Before starting their snow busting journey south to Eagle Bridge the Batten Kill Railroad Alco duo had to spot up some loads at the Cargill plant and cleat the mainline. The SNE RS32 runs remarkably clean but still will give a bit of that signature Alco smoke when throttling up. But you have to be ready and quick with your camera to capture it!
This was my first time getting to shoot the privately owned Southern New England Railroad unit working here since the day earlier in the year when I was lucky to shoot her arrival to the Batten Kill dead in tow. SNEX 5012 is ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 (blt. 12/59) and is coupled up with Batten Kill's own G&J 4116 an RS3 (blt. 9/52) built 1952 for the D&H that has spent all of her life on the rails for which she was built.

Green Bay and Western RS20 305 is switching the west end of Norwood Yard in Green Bay, September 1979.
CSXT Middleboro based local B727 (now officially known as L007) led by GP40-2 6237 (blt. Feb. 1979 as BO 4335 in Chessie System paint) and two sisters are switching on the Myles Standish Industrial Lead. They are curving off to spot one reefer at Americold and then will go pull one from Reinhart Foodservice at the end of track before coming back here to work the busy New England Waste Disposal transfer station. This branch is accessed from Attleboro Junction at MP 8.6 on the Middleboro Secondary a bit over a half mile behind me here.
The Middleboro Sub is strange in that it is owned by MassDOT and dispatched and maintained by Mass Coastal, but CSX still operates it and serves the customers as the direct corporate successor of CR, PC, NH, and all the way back to the Old Colony Railroad. In fact this particular segment of line here on the Myles Stabdish was opened in 1836 by OCRR predecessor Taunton Branch Railroad making it one of the oldest rail routes in New England. Becoming a mainline for the Old Colony it survived as a secondary through route under New Haven aegis seeing its last passenger train pass shortly before the connection with the shoreline was severed at Mansfield in 1955 to make way for a highway grade separation project.. The tracks into Mansfield center lasted until about 1966 for freight service served from this end, but then were abandoned leaving only the present 1.5 mile stub still in use today up to the large industrial park.

Just another shot from this fun relaxing day out on the Mohawk, Adirondack and Northern.
MHWA 2453 (Alco C425 blt. Oct. 1964 as Erie Lackawanna 2453) was repatraited back to the states with several sisters after a long post EL career in British Columbia. On this Thursday the crew ran west from Utica with a shirt train and switched in the small yard on the former Griffis Air Force Base before running out to the end of the former USAF trackage to work here. Once completed they headed back east with 10 cars via the fast running on their trackage rights over CSXT's Mohawk Sub mainline.
This is the major customer that the MHWA serves in what is now the Griffiss Technologies and Business Park. Sovena USA was founded as the East Coast Olive Oil Corporation in Utica in 1991, and 80 percent of it was acquired in 2005 by the Portugal-based Sovena Group, which two years later renamed it Sovena USA and moved it to Griffiss.

Often times the best opportunities for photos comes before the main event. I photographed P36-0110 switching in the yard at Shcherbinka on August 24, 2019, in preparation for Expo1520.
MRL 251 shuffles cars in the yard at Logan on a cool morning. It just dropped the hoppers ahead for the grain elevator and will now put together its train to head west of the 5th Sub.

The single car 518 picked up a couple of ballast hoppers at Grove City and made for a nice scene as they switched them out beside the old yard office while getting very short on time.
US traction to the fore. At Aggregate Industries' Torr (Merehead) Quarry GM EMD SW1001 no. 44 draws a rake of loaded stone hoppers forward towards the A361 overbridge and loaders.
The switcher will subsequently place the rake in the far left road before providing a helpful shove to 59102 in the adjacent road; the 7A16 1705 to Hanwell Bridge Loop will reverse out of the yard before heading east.

A Merseyrail Class 508 EMU switches back onto the correct Liverpool bound track just south of Maghull Station. It was involved in this switch because on 4th November the line north of Maghull to Town Green, Aughton Park and terminus station Ormskirk was closed. Can't just recall whether the short running on this occasion was due to an RMT strike day over driver only operation (when the new Merseyrail Stadler stock is introduced) or whether it was caused by an engineer's possession due to the construction of the new Maghull North Station a mile north of the present Maghull Station. In the background you can just make out another Merseyrail 507 or 508 EMU awaiting a clear line to run into Maghull Station.
And some autumnal colours too of course.
The Morning Helena Switch (Y HEL0601 29 A) is in the process of setting out their cars at Helena Yard in Helena MT, March 29, 2018. MRL SD40-2XR was built for the C&NW in January 1966 as an SD40. Nikon F, f2 50mm, 1/500th at f5.6, Fuji Acros 100.
An ES44AC and an SD70M bring UP train MTPKC-02 up to Hickory St on Main Track 2 of the UP KC Metro Sub as it meets "Run 12", CPKC train YKK12-02, with a KCS Belle trio including a pair of GP40-3's and an SD70MAC. These guys are holding on Main Track 1 with a transfer from CPKC's Knoche Yard to UP's 18th St. Yard, and they're waiting on a better signal at Kaw Tower.
The transfer is waiting on another westbound ahead of it on 1 to clear up, which itself is waiting on traffic around 18th St. to clear. With a train working 18th St on Main 1, that westbound ahead of the transfer will cross over to 2 at K004 once the MTPKC is through, and this will then allow the transfer to continue its way west behind it. The MTPKC will have to hold here at Hickory St until the transfer gets moving, as the transfer is strung out through Broadway and preventing the MTPKC from crossing over there. So basically, everybody's waiting on everybody. Confused?
Off to the left at State Line Yard is the KCRR SW1500 No. 3408, a former Frisco switcher assigned to Jaguar Transport Holdings, LLC's Kansas City West Bottoms Railroad, which will begin operations this week. 3/2/25.
