It's always fun to follow a line for the first time. I had never travelled with the Morris Sub or shot anything on it. Of course that also can mean some lost shots and confusion. Thankfully NTWLAU was maintaining a modest that allowed me to scope things out a little in advance.
Another great thing about going west is how many elevators have their own locomotives and they are often pretty easy to get a picture of. Lettered for United Farmers Co-op I haven't been able to determine the history of this switcher. You can tell it's lived some life, with a bent pilot and bent handrails. Murdock, MN, June 27, 2025.
Union Pacific President's Business train, lead by UP 8027 crosses from Main 2 onto the siding at Nelson, Illinois. The crew would wye the train and head back east to Global 3.
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:

I love this doll a lot!
I suddenly went out with her because I had to take outside pics of her like right now.
She now needs white eyelashes (but I suck so much at glueing eyelashes T.T)
Happy New Year! Here is my Switch Hwahui modeling a new hoodie that will be available at my Etsy shop on Jan 15 along with other new items for multiple doll sizes.
Also a reminder that I am currently accepting orders for SD17 or SD13 boys so feel free to message me at my shop (cyristinecreations.etsy.com)
All railroad switches at this station are manual.
Today, that is unique. At least in the capitol city.
One of the most impressive things I've seen during my visit of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp were the rail tracks which lead directly into the camp. Recommended to view large.

Day 59 - February 28, 2010
From Above, then from below.
Two photos of the same chair, shot from different perspectives, look extremely different.
Some of the biggest arguments I've had in life are also some of the silliest. And in hindsight both us were right. We just saw things differently.
When I glanced at this table, the light happened to be hitting my Kindle and Switch joycons just right, so I couldn't resist a quick shot with my new phone camera (which itself is working out quite well).
コタツのほうにふと見たらこんな魅力的な光があったので、最近購入したスマホのカメラで撮影してみました。なかなかのものだと思います。

Ex-WP 3557 GP40-2 UP 9991 and ex-MP 699 GP38-2 switch by the Rosboro lumber mill in Springfield. The engineer appears to be blowing on his hand, which would make sense as it was about 20 degrees.
A CN train working in the yard at Effingham, Illinois, has backed out and halted north of the diamonds with the CSX St. Louis Line to clear the block. It shown above heading back into the yard.

Switch House, Tate Modern designed by Herzog & de Meuron the extension to Tate Modern opened June 2016.

I couldn't tell what model this switcher is but it serves the Cargill grain elevator complex in Gilman, Illinois, adjacent to the Chicago Subdivision of Canadian National.
As soon as Amtrak 55 cleared the switch motor whirred to life and the signal out of the Deerfield siding flashed to a proceed and Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train ED9 sprang to life. They are accelerating in a haze of white exhaust as they slip thru CPR33 out onto the former Boston and Maine now MassDOT owned Conn River Main passing the vintage B&M era searchlights still standing guard performing the duty they have for generations. They will hustle down to South Deerfield for their first stop to work Nutrien Ag Solutions then continue on their way to Northampton to await a meet with northbound Amtrak train 56.
Looking nothing like the the old Pan Am, ED9 features two 'new' units brought in by Genesee and Wyoming, the B&E's parent. Leading is Bay Line 3018 an EMD GP40-2 originally blt. Oct. 1973 as DTI 418. BAYL became part of the Genesee and Wyoming family in 2005 when the holding company purchased parent Rail Management Corp. which itself had purchased the former Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railroad from Stone Container Corp. in 1994. Trailing is OVR 3029 a GP40-2W blt. May 1974 as CN 9426 and dressed in GWRR orange lettered for the Ottawa Valley Railrod.
Since Berkshire and Eastern Railroad has taken over operation of the Pan Am Southern property operations seem to have gotten much more predictable and consistent. At least outwardly their appears to be a bit more hustle and business seems to be on the uptick so hears hoping this this is a harbinger of even bigger and better things to come for the west end of the old Boston and Maine!

This really weird formation caught my eye...first it was going to the right then it switched, Lol to the left....I'm sure there is some logical scientific answer but I call it, switch.
Two axle diesel switcher at Alfarelos, Portugal, October 10, 1966. I have no information about this locomotive.
