A class Re 4/4 II locomotive has worked this InterRegio over the famous Gotthard route and is about to arrive in Lucerne. Shortly before, the train was recorded passing along the Rotsee lake on one of the last remainig single track sections in the SBB main line network. Fortunately, the train comprised three still gray liveried coaches, including an observation car Apm Pano. Today, all these coaches wear the same boring black and white livery as the baggage coach just behind the locomotive.
66304 catches some dramatic winter light as it runs through what remains of Severn Tunnel Junction with 4V44 10:47 Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal to Wentloog Freightliner.
I headed down to Cleveland Point on Friday night for fish n chips. It was such a pretty evening that I couldn't resist getting the camera out.
CP 3057 heads east through downtown Bath, Maine as F17 after leaving two empty perlite hoppers for Pan Am in Brunswick. This GP38-2 recently replaced CP 2279 as power for the lightly used Rockland Subdivision, and is the second CP unit to be used on the branch.
This is the first freight move in over three weeks on the branch as unfortunately traffic levels are way down due to BIW steel being unloaded south of here in recent months and cement from Dragon no longer being barged out of Rockland. As of right now the future of the line is uncertain with the possibility of FGLK still taking over operations depending on cement traffic levels in the coming months assuming Dragon would want to send any of their traffic over the interchange in Brunswick.

Visited Old Town San Diego to see a little history. Stopped by a haunted house and shopped for some over priced crafts. Good time.
April 22, 2006: An ex-N&W caboose brings up the rear of the Appalchia District local as it passes an empty train tied down in the siding at Tito, Virginia.
Underneath an overpass.. A set of lite power/helpers heads north to assist a CSX manifest up the line, meeting a stack train heading into Cumberland.
There is very little freight along the Vale of Glamorgan line nowadays now that the coal trains to Aberthaw stopped running in 2018 and the Ford Vans trains stopped last year. A welcome exception are the cement trains to and from Westbury and Moorswater, in Cornwall. In this scene, Class 70 No. 70812 passes through Barry station on the ‘down loop goods line’ to Aberthaw cement works working the 6C36 from Moorswater Tarmac empty tanks. The line to Barry Island is seen on the right.

A westbound (soon to be southbound) train is passing Benning Yard to the right. The train is on CSX's Alexandria Extension of the Capitol Subdivision-a former B&O main- at Shepherd Junction. The signals display "Slow Approach Slow" and "Approach Slow" respectfully and indicate to the crew that they are lined up to enter the former Conrail Landover Line at CP Anacostia which will lead them to the RF&P Subdivision and ultimately Richmond VA.
What is referred to as "The Old Yard Office" at Benning Yard in Washington DC, was actually an active CSX office at the time of this color slide taken on June 4, 2001. Exactly one month later on the night of July 4, 2001, the building was set on fire by vandals destroying the entire inside of the structure. Temporary trailers were set up for the crews, yardmaster, trainmaster, car dept, mow, and signal dept. The structure remained standing for another 8 years before it was finally demolished but to this day, the crossovers and the space the building occupied are still called "The Old Yard Office".
By late 2005 a new permanent yard office was opened closer to the interlocking plant at Anacostia, about a half a mile ahead in this photo.

Well yesterday was a superb day at the Great Central Railway with the Timeline Events team. Nowhere else in the country can you capture scenes like this, and with Timeline bringing it all together a memorable two days on the former Great Central Mainline.
In Steam and both running towards each other we have Standard 5 73156 on maroon coaching stock as 8F 48624 is seen on the windcutters.
First railway charter in a good while and back with a bang, great to catch up with so many friends over the two days, roll on the next one :)
