34046 Braunton passes Rednal foot crossing ,not the planned shot but word filtered through it had the staycation set behind the support coach so measures were taken with the composition to minimise its presence. the disc code indicates it should be between London bridge and Portsmouth via Horsham !!1-10
Deh 4/4 I 50 brings a fully loaded Oberalppass car shuttle down the steep grade between Oberalppass and Naetschen. Unfortunately this is supposed to be the last year for these car shuttle trains, though that was said last year as well so maybe there will be another reprieve.
Just one of the many reasons I love spring are my pair of Spring Snow Crabapple trees. This tree is absolutely loaded with buds this year, ready to burst open any day now. I didn't have my macro lens on, but the 200-500 did a pretty nice job.
A nice pair of power units lead this mixed train south through Duplainville.
Off to the left and along the road was our good friend Lonnie as he got his shots of this unknown train while they slow down to hold up before they get the signal over the diamond of the CP Watertown Sub.

I'd be careful playing with this particular dice if I were you. No matter how much I roll it, it seems always to come up on the number two!
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 3rd of January is "magnets" Unlike a lot of people, I don't have many magnets on my refrigerator, and those I do tend to be from trades and service providers I use. This magnet is the one exception to the rule. Funnily enough I don't actually like it. It is showy and represents gambling of which I am not a fan, but my friend Judy, who sadly died from Alzheimer’s a few years ago, says she bought it in Las Vagas especially for me. She said that she couldn't resist its showy vulgarity and bought different coloured ones to be given to me and to other friends. I keep it as a memory of Judy. At least she got the colour right, as blue is my favourite colour! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
A loaded grain train off the Beresford Branch is nearing Sioux City where it will be handed off to the BNSF.

After a brief pause, 2335 gets underway at Edungalba with the twice-weekly container service to Rockhampton from Longreach as 6391.
Once a month, this service extends onto Winton, as well as regularly stopping off at Barcaldine and Alpha to drop loading. This train operates loaded from Rockhampton to deliver supplies to various towns.

With freshly snow capped peaks of the Talkeetna Mountains standing above, Alaska railroad 4005 leads the AS&G gravel train down the siding at Matanuska junction to meet the northbound MEX. The peaks of these mountains were just about bare when we arrived the week prior to this and as you can see they got a good dumping of fresh snow in that week. The line to the right in the photo is the Palmer branch where the AS&G loads just a couple miles up the line and is the only train to traverse the branch these days. The mainline is out of view and hidden in the woods to the left. The AS&G and QAP gravel trains run in a 1x1 configuration these days cutting out the need for a shoving platform or a run around move even though the AS&G will still shove down from the load out using the wye here at the junction to prevent having to change ends.
The WNYP's OL-2 job has slowed significantly as the two AC6000's lift a loaded sand train up the grade over Keating Summit, Pennsylvania and heads toward the Emporium transload on a stormy day.

Loaded coal behind the Law Enforcement unit twists along the James River and through Wasp Rock Tunnel east of Buchanan.
A loaded limestone train chugs upgrade near Campo Belo, Brazil, with four former North American locomotives for power.
Leading the train are former Southern Pacific and Contrail B36-7s while the mid-train DP locomotives in the background are a former Norfolk & Western C36-7 and another Conrail B36-7.
They were heavily modified after arriving in Brazil in the early 2000s and are all BB36-7s today with eight axles for the tight curvature narrow gauge lines in Brazil.
We are fortunate to have beautiful weather in SoCal this weekend. Looking forward to wandering with cameras, especially film ones!
With what is certainly the working of the month and quite probably the working of the year Large-Logo EE-type 3's 37402/37407 bring a set of loaded JNA's into Westbury with the 11/;36 from Parkeston Quay running was '6Z37',Amazingly this all happened in excellent light which was nice for a change(a miracle in fact).Scheduled scenes such as this were fairly common 20+ years ago but deffo not now.What a scoop!

The last light on a grey dull Saturday afternoon is brightened by the sight of a hard working Freightliner class 66 heading north from Doncaster on the East Coast Main Line. Passing down loop at Arksey and about to cross one of the numerous level crossings.
I wasn’t down in the ballast trespassing to get this shot it was taken from behind a fence and is cropped from a 200mm zoom image.

Nach Fertigstellung der Elektrifizierung der Strecke über Memmingen nach Lindau gibt es dort inzwischen auch einige private Güterzüge zu beobachten. Neben gelegentlich verkehrenden Kesselwagen- und Getreidezügen handelt es sich dabei primär um Containerzüge von und nach Wolfurt in Vorarlberg. Neben RheinCargo und der SETG bietet auch Lokomotion eine Verbindung in Eigenregie an. Allerdings läßt die Auslastung der Züge aktuell oft zu wünschen übrig. Teilweise nur mit einem Container beladen, kommt beim Fotografen und insbesondere bei den Kaufleuten des jeweiligen EVUs wenig Freude auf. Die Zeit wird zeigen, ob sich die neuen Angebote erablieren - zu wünschen ist es auf jeden Fall. Am 31. März 2021 hatte ich allerdings Glück, der DGS 41911 von München-Riem nach Wolfurt war halbwegs akzeptabel beladen. Bei Kottgeisering konnte ich den Wolfurt-Shuttle mit seiner Zuglok 151 074 in der vorfrühlingshaften Landschaft fotografieren.
After completion of the electrification of the line via Memmingen to Lindau, there are now also some private freight trains to be observed there. Apart from occasional tank wagon and grain trains, these are primarily container trains to and from Wolfurt in Vorarlberg. In addition to RheinCargo and SETG, Lokomotion also offers a connection under its own management. However, the capacity utilisation of the trains currently often falls short. Partly loaded with only one container, the photographer and especially the merchants of the respective RU are not very happy. Time will tell whether the new services will become established - in any case, it is to be wished. On 31 March 2021, however, I was lucky: DGS 41911 from Munich-Riem to Wolfurt was halfway acceptably loaded. Near Kottgeisering, I was able to photograph the Wolfurt shuttle with its locomotive 151 074 in the early spring landscape.
A day when dark clouds heralded hail storms and scudding squalls, all in all my perfect sort of beach day. Loaded Gun is by The Dead 60's , I seem to spend the day dodging bullets. It's been so wet this winter and early spring, we're due a bit of sun so I can feed my adder obsession.
Loaded coal passing the Griffin Pipe plant at Lynchburg. This installation receives hoppers of coke used for making ductile iron pipe.
A pair of BNSF locomotives slowly creep out of Antelope Mine, steadily moving the hopper train through the towering loaders in the background. A Watco engineer is in the cab, running the train at speed specific to this mine's loaders, which allow the train to continuously load without stopping for each car. It was an impressive coordinated process that led to a steady stream of empties rolling in and loaded trains coming out.
TT103, with TT104 at the rear, head towards Carramar along the SSFL with 2196 from the Peppertree Quarry at Medway to Enfield.
For whatever reason, the front 10 RHKY wagons were empty, with the remaining 24 loaded.

The container ship Callao Express being loaded at the HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder in Hamburg, Germany, which is a container handling terminal located in the Altenwerder quarter.
I was on a photo weekend (as a guest) with the experienced photographer and my good friend Andreas Mundt from Hamburg. Please check out his amazing photos on his photo Stream.

Just after sunset, a loaded Rio Tinto iron ore train rolls to a stop at the north end of the siding in Dingo, Western, Australia where it will hold to meet southbound empties, as this portion of the line is single tracked. In the lead is one of the Hammersly Iron Dash 9's still wearing its Pilbara Rail paint scheme.
