A quiet moment finds dawn’s early sun rays highlighting the rails radiating off East Hump at North Platte, Nebraska, on May 5, 2011. All too soon, another Union Pacific freight train will be classified, with squealing wheels and clashing couplers, breaking the morning silence.

Spend a lovely day in Helsinki admiring the architecture and reality bending scenes. I guess this spot is quite famous for Helsinki people, but it is definitely worth to share here
A small railway tollhouse in the countryside near Urbino, regione Marche Not a train has passed through here since January 31, 1987, but everything is perfect time seems to have stood still.
Un piccolo casello ferroviario nella campagna vicino ad Urbino. Faceva parte della linea Fano -Urbino, chiusa il 31 gennaio 1987, ma tutto è in perfetto stato di conservazione e manutenzione. Qui il tempo sembra essersi fermato.

Today´s Soundtrack: Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
All aboard, hahahahahahaha!
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned
To rule and control
The media sells it
And you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah!
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles
I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just can not bear
I'm living with something
That just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Norfolk Southern Engineer Jim Haag brings his hotshot intermodal train through Brandtsville, PA; his last trip piloting NS 203. Haag is retiring after 20 years of riding the rails. Railfans know Haag from his photos that have been selected over the years for the popular Nofolk Southern calendar showcasing employee photography. Congrats on your retirement Jim!
“...one church memorably teaches that if all the trains were to be still, together, for one moment, if there were no rails percussing the iron road, all human life would wink instantly out.... it is the rails that dream us. We do not dream the rails.”
―(China Miéville: Railsea)―
The rails - the train tracks - that run through the old industrial downtown section of Medford, Oregon, like the arteries carrying blood throughout the body.
During the past couple of weeks, there have been many transports of long rails from Chorzów (Kościuszko steelworks/rolling mill) to Somonino and Gdańsk Osowa on the old coal mainline. I have never had the time to catch one of them in action, until one recent evening
S200-273 in the Soviet-style livery and SM42-2108 were tasked with hauling the TMS 454029 from Chorzów Stary to Gdańsk Osowa. With S273 breaking down constantly on the way, it was the SM42 that did all the heavy lifting. Despite this, the train had arrived in Gdańsk Osowa without difficulties, even with heavy passenger traffic in the rush hours.
The train coming in to Gdańsk Osowa way after sunset was a great opportunity to test a new lens, which I borrowed from Jarek for the time being. Here the first picture I took with it shows the train at arrival in Gdańsk Osowa, with S273 already being half-dead.
