995.
Powered by 2 of the 100 LMX B39-8Es leased by BN, the LMX power was synonymous with Burlington Northern's roster in the late 1980s through the early 2000s.
The LMX motors have since been scattered across the country after coming off lease.

A pair of HLCX GP's approaches Trans Chemical on TRRA job 202 as the day comes to a close. St. Louis, MO
ILSX 1339 and 1303 sit outside of the Independent Locomotive Service shop south of Holt along the Minnesota Northern. ILSX 1339 usually works the trackage rights duties from Thief River Falls to Crookston for the Minnesota Northern, and ILSX 1303 is a former Alstom leaser, now ILS leaser. There is always something interesting at the shop here.
Leaser to CN, GMTX 2260 leads CN Edmundston local 578, running around their train after doing some switching at Grand Falls, New Brunswick. We arrived here just in time, to witness the awesome sunset gleaming behind the train.

Another from this chase late last fall.
Housatonic Railroad train NX-12 is making their Sunday turn from Canaan to New Milford and back. They have six cars behind them as they curl through the woods approaching the New Milford River Trail crossing at about MP 13.7 on the old New Haven Berkshire Line main in this long telephoto view from the Boardman Road crossing.
The historic route following its namesake river (which is visible through the trees across River Road) the whole way is exceptionally scenic, but sadly none of the road's own sharply painted green and yellow HRRC units are presently in service and they rely almost entirely on leased GATX locomotives. In charge this day were GP38-2 GMTX 2328 (blt. Feb 1966 as Illinois Central GP40 number 3011) and MP15DC GMTX 229 (blt. Apr. 1982 as SOU 2408).

BNSF 9065 leads a CitiRail leaser and a coal empty by the highly-welcomed back waters in Palmer Lake, CO.
I thought I'd see a lot more of the CitiRail units on the Joint Line when they hit the rails a couple of years ago, but it turns out they're few and far between, especially leading. Not sure where they tend to ply the rails, but it doesn't seem to be here.
One from "the archives": A leased duo of CEFX and HLCX SD40-2's lead CSX train Q212 out of the 1928 portal at Tunnel Hill, GA.
Much like last year passenger season started with the ARR short on power. So when the barge arrived in Whittier with three leased UP SD70Ms it was a welcome relief. Before they could be put to use they would need to see some shop time. Seen here on their way to Anchorage at Potter. In the background are the Kenai Mountains. 5.22.25

EU07-1510 with Express InterCity train 3550 "Giewont" to Gdynia Główna leaves Zakopane station. During summer season PKP Intercity often uses the short term lease of locomotives to assure the traction for increased number of services daily. And usually it's PKP Cargo that offers the locomotives for PKP Intercity. June 23, 2019.

Jak to zwykle obserwujemy latem, PKP Intercity wzmacnia inwentarz lokomotyw krótkoterminowymi wynajmami pojazdów. I zazwyczaj to PKP Cargo jest dostawcą lokomotyw na sezon letni.
