Train Siding

This is a largely disused siding north of Hamilton (Horotiu) on the NIMT, probably serviced the near-by meat factory in days gone by. The setting sun behind the tree in the top left of frame provided some nice light to frame this DL heading south from Auckland.

There is something about the views out of a train window, and I wanted to catch both the scene and the motion of the journey.

vías muertas,
trenes que perdimos y no volverán,
amapolas bailando sobre sus ecos...
sidings,
trains that we lost and not return,
poppies dancing on their echoes...

Blue Ridge Southern train T59 re-arranges its train on the siding at Hazelwood, on the west side of Waynesville. A trio of former Delaware & Hudson GP39-2s are in charge of the train today. The propane cars will eventually go over Balsam Mountain to the west to reach a distributor in Sylva, although today the train is just headed back east to Canton.
This old house in Farnham, Virginia, is not presently occupied. It has an old rusting tin roof on the house and a tile roof on the porch. It looks like new siding has been installed on the top section. Hopefully it is going to be fully restored.
The entrance to the porch and the right side of the house is covered in vegetation. Of course, there are still Christmas lights on the porch and some chairs on which to sit and relax. HWW
A pair of southbound C&NW former N&W C628's enter the siding at Marinette, Wisconsin to meet their northbound counterpart from Green Bay. The third unit is a re-engined Baldwin AS16 complete with EMD GP9 long hood - November 9, 1978.

In the late 19th century the Midland Railway challenged the orthodoxy of locomotive design with its small engine policy. Rather than building larger and larger engines, the Midland deliberately designed and built large numbers of small engines, mostly for freight work. The policy favoured simplicity and the 0-6-0 wheelbase.
Fast forward to the 1950s and the British Transport Commission's modernisation programme was clearly influenced by the Midland's small engine policy. While type 3 (1500hp-2000hp) and type 4 (2000hp-3000hp) locomotives were ordered, over 1,000 smaller locomotives were built, including the locomotives seen here.

First opened as a private enterprise in 1914 after five years of construction, the seven mile long Cape Cod Canal was originally a for profit tollway. In 1928, the government purchased the canal for $11.4 million as a free public waterway, and $21 million was spent between 1935 and 1940 increasing the canal's width to 480 feet as seen here and its depth to 32 feet.

May 4th was a mostly cloudy day, so seeing a sucker hole approach the sun at a promising velocity warranted excitement. The sun did work in my favor, but unfortunately the train diverged into the siding making for a close and more head-on shot than I had initially hoped. PNRR 8212, the last operational C39-8, led the Pennsylvania Northeastern local from Lansdale to Glenside, and seen here traveling from Warminster back to Glenside.
One of a diminishing number of duties for industrial locomotives in the UK, the former 08375 heads along the branch between Wards Siding and HeidelbergCement 's Ketton cement works with empty cement tankers.
The tanks had left Ketton the previous evening for St Pancras, and after unloading and returning to Wards Siding are tripped the short distance to the works as seen here.
