Eight Thousand Horses spot seventy tons of bricks at W.R. Taylor Company in the middle of Tarragona Street in Pensacola, Florida. With apparently no more four-axles in the yard, a pair of six-axle Gevos did the honors of swapping an empty for a loaded boxcar at W.R. Taylor this night. While certainly not the ideal set of power for my liking, having caught a rare daylight move a few days prior with a proper leader on this already very difficult to catch and unique operation, I was happy to document the odd move. The empty boxcar was set out further back so the conductor could connect a road barrier to it across the street to avoid any northbound traffic while switching. Pensacola, FL

Sadly A4 No60009 has now been "formally" withdrawn from service and will only be seen as a static display at Bury Bolton street during the East Lancashire Railway's Autumn Gala.before moving on to its final resting place. This image was taken during a Russ Hillier photo charter on the Nene Valley Railway while she was taking a break from mainline tour duties in September 2017
A pair of BNSF Geeps lift a single 60' standard height boxcar from Building 8 in the Spokane Business and Industrial Park. At least five warehouses in the park still receive reefers or boxcars and a few more receive other shipments. I was just checking out the industrial park on some downtime and what do you know, there's the crew switching out customers. I missed most of the other switching, but as luck would have it the last thing on their list was to pull this lone boxcar from the most decrepit spur in the park, much to my delight! Spokane, WA
This is a local company but I think the truck was previously owned by that national tree service.
Happy Truck Thursday

This was taken at 11:30pm when the park rangers are gone. They will not allow tripods. This is a 2 min. exposure at f4, ISO 1600. Canon 5DMarkII. I am walking through the image with two Canon strobe flashes to illuminate the names on the wall.
