Burlington Northern train 203 cruises through Stratford, Illinois, on October 15, 1988. The westbound freight is powered by two members of BN’s huge EMD SD40-2 fleet.
At sunset, an eastbound Milwaukee Road “Sprint” piggyback train approaches Signal Bridge 19 at Sheffield Tower in Kansas City, Missouri, on December 8, 1985. This is on the Kansas City Terminal and this area has changed just a bit, with the signals gone and a flyover passing over the place instead of the interlocking.

During our one night stay in Visalia, CA, we went for a walk after dinner. There was a lot of noise from a nearby park so we went over to investigate. It turned out to be a sprint car racing. Something none of us had ever seen before. They noise was incredible, so there was nothing else to do beside watching, then drinking beer and eating popcorn. We felt like real americans:-) The popcorn guy was a very nice chap, telling me a lot about the sport. He would probarbly tought me even more, but the noise put an end to that. Anyhow, the show was fantastic, the beer was great and I got a really nice talk with the popcorn man, whom you can see in the red tent, getting ready to close for the evening as we walked home.

Vanuit Leiden en Uitgeest komen in de avondspits Sprinters aan te Haarlem. Links zijn de 2143+2963+2112 te zien. Rechts twee SNG-stellen, waarvan ik de nummers niet heb gezien.
De 2112 (ex 2002 uit 1975) was op dat moment het oudste dienstdoende treinstel bij NS.

Photos from Saturday's race at Knoxville Raceway. This track is a semi-banked half-mile dirt oval raceway at the Sprint Car Capital of the World in Knoxville, Iowa.
Individual photos were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T6 with a EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens and developed with Darktable 3.6.0. The collage was created with Photoshop..
"Sprinting To Winter"
The weather lately has been an interesting mix of winter, not winter, almost winter, and a bit of autumn hanging around. It definitely feels a bit like being stuck in a perpetual loop of weird weather so I thought I'd take that inspiration and create something fun with it, running toward winter full force, leaving autumn behind!
While editing this, the soundtrack to Home Alone was playing and this image worked perfectly with the frenzied music of the scene when they're all running through the airport to catch their flight, sometimes December feels like that, a sprint to make it to the end of the year without forgetting anything!
Do you like winter? Or maybe autumn is your favourite?
[NL] De Sprinter sprint naar Dordrecht. Treinstel 2214 van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen moet nog even volhouden totdat deze het een na laatste station bereikt: Dordrecht Zuid. De overweg aan de Wieldrechtse Zeedijk zorgt er in elk geval voor dat de trein door kan gaan met waar die mee bezig was. Na Zuid volgt de eindsprint naar Dordrecht. Je zou het eerder een marathon kunnen noemen, want trein 5954 uit Roosendaal heeft er al wat kilometers opzitten. Maar eenmaal aangekomen in Dordrecht volgt de rustpauze, exact 15 minuten.
[EN] NS Stadler FLIRT EMU 2214 sprints towards final call Dordrecht Zuid. After a short rest brake at Dordrecht Zuid, the final sprint towards Dordrecht follows. At Dordrecht, the sprint ends, although I would rather call it a marathon, as this service (Sprinter 5954) came from Roosendaal, in total 37,4 kilometres.
[DE] NS Stadler FLIRT Tz 2214 sprintet nach Dordrecht Zuid. Ab dort folgt noch ein Endspurt nach Dordrecht und hat der Zug seinem Ziel erreicht. Ich wurde es allerdings eher einen Marathon nennen, da dieser Sprinter-Leistung aus Roosendaal kam, total 37,4 Kilometer.

Seen once again in perfect conditions, RL309 and sister QUBE logistics unit RL310 sprint North to Somerton with 7635 empty grain having just unloaded at North Geelong in the states South West.
This train operates from Somerton as #MC4 to Oaklands for loading, before running back as #CM4 to Somerton loaded. From here, the train will either operate to Appleton Dock or North Geelong for unloading. On this occasion, the train went to North Geelong grain loop for unloading.
Once at Somerton after the train has been unloaded, the locomotives run light engine to North Dynon for refueling and prepping for their next run North.

Andy and Nigel appear to have taken to the water to get a shot of a Northern Rail Class 150 unit crossing the Weaver at Hunts Lock, Northwich (I'm pretty sure they didn't go in). Terry appears to be less convinced about the merits of diving in for a humble DMU.
This was the last shot I took from a fine two day tour of North Cheshire with my fellow Flickerites. The good news is that there are still many more to post once I've finished processing them!!

One more from the Oconomowoc Lumber Company parking lot, shows sprint train 211's marker doubled up today with a Thrall caboose tailing one of The Milwaukee Road's homebuilt ribsiders.

The Sprinter passes an old line side hut and venerable colour light signal. Wildlife report, deer seemed to have been laid up in the long grass nearby, though I don't think we disturbed them.
Amtrak ACS-64 no. 649 is seen leading Northeast Regional train 184 through Harrison Station as the last light of the day fades over the horizon.
The guys over at The LEGO Car Blog are running a contest having something to do with appeasing their elves. They say extra kudos points go to the contestants who somehow include an elf in their entries. You may as well just hand the prize to me, boys. Sprint racing is dangerous, dirty and stupid...which leads me to believe the elves will get their little panties in a bunch over this. Seems this foolish elf has discovered his own definition of Sprint Racing!
