Another Genset moves light towards Washington Union Station. Amtrak rebuilt/desecrated a number of older end-cab switchers into these models.
Switching gears for a while! Won't have IPS consistently for the next week! However, every chance I can, will check-in to see what you see! I have learned more from all of you than any photography book on my shelf! And you all are soooo much more user-friendly! ;-) Many Thanks!
I love that if you switch the 'D' and the 'S' in Sadie you'd have 'Dasie'. :)
This is Sadie plopping her little chin down on the edge of our pink tablecloth covered table. I tickled her face with the daisy and she wound up joining in the shoot and stealing all the daisy's thunder.

C&S 802 works a cut of tankcars in Cheyenne, the northern end of the C&S system. 802 was from a group of five 2-8-2s built by Baldwin in 1911. Much like sister locomotive 801, 802 would last until 1959.

CN 7032 leads the CN 1500 Hamilton Yard Job as they make a rare appearance in the east end of Hamilton, Ontario's industrial area, where they are pictured switching out Yellowline Asphalt.
Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.

I spent my first free evening in a while looking for trains along the UP in northwest Iowa. When I got to Worthington and saw the local power wasn't parked by the depot, I knew there was a good chance I would find them somewhere between there and Sheldon. As it turned out, I got to Sheldon just in time to get a few pictures of them completing their work before they would start their trip back north. A nice looking pair of EMDs shoves a cut of hoppers back toward the elevator, passing the former C&NW depot that's still standing.
The ICTF switcher pulls a string of double stacks at the north end of Dolores Yard. These SD60Ms were primarily in yard and local service by this point. Most would be off roster within a few years. Today, a large fence spoils most of the photo opportunities here.
The ultra friendly folks at the Apache Railway allowed us to sign a release in exchange for limited access on the property. We weren't allowed to go very far from the building or cross tracks, but it was better than getting kicked out!
After waiting a couple hours for their safety meeting, etc, the crew finally got on the APA 98/99 and started working the yard prior to departure.

Laying over on a slow Sunday, BNSF 2661 sits outside the shops for Metra's BNSF Line and the Zephyr Pit. Since BNSF is the operator for Metra trains to Aurora, they also provide power for switching at Chicago Union Station.

Model: Allie (Instagram: www.instagram.com/tiny.empath/)
She had showed up right at the end of the event and not even to model, but was instantly able to use her uncanny ability to make a simple portrait just a little more interesting.

Vermilion Valley is about to set the hand brakes on this string of stored tank cars. After shoving 50 west to pick up 22, Annie(8310) does the work alone easily as the second unit, 4029, lost its main generator right before the switching started.
To get cars to and from Oconto Falls, the ELS uses a switch back and gravity to move cars around the wye. Here the first cut is being pulled out to the main. The 500 would go back in 3 more times and bring another 7 cars out to the main. These crews have it down to an exact science and make it rather fun to watch the operation.
