A Belt transfer job with an SW-7A 503 & SW7-B 512 are coming out of the Belt's Clearing yard, approaching 75th street interlocking, which crosses CSXT (Former B&O). Scanned from a slide.
So I knew of A westbound BNSF business train out of Topeka today, but it had both of the domes, and a Tier IV GE on the point. Regardless, I swung by their yard here today, and was surprised to find ANOTHER one pulling out of the yard! Here, you see it rolling under 37th St. on the city's south side.
This one, however was led by a much less intriguing ES44 no. 7395, and had eight cars in tow. The was the OTOPTOP808, which presumably made a round trip to/from Emporia, although perhaps it went further south (RR west).
Regardless, it's always nice to just stumble upon cool trains like this. Keep 'em coming!
I always try to look for interesting bits of detail in my railway images, so this suited me down to the ground. Seen at Llangollen here as the crew give the Loco a well deserved drink of water
Wikipedia: Canadian National 89 is a E-10-a class 2-6-0 "Mogul" type steam locomotive, built in February 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT). Originally number No. 1009, it was renumbered to No. 911 in 1919. It then came under Canadian National (CN) ownership in 1923 when the Grand Trunk merged. It was then renumbered again to No. 89 in 1951. Most of No. 89's early life is a mystery, but it spent the latter part of its working life in Quebec until retirement in 1958 and being stored in the deadline in Montreal. It was purchased by F. Nelson Blount in 1961, who sent it to operate on the Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC) and later Steamtown, U.S.A.. It was then purchased in 1972 by the Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) who were looking for an engine to pull the half-hour trains. As of 2025, it is in operation at the Strasburg Railroad.

I've been waiting for some time to chase one of Northern Lines Windmill trains in good light and a few weeks ago, it finally happened. NLR 1411 heads down the old Cold Spring spur with windmills for Sauk Centre. Once they make the trip out to Rockville they will be unloaded and then trucked the rest of the way.

The first limestone train of the spring into the Fairline plant at Forbes, Minnesota returns to Duluth lite power with a nice assortment of Proctor assigned older EMD power - April 11, 2023.
It's Santa time at Fort Blackmore as Clinchfield 800 brings the 75th edition of the Santa Train to town. CSX did it right with this one; I can't wait to see what they do for the 100th edition.
That is, assuming that CSX and I are still around in 25 years.
A busy scene on the approach to Manchester Piccadilly on 5th October 2015. 5 different classes of DMU and not an electric train in sight despite the forest of OLE!

One of the many many many train stations in Japan, this one being Yokosuka. If you get the opportunity to visit the country, research about the train etiquette. Majority of citizens in the country use it as transportation so you want to make sure you give a good impression :)

This is an empty ballast train en route to Granite Canyon on Sherman Hill's east slope, the principal source of ballast then and now on UP's Overland Route. The 70-ton hoppers in this train were equipped with Enterprise doors that could be flipped to dump between the rails, outside the rails, or both. The Enterprise doors were arranged parallel to the car, not across the car, as was typically found on cars designed principally for coal, mineral ores, sand, and gravel.
While these cars were also used in coal, sugar beet and iron ore service, when not needed for ballast, trains hauling those commodities on UP in this era rarely had uniform equipment, nor the old baggage car entrained on the head end, that carried the laborers that dumped the ballast from the cars, and their hand tools and water jugs.
The three trailing GP40s included three Rock Island pool units, two of its own and a real rare one, EMDX 24, a warranty unit loaned to railroads when its own GP40s did not achieve the manufacturer's guaranteed minimum availability. There were 20 such units, numbered 11-26 and 2068-2071, built in April and May 1969. They eventually were sold to Penn Central (15), Milwaukee Road (4), and Toledo, Peoria & Western (1). They were painted black and unadorned save for their white numbers. Presumably the 24 was on loan to the Rock Island.
The UP never purchased a GP40 new. It acquired its examples only through acquisition of other railways, including the Chicago & North Western, Cotton Belt, Katy, Rio Grande, and Western Pacific.
I finally visited the Train World museum in Brussels, which opened in September 2015. Its huge collection of train memorabilia really takes you back in time and there are plenty of locomotives and train cars to climb into. Note to Urban Sketchers: it's very dark in the museum so bring a reading light!
I generally dislike seeing CSX power on this KCS train or its counterpart, the I-VNKC...unless it's clean like this leader. This train will become the Q106.
I went to take some photos of trains with a friend for the first time, something different. However, I know next to nothing about trains, so hence the simple title - train.
On 2-15-17, UP moved a set of power including some SD60M's from storage into Chicago to address a temporary power shortage. Photo is taken at the DeKalb depot.
