Arriving at Townsend, the Helena Switch gets to work. The first order of business is splitting the consist, so that SD40-2 262 can be dropped off for ballast train duty. How classy is that Northern Pacific-era searchlight signal bridge?

Coopersville & Marne's engine #7014 leads a work train en route to a local warehouse to remove an old spur.
A switch job (R921, which is a Proctor crew) backs into Mountain Iron to clear for a northbound limestone load, my primary target. They backed around the curve but I didn't see what they pulled out.

Marquette Rail's Z151 switches Van's Logistics on their way north out of Grand Rapids. To the right of the train is the former Pennsylvania RR right of way, which parallels the MQT (former Pere Marquette) north to Comstock Park. A pair of ex CP SD40-2s and a former B&O GP38 provide the power on this day.

The conductor throws the switch for track PK25 as the Pointe St-Charles Switcher prepares to run around two cars before shoving back to the yard, with CN 4141 & CN 4707 for power.
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.

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.
Isn't it amazing how old black and white film can still work? I'm not sure how old this film is, but Kodak stopped manufacturing it in 1984. This film is 70mm wide.

As we ended our walk along the tracks, we came to a railway junction, seemingly guiding us to choose either the fog or the sun.
Okay, I'm cheating a bit- the Pennsylvania Railroad's "Panhandle" line (the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) was located in the vacant space to the right. Just north of here, it swung east on its final approach to Chicago Union Station. NS retains one track from near Tower A-2 to Racine Avenue to switch the ADM mill there, and uses trackage rights on UP to access it. Aside from short sections in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood and in Riverdale and Dolton, as an active rail line the Panhandle has disappeared from the area. Through the Beverly, Washington Heights and West Pullman neighborhoods of Chicago's far south side, it exists as the Major Taylor Trail.
Anyway, here, NS 8102- the PRR heritage unit- is heading south on UP's former CNW Rockwell Sub, passing above Washington Boulevard with an empty WEPX Oak Creek coal train, bound for reloading back east on NS rails. The disused spur in the foreground served ADP Pallet, an industry that has switched to trucks for its needs. To the left is the architecturally-significant L&H Building, once a showroom and warehouse for an appliance manufacturer, then for a cash register company. Naturally, it once had a rail spur. Today it has been revamped into environmentally-friendly loft apartments, an outpost of posh development in an otherwise somewhat rough neighborhood.
