Iowa Northern North job heading North thru the Black Hawk County Conservation Commission's Rotary Reserve park on a dank and wet Sunday afternoon. This train shoved all the way down to Franklin St in Waterloo, and then Headed West/North on the CN Industrial lead. I had to stop at a Walgreens to get some cold/flu med, and saw the tail end of her going thru CF Jct, so I headed up Union Rd to catch her at Rotary. Very easily done when 10-15mph on their home rails is the usual max speed
With 56096 at the helm and a filthy 56113 at the rear, two Colas Rail men pause for a chat whilst they let an Arriva Trains Wales unit pass in-front. The grids were working 3S71 2120 Shrewsbury Coleham Ss to Shrewsbury Coleham Ss Rail Head Treatement Train (RHTT).

A Union Pacific COFC train heads through Hearst Siding near Sunol, CA. On the side track a mixed freight sits waiting, the EOT flashing red.
The Union Pacific local that works between Columbus and Grand Island passes an old elevator west of Silver Creek. I don't remember when this elevator was in operation, probably being worked by a local like this one, but I am old enough to remember when standard cab EMDs would've been the norm on the Overland Route, there was a center siding here, and the two mains were operated with directional running and ABS. It was nice to get at least a little glimpse of that past at the end of 2023.
GBRf 66752 'The Hoosier State' leads it's train through Wanborough on the Alton - Ardingly leg of the Alpine Sunbeam railtour with 73128 & 73136 on the rear.
Apart from the beauty of the wonderful natural scenery around us, we are also fortunate to have some interesting cloud formations regularly passing by. Thanks for stopping by!
37190 stands with the 0919 Fort William to Glasgow and awaits entry to the single line at Rannoch as 37085 & ETHEL approaches with the Euston to Fort William sleeper service on 1st March 1984.
This was a quick shot reeled off safe in the knowledge that we'd have plenty of time to get back on- all perfectly achievable before RETB and door locking!
Fortunately I managed at least one shot with the Rannoch semaphores in before the box closed with the advent of RETB signalling in May 1988.
Note the old blue Scottish Region Rannoch station sign.
We'd had 37090 overnight from Inverness on a cold 2350 Inverness to Glasgow for 37011 from Glasgow to Tulloch for 37190 back to Queen Street.
37011 was stored unserviceable in February 1987 after sustaining collision damage. It was withdrawn in August the same year and cut up in 1989 at Wellington.
Meanwhile 37190 was stored unserviceable in June 1992 and bought for preservation in 1994. It can be seen currently on the Midland Railway.
A fair amount of demolition is underway on the approaches to Leicester station as 45052 "NIMROD" heads past the locomotive depot with a service from Derby - St Pancras on 5th February 1988.
