After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
While I am fully in support of the Snowplow Sunday movement, there are many of us who can't participate due to lack of material. I believe others have started the idea of Switcher Sunday, and this is my offering fot this week.
After the sun has dropped below the horizon, a Lehigh Valley SW8 works one of the hump receiving tracks at Allentown Yard.
A pair of Cat-powered geeps switch cars in the Breckenridge yard while another job idles. The field have been harvested and tilled - a sign of the transition of seasons.
With Norfolk Southern, North Shore, and North Sunbury Bulk Transfer all using "NS", names can get confusing in Pennsylvania railroading.
This GE 50-Ton, former Navy, switcher engine has seen better days. With its swing couplers and side rods, I don't know if it is still in use or not.
MC 2010, 2012, and LTEX 3815 switch out reefers at Maritime Terminal in New Bedford, MA. 3815 was added to the consist here and, to my dismay, was added on the other end of what could've been a desirable northbound chase.
CN No. 8514, a MLW S-13 unit, tugs a single VIA duplex sleeper car around the maze of terminal trackage at Union Station in Toronto, back how it existed when this image was captured on 9 March 1984.

Pictured outside the UP shops in Omaha, Nebraska, UPMW 903999 is a 44-ton locomotive built as GE demonstrator No. 1399 in 1947.
It was sold by GE to the Union Pacific on March 28, 1947. Between 1956 and 1972, it served as the shop switcher in Pocatello, Idaho.
By the end of 1972, it was sent to Omaha for a complete rebuild. By February of the following year, it began its new role as the shop switcher in Omaha until retirement in 1974.
From a May 1992 trip to Pittsburgh. I have no idea where this is in the Pittsburgh area except it is crossing a river on a fairly large bridge. Perhaps one of you knows. If so please post in the comments.
The Columbia Basin Railway local is switching at Connell with its SD9s. Parked up in the distance is a short BNSF inspection train.
Union Pacific GP9 No. 195 switches the yard near UP’s car shops in Omaha, Nebraska, in June 1981. Mixed in the freight cars in the background are three former Rock Island bay-window cabooses, in three paint schemes, recently acquired from the bankrupt railroad after Rock ceased to exist in 1980.
Being switcher Saturday, I'll draw a few scans from the Bob Barnett collection. Amidst the short lines he loved, was the Bay Colony RR with its' fleet of ALCO 244 powered switchers. Conductor Bill Feindel is preparing to switch inbound cars from Conrail at Middleboro, MA in 1982. This scene has changed dramatically today. Robert C. Barnett photo SC Collection

A clean Southern Pacific Alco S-6 shuffles Amtrak power in Oakland, California. A grand total of 126 S-6 (DL 430) models were built by Alco in Schenectady, New York between May 1955 and December 1960. SP acquired far more than any other railroad with 70 of them.
On April 7, 2008, SMS SW1200RS #1337 leaves Delanson, NY with a one-car train for Guilderland. Scanned from a Fujichrome Provia 100F slide.
Toronto Hamilton and Buffalo 51 sits dead at the OSR Shops in Salford Ontario with OSR 1245 parked alongside.
When viewed small this image seems to be one thing but as it get larger it switches and it's true perspective emerges. I liked the pattern but also the surprise.
SOOC - pretty much.
Another look back a couple years to my first successful Batten Kill chase.
#4116 is a real live burbling 244 powered Alco RS3...and an ex Delaware & Hudson loco (4116 blt Sept 1952) on D&H "home rails" no less!
Seen here switching out Carovail, one of the Batten Kill Railroad's two regular remaining customers.

This Saturday morning special required a bit of research. I resorted to an old copy of New England Sates Limited, a magazine from the 80's that Fred and his friend Don Valentine published years ago. On a trip to see the "new" Mass Central RR, Whitcomb 44 tonner, number 401 heads north over Main Street passing the site of Mill No. 1 in Thorndike, built in 1845, on March 29, 1980. The train will pause at Forrest Lake Jct and head west over the B&M Bondsville branch to Diamond National Co paper. Fred Bailey Photo

February 13, 2011: A mine run switches dolomite hoppers in the storage tracks at Riverview (Tacoma), Virginia on the the N&W Clinch Valley District.
One-of-a-kind MNNR 42 has detached from its train in the yard while switching. The yard was not too busy on this day, but these change change day-to-day. Nice not to have an intensely smokey sky for a change.
Dartmouth dayshift 505 was advised to go pull three empty gons from Cherubini on July 16, 2022, and where I was just getting back from Moncton (having worked 122), the timing worked out perfectly for me. 505 with 4139 & a GP40-2W are seen on the CN Autoport Spur in Shearwater, where the crew will soon run around their cars outside of Autoport's compound before heading back west to Dartmouth Yard.
