A well aged CN geep switches the American Chemical Service plant in Griffith, Indiana. This is on all former C&O of Indiana rails. The "J" took over this business once Chessie pulled out. ACS getting a switch seems to be a rarity these days. So, while out on a morning bike ride, I was more than happy to her them banging cars around over here. I headed right over. Shot with a Pentax 67 on Fuji Velvia 100F. All this...located right off of the Oak Savannah bike trail, for your foaming pleasure.
Maine Northern Railway Train 900-14 makes some switching moves at Skerry Siding on the Madawaska Subdivision.
Out of view behind the train is a massive sawmill owned by Maine Northern's parent company J.D. Irving. The mill makes up a large portion of MNR's traffic, shipping logs to Woodland, lumber, and chips for Irving's papermills in Saint John. Having just spotted a cut of empty chip cars, an army of front end loaders has already started the process of loading the empties. Roughly 50 chip cars, around 20 log cars, and 9 center beams can be loaded at a time. Depending on demand, the mill can be switched on both the north bound and southbound leg of 900's journey.
The empty log cars on the head end are destined for the yard at Fort Kent, where they will be loaded by the TNT Road Company which harvests for Irving Woodlands. Others will go to Irving's Grande-Riviere sawmill in Saint-Leonard, NB to be loaded there.

Pour chaque beauté, il y a quelque part un oeil pour la voir.
Pour chaque vérité, il y a quelque part une oreille pour l'entendre.
Pour tout amour il y a un cœur quelque part pour le recevoir.

Great Lakes Central does not normally run on the weekends, but an extra OSTN was called on this Sunday to pick up a large cut of cars from the CSX interchange at Ann Pere in Howell. Now back in Owosso, the crew switches out the train, blocking it out for the next day's northbound. Leading the train is GLC's newest repaint, SD40-2 #382, followed by veteran GP35 #390 and GP38-2 #396.

GP15-1 1531 assisted by CF7 1500 switching in York, Pa. 1500 was the last CF7 built by ATSF. Older pic, recent travels to York have not found it in operation.
I love this collage. I passed by it in a car for years and never realized how achingly beautiful it is until I walked by it on a quiet Sunday and stood and really looked at it. Made of thousands of old telephone switching parts it was created in 1961 by Anthony Heinsbergen and is located at 420 S. Grand on what is now the AT&T building.

...Switch sim will be gone at the end of December -- such good memories of this place -- it is a great place to take photos....
Maine Eastern GP9 764 switches the Dragon Cement facility on the Rockland waterfront, switching out empties for loads. They'll make quick work of the switching and bring the empties right back out to Thomaston, to be reloaded once again. To the right is the Rockland Sail Power & Steam Museum, a fairly busy attraction to tourists and native Mainers alike.
