My first look at the Dresser loading facility. Hopefully the next time I'm here, the sun will make an appearance.

BNSF GP39-2R 2825 leads a cut of grain loads in Superior, WI on the morning of June 26, 2017. The 2826 and 2627 are working a switch job out of 28th Street and are coming to a stop with a cut of grain loads near Fraser Shipyard. Once switches are thrown, the Geeps will shove back towards the CHS elevators on Superior's waterfront.
The engineer is probably enjoying the AC on the lead GP30 rebuilt, on a rare warm morning for this June by the lake. I am not liking the weathering that appears to be taking place on the number boards and GP30 brow, which hasn't been out of the paint shop for too long. Hopefully this nice looking GP30 will hold up through the years.
Aboard the steamer Michipicoten at the LS&I dock in Marquette, Michigan loading ore for Essar Steel at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The chute empties one "pocket" on the dock, the boat is winched along the dock to align the hatches with chutes while loading back on October 23, 2010.
Just a few miles out of Minntac, these tac loads are bound for Proctor Yard before heading down to the dock in Duluth for unloading.

Almost an hour down, Merchant Navy British India Line approaches Settle Junction on its Journey to Scarborough its 11 coach load meant problems with adhesion on the frosty rails soon after leaving Carnforth, some great driving by Chris Cubitt got the engine underway twice after coming to a stand on the curves and inclines.
A light rain falls as CP 8822 South heads south on the Fording River Sub with a loaded unit coal train bound for export. The train has loaded from the Fording Mine, and is passing the connecting track to the Greenhills mine, both of which make up 2 of the 4 mines on the 32.6 mile Subdivision in Southern British Columbia
Although it's mostly plastic, DJI's Mavic Pro drone does a great job at flying through a rainstorm, as was needed to be done in order to get the bird back to my location!

The buffer stop is still in place where the railroad siding ends at Kellers Feed Mill in Newport, Kentucky. The huge mill with its wood and steel siding is very out of place. A reminder of the era when train tracks wove throughout the business district. This building would qualify as a museum setting.
Maryland Midland's UBEG heads eastbound approaching Union Bridge, Maryland with stone loads for Finksburg. After Finksburg they would continue to the CSX interchange in Emory Grove to pick up cement cars dropped by the L136 earlier in the day.
Leading the train are the fairly new SD50s brought in to replace the SD40M-2s, which are on "the EPA list" for scrap. Only one SD40M-2 (3449) remains in service on the MMID, the 3450 blew a traction motor and was canned and should end up getting scrapped. These SD50s definitely aren't terrible, but can also be an eyesore to most people.

An Evansville Western coal train takes on some Southern Illinois Black Diamonds at Sugar Camp Mine, at their very impressive facility near Macedonia, Illinois. CN's Bluford District main can be seen just beyond the coal loader.

Saw this big pipe with yellow innards near the railway and had to put the Service Truck in front.
