A 3D printer would make this a lot easier... I just haven't had the time to build these crossing pieces (aqua) by hand. I'll hopefully have these assembled by the time Fx Bricks' P40 switches are released so i can also attempt to make 9V-compatible versions.
This mockup was done in Stud.io and is based on BrickTracks' R104 switch files.
Another installment in the small mech series. This time its Switch Fang! I tried incorporating the CCBS pieces in more interesting ways :D Hope you enjoy the build as much as i do :D Build video can be found on my youtube channel youtu.be/fLbU5Wno6h4
From a trip to Pittsburg in May of 1992. A Trio of Union Railroad switchers pull a heavy train of gondolas at some forgotten, by me anyway, location.
NS local V83 is switching the team tracks at Waynesboro. Covered hoppers loaded with plastic pellets are transferred to trucks here.
The Switch Mobility e1 bus on display on November 1st 2022 at the 2022 Euro Bus Expo held at the National Exhibition Centre. The bus was left hand drive with three doors.
The Burns Harbor Railroad switches the Port of Indiana in Burns Harbor, IN with a pair of GMTX GP38-2s.
This switcher is an MLW S-3 built for Bathurst Power & Paper in 1953 which Ivaco Rolling Mills acquired in 1999; The cab was rebuilt at some point. It clearly has not been in use for some time now. This is a bit southwest of the mill.
Fully Charged Live 2021 (aka Fully Charged Outside) was the latest event to be held at the Farnborough International site in Farnborough, Hants. The three-day event hosted a huge selection of electric vehicles including two PSV products. There was also an internal Park & Ride bus service operating using 8 buses over the course of the event with the addition of an occasional trip to Farnborough (Main) railway station.
I visited on the overcast Saturday and returned on the sunny Sunday. For the record, buses seen were:

WCGS pauses for a moment just outside of donaldson before splitting the power to switch out the spur
With the lead unit, GP9 109 tucked away on a house track, SD40-2 262 pulls the Friday Helena Switch into the siding at Townsend. The 262 will be dropped off here for work train duty, and the 109 will run solo back with Helena with the train.
One of the many great things about short line railroads is that many of them have not replaced these massive station name signs. Class 1 railroads often seem to replace these with smaller signs at either end of the station (or siding). But, not the case here in Holyoke, CO as a westbound manifest actually makes a reverse move to the east by the sign on the main track. If you look beneath the Holyoke sign, you can see the conductor, riding on the rear boxcar, protecting the reverse move back toward the remainder of the train.

CNW RS-3 1554 has finished its work for the day and it is returning from the Winona Levee to the CNW Yard in Winona, MN. It is about to pass under the CNW mainline bridge. Mike E. Crowe ventured up onto the steel bridge that crosses the switching lead to take the photo. By this time, the CNW trackage up the embankment and across the Mississippi River was largely out of use. Taken Feb 2, 1977.
It is hard to believe only a dozen deckers in Leeds retain the first olympia livery in January 2023. The transformation of the fleet into the smart green livery has happened at an impressive pace driven through fleet investment and transfers out. The majority of those left in the old colours mix in on Bramleys routes, mainly the 19 & 56. One of the last 37650 is shown here with the "wide" advert which seemed popular at one time.
One of the few NOPB jobs I caught actually moving! This yard job was switching cars at French yard on the east side of New Orleans. Sep 1, 2015.

On a damp December 8, 1985, MKT MP15AC No. 57 switches at Glenn Park Yard in Kansas City, Kansas, as cabooses from the home road and Soo Line stand by.
A sunny afternoon in the quaint border town of Fort Erie, Ontario finds CN 2100 (née CNW 8553) sitting on the once busy shop track. Today, Ft. Erie is all but a shadow of it's former self, and the vintage switch lock is one of the few reminders from the once bustling yard.

W&LE 105 and 102 head toward Gambrinus yard in Canton after spotting cars for Timken on the afternoon of 3/28/16.

Wrecked CSX AC4400 #72 arrived at Mid-America Car in Kansas City a few days ago & this morning, I photographed it being switched into the facility by MAC's SW1 #82. Two other wreck-damaged units that came in with it were CEFX AC44 #1026 and CSX GEVO #5348. I'm not sure exactly where the wreck occurred, but it was on the KCS in Louisiana.
A local picks up a string of hoppers from an industry. Unfortunately, due to the location of the switch and the length of the train, the north switch at Brighton is blocked, preventing the coal empty on the siding from being able to continue north.

A pair of standard cabs switch cars on the west side of the yard east of Fostoria. NS Fostoria District. Fostoria, OH. February 12, 2022.
On a hot and humid Chicago summer morning this NS job kept busy. South Chicago Packing in Chicago's South Side Bridgeport neighborhood is one of the last companies still operating from the meat packing days of this area. It receives tank cars of edible beef tallow for processing into various food ingredients.
South Chicago Packing has its own car mover for shuffling around the tank cars on its tracks.
It was the first time I caught this Norfolk Southern job working the area in 15 years of passing through.
At one time the Bridgeport neighborhood on its west side had a maze of railroad tracks that weaved in and around industries including the massive Spiegel mail order company on 35th Street which was a customer. In recent decades Bridgeport has started to gentrify and the railroad tracks along with the industries they served mostly disappeared.
Bridgeport is best known as the home of the Chicago White Sox on its east side and the infamous Bubbly Creek on its western border.
Yes, the train was parked when I took this photo from the sidewalk in case anyone is wonder.
