Arlington, Missouri, is a near ghost town in Phelps County, Missouri. Once a stop on the Pacific Railroad, it was also a village along the former Route 66. Today it is incredibly hard to access, since it is no longer easily accessed by rail and road. Arlington is now merely a small group of private residences. There are no remaining businesses . . Arlington is currently composed of more than 20 people. It is no longer its own township and is now a part of Newburg.

Built in 1931, John's Modern Cabins are an abandoned ghost tourist court on RT 66 that were purchased by John and Lillian Dausch in 1951 for $5,000 . . In the 60's construction began on Interstate 44 and unfortunately the new highway would not provide easy access to the cabins, which would prove fatal to the tiny business . . The cabins, unmaintained for decades, are now in dire condition and beyond repair.

Being the 4th of July, the "Spirit of America" makes a special holiday appearance for "Switcher Sunday" on "Switcher Saturday". In 1976, N&SS 1018 leads sister SW-1001 1019 with a steel coil train making it's way through the Clark Ave. yard, and heading for a run at the hill and the hard climb out of steel mill territory. The careful viewer will notice that I was faced with a hard choice that never happens much these days, that being which train do I chase. I went after this one as the obvious choice but my N&W file did not ever recover in the blue geep zone.

Here we see a weathered sign for John's Modern Cabins that has
seen its better days! . . Was probably a great neon back in the day.

CSX 911 leads M316 east through the small town of Newburg, WV. While most church buildings in the region are active for Easter Sunday services this morning, the one at the left appears to have been shuttered decades ago and witnesses M316's passage silently. The fire engine red on the 911 really pops amid an otherwise barren early-spring landscape.
M316 passes the abandoned hulk of WS Tower, long out of service but still guarding the passage of CSX trains on the old B&O West End. Just ahead lies Kingwood Tunnel and the summit of Newburg Grade. With the long shadows and being on the "dark" side of the train to get the tower in frame, this is a tricky one to get just right. Thanks to burst mode this version with about 95% of the nose lit up meets the "good enough" threshold, as far as I'm concerned. One could wait till the summer months for the sunlight to be more head on here, but they would find that the abandoned tower looks more like a chia pet with all of the vines growing on and around it.
With their climb up Newburg Grade almost complete, C78412 passes the abandoned WS Tower at West End. Just a few hundred feet ahead is the summit of the grade and Kingwood Tunnel.
Empty coal cars are seen westbound at West End on the Newburg Grade, west of Tunnleton WV. It's April 9th 1977, and all is right in this picture. Max S Robin photo, JL Sessa collection.
LNM34 headed South on a sunny Saturday in February with 30 cars for Eddyville down the Oskaloosa Branch.
Newburg & South Shore #1018 dressed in bicentennial colors has a short hot metal train in Cleveland OH. on May 1 1976.
Soon after we gave up the day-long westbound chase of EMD SD60 demonstrator EMD-4 at Newburg, West Virginia, we watched an eastbound train headed by EMD-2 and EMD-1 roll into town.
That’s the slogan that EMD applied to their four SD60 demonstrators before sending them out for evaluation. Here EMD-4 rolls westward through Newburg, West Virginia, on the Baltimore & Ohio.
Conrail SD40-6329 & SD40-2-6409 are leading W/B hopper train UMP-73A on track two of the Pittsburgh Line. The train is heading back to the mine for another load of coal after delivering to the Potomac Electric Power Company facility in Southern Maryland at Newburg.

John's Modern Cabins is an old motel on Route 66 in Newburg, Missouri that's about eight miles west of Rolla.
Two outhouses stand behind the aging buildings; nearby, a faded, broken neon sign identifies the little structures as "John's Modern Cabins." Driving along Route 66 in front of the cabins, a passerby can read the story of the road.
The cabins have been around since the 1930s.

We are at Baltimore & Ohio's West End tower (WS), across the ridge from Tunnelton, WV on May 5, 1978. Four SD35's have just shoved the eastbound Trailer Jet up the seven miles from Hardman on Newburg Grade.. Soon they will be latching up the dynamic brakes to help retard the train for the six miles down Cheat River Grade into Rowlesburg. For several years I had noticed the crumbling coal tipple as it deteriorated. I appears like they finally were scrapping it out.
A brand new set of Tier 4 GE ES44AC's are seen pushing the rear end of an eastbound coal drag at Newburg, WV.
After EMD’s SD50’s developed a reputation for being trouble-prone, the builder quickly introduced the improved SD60. Four demonstrator units were sent out on tour, and they spent time on the B&O, who, along with fellow Chessie System road C&O, had invested heavily in the SD50. Here, two of the SD60 demos wait for a block while three B&O SD50’s running light pass them at Newburg, West Virginia.

The "Osky Job" - UP's Job 34 or more formally LMN34 that runs out of Marshalltown and handles switching on the Oskaloosa Subdivision - is led by the GP trio of UP 1353, 793, and 1535 as they roll over the bridge at N 99th Ave near Newburg, Iowa on a fine spring afternoon.
This former Minneapolis and St. Louis mainline is now a neat branchline operation with a healthy bit of business thanks to the large group of industries at Eddyville, Iowa and a handful of other online customers. The terrain in this part of Iowa includes lots of gently rolling hills that make good crop ground. While the highways roll up and down over them like T38 at left, the M&StL did it's part to generally flatten out the grades on the railroad with cuts and fills and used lots of wooden bridges (and trusses for the larger spans) to cross the various creeks and streets. That makes for some neat scenes to capture this local moving through (see my album for more from my various chases of Job 34). I thought this one benefited from some added height from the aerial camera. It's a fun, fast-paced afternoon chase especially on a day like today where they have no other work and are a straight shot to Eddyville.
I shot this location a few years ago. The house has since been demolished and replaced by a Dunkin Donuts. The barn ruins and some outbuildings remain.

With their helpers attached, C784 makes a run for the hill as they pass through Thornton, WV. They're still doing track speed for now, but the grade will stiffen just a few miles ahead at Newburg and they'll soon be reduced to a crawl.

RJCP-01 brings a loaded grain train north through Newburg, PA on their way to Clearfield. Unfortunately nowadays you'll be dammed to see any SD40's leading, as the SD70M's have now taken over. Lots of good memories come to mind when thinking about this chase, mostly the fact that it was almost 70° in the beginning of February.

25th March 2021:
Saw loads of lovely flowers on my walk this morning, but this just looked so silly.
Today is : National Medal of Honour Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-medal-of-honor-day-march...
And the not so Silly News is that it's : National Lobster Newburg Day - nationaldaycalendar.com/national-lobster-newburg-day-marc...
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
B&O SD35's No's. 7401, 7410, 7437, and 7412 shove hard on an eastbound coal drag climbing Newburg Grade at Austen, WV on May 5, 1978. If I had a time machine, I'd dial in 40 years, be packed and on the road in 30 minutes.
After shooting the LMN34 at Gilman, I went for a shot with this old wooden trestle about a mile north of Newburg.
One of the more iconic portions of the Oskaloosa Sub is between Gilman and Newburg, where the highway briefly parallels the tracks. Rolling fields, wooden bridges and even a small section of telegraph poles make for some cool scenes.
Another N&SS diesel steps up to the plate for "Switcher Sunday", this being Alco T-6 #1017. She was rather a celebrity here in town, but for the unfortunate reason of being the very last new locomotive built by Alco. Along with sister unit #1016, she was built in January 1969.
