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.

Entrances to Switch House East, one of the apartment complexes within the re-purposed, Grade II* listed Battersea Power Station. London Borough of Wandsworth.
Penn Central diesel electric locomotives EMD SW1200 # 9195, ALCO RS3 # 5482 & EMD GP9B # 3808 are seen in the former New Haven Railroad Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 1972. In the back ground other locomotives such as EMD GP9's and GE U25B's are seen. The catenary has been long gone since the New Haven Railroad days of the late 1950's and early 1960's, and the yard is just a shadow of itself by this time due to the removal of numerous tracks. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this view I believe from one of the various overhead walkways that were situated in the yard area. Notice that you can clearly see the engineer in the cab of the EMD SW1200 switcher in the bright sunlight. Deep in the background you can see one of the old roundhouses.
NYS&W WS-4 with SD45-2 3618 switches the Campgaw Siding in Franklin Lakes, NJ, just after sunset. The engineer carefully shoves back towards the hitch while crossing Pulis Ave.
A pair of IC geeps lead CN local L508 onto the single track at Byron, WI on the railroad's Waukesha Sub. The train will stop ahead to begin work at the Quad plant located here.
One of the crew of this LIRR ballast train lines the switch so the train can proceed through the yard at the Hillside Support Facility.
An abandoned papermill virtually untouched by vandalism or graffiti. Not sure about the whole history but it dates back to the 1920s/30s.
The Chocolate Milk Germany UE Tour. All win no fail and some epic locations with host, sunny weather, many miles travelled and much chocolate milk consumed.

For many years, CSX's Wyoming Yard was synonymous with MP15s and GE drones. Here we see regularly assigned MP15AC #1177 working with RCPHG4 #9249 on the Y193 switching job on the Old Even. The drones like #9249 contained the remote control equipment necessary for RC operation, making any locomotive they were paired with RC. Eventually CSX realized that maintaining the power-less drones was too expensive, and the RC equipment was moved to conventional locomotives instead.
Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.

Fascinating catch of an ex Baltimore and Ohio GP40. North Carolina Virginia was switching Georgia Pacific. Seen here they are just pulling onto the main line. The locomotive still carries the paint of Arizona and California Railroad which is also a Genesse and Wyoming holding that was formerly part of the Santa Fe Railway. It is now listed as a GP38-3.
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.
Chicago & North Western GP9R #4544 is switching stored cars at the former CGW Ingalton Yard in 1985.

The road power is going to double-out and the crew member on the ground just threw the switch so the power can roll past. He will throw the switch again so the power can knuckle up to its first cut of freight cars.
