Two twin car class 142 DMU Pacer units in former Arriva Trains Wales livery work a Penarth to Bargoed service (2P73), seen passing through Cogan en-route to Cardiff Central Station.
The sun has very nearly set on the Pacers so with a good forecast I surfaced early this morning and took a trip out to try a few sunrise rail shots at Colton Junction.
Just another shot I liked from my day out with the Batten Kill late last year. This was an attempt at a pacing shot from the passenger seat that I never bothered editing until now. Not perfect but still just kind of cool and worth keeping I suppose.
Winter Storm Gail slammed into the northeast mid December and Washington County was absolutely dumped on with over three feet of snow! The Batten Kill Railroad made a rare Saturday run to help open up the entirety of the railroad. They ran light engine with a pair of classic double headed Alcos: G&J 4116 a veteran ex D&H Alco RS3 (blt. 9/52) and SNEX 5012 an ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 (blt. 12/59) stopping along the way to shovel switches and clear the roads of the snow they would push out on to each crossing. After making their way thru the hamlet of Shushan they are on their way to Cambridge.
They are seen here southbound between Shushan and Cambrudge somewhere near about MP A132

Tugboat traffic around Powell River has decreased significantly over the last few years, and now that the local pulp and paper mill is shut down we won't be seeing Seaspan boats very often either. This is the Seaspan Pacer heading south with 3 empty scows out of the frame behind her on a dark winter day.

November 26, 2001. Pace bus run 364 has finished its trip in deserted and seedy downtown Hammond, Indiana. It appears there will be no passengers for the run back to Illinois. Just as I was leaving, a young lady approached me offering to sell me a fur coat. I declined.
Since I photographed this, the two buildings across the street have been razed.

Sorry folks - been travelling and on and off since last Friday morn - so comments and new posts may be at a snail's pace until I catch up toward next weekend.
Having now had the faulty TPWS solenoid valve changed at Hellifield and the Class 47 returned to rear of the train, Stanier designed 'Jubilee' 4-6-0 no.45690 'Leander' picks up the pace as she passes Langcliffe with the 'Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express'. After leaving Bolton 54 minutes late, she eventually made it to Carlisle 16 minutes early.

My first visit to the Wensleydale Railway near Northallerton see's recently acquired Northern Rail Pacer pair 142060 and 142028 in there first days operation on the approach to Redmire with the 1430 from Leeming Bar.
They look strangely at home here.
It has been pointed out to me (I should have spotted it) that my previous upload at this location was not pin sharp at the eastern and western extremities of the image. I believe this could be due to a field curvature problem of the lens. I have therefore deleted that one and hope that this one is a little better. Details: GBRf Shed Class 66 No 66740, heads the 6S45 North Blyth – Fort William Alcan Tanks seen crossing Rannoch Viaduct at a snail’s pace as it climbs the Steep grade along the West Highland Line.

One of the places i really wanted to hit in Colorado was the San Luis & Rio Grande which i was hoping to chase some of their Maroon & gold painted engines. I arrived into Alamosa to find this beast tied down the night before this was taken next to the shops. I woke up the next morning to find that the engine and car 820 were gone so I headed east to quickly caught up to the test train heading for La Veta pass at a good clip. I would chase them as far east as Forbes Park before they would get deep into the Pass.
