BPRR 3881 descends the steep grade of Lewis run, leading RISI into Bradford as the last few minutes of sunshine fade away.
This week we are going back seventeen years to 2009, and to AW 12 turning onto O'Connell Bridge with a service on route 4A to Harristown.
Route 4A started operating between Harristown and Stradbrook (going via Ballymun and Blackrock) in November 2007. It only lasted until September 2010 when it was absorbed into an extended route 4 under Network Direct.
AW 12 was one of twenty articulated buses delivered to Dublin Bus in 2000. Following the launch of the new route 4 in 2010, the AW Class started to be phased out. All members were withdrawn by early-2011. AW 12 was subsequently sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

Just another take on this scene for the trip album from last May's adventure on the Range.
This would ultimately be the last train of our time on the Iron Range (for now) and it was quite the stunning way to end our time here. We'd manage it at three spots before calling it a day and heading to Duluth for a celebratory dinner and beers down on the waterfront
A U790 train of empty hoppers is heading to Minntac for another load of pellets to turn around and take back to Two Harbors. The train is crossing the fill over Embarsass Lake and approaching South Biwabik at about MP 58.6 on modern day CN's North Division Iron Range Subdivision mainline. The standard three pack of ex CNW C40-8s have a train of modern CN era ore cars (over 1000 of which were acquired between 2009 and 2018) on the historic former Duluth and Iron Range Railroad which was the other component half of the DMIR created in 1938 when the two roads long owned by US Steel were officially merged. Today Biwabik is home to a 6118 ft passing siding and a small little used yard, but in the old raw ore days it was bustling as a marshaling point for the mine branches seemingly radiating in all directions as well as the main continuing into Virginia. They will pull down past the remains of the yard and pause at the north (compass west) end to wait for a meet with a loaded southbound U789 counterpart.
This is a region that should need no introduction to even the most casual fan as the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway is in a word legendary. I won't bore you with pages of history as I couldn't do the road or region justice anyway. It simply needs to be experienced for oneself. But I will direct you to two resources. Absolutely check out the fabulous historical information here: www.missabe.com/

Going back (again) to my Alaska 2008 trip. I'm on a tram in Juneau overlooking this little boat called a YACHT. :)

Big power for a coal train: Because it was expected the two big UP GE locomotives wouldn't be sufficient power to haul their loaded coal train up Byron Hill, the crew picked up a Wisconsin Central GP-7 that had been set out at the north end of the Duplainville siding. This may have been the last time the venerable geep was used in revenue service.

Before pressurized radiators, manometers were used on top of the radiators for temperature monitoring.
They did take on a life of their own;-)

Ah the good ole days. Sharpie abounds.
I don't usually do TbT but this one seemed to warrant it.
Watchmen minifigs I made probably back in 2010 or 11, and apparently thought they were good enough to document. Ha.
I'm not gonna list parts and stuff, instead I'm gonna get to work on making updated figs.
Let me know what you think of my past endeavors!

A hot July afternoon in 1997 finds a CR SD60 and SD40 duo leading a westbound mixed freight through Chesterton, Indiana, on what is now the Norfolk Southern Chicago Line. At this point, Conrail had less than two years to live, as earlier that spring NS and CSX had reached an agreement to acquire the Big Blue railroad that had been formed two decades earlier.
